In this episode, Alyse Maslonik shares her story of surviving domestic abuse and sexual assault during her childhood. She talks about the constant state of fight or flight that she lived in and how it affected her personal development. Alyse also discusses her upcoming book, "The Anger She Keeps: A True Story of Rage and Redemption," which explores the theme of holding onto anger as a way of healing."I get if no one wants to believe me, but I wouldn't feel right or if I would just not try one more time and then someone else becomes a victim. So that is why I told my mom. But it's interesting. There was so much turmoil in my life, even when I told my mom, it was not a turning point."Alyse challenges the societal notion that anger is a negative emotion that must be suppressed, especially for women and victims of trauma. She shares her experience of how harnessing her anger helped her find healing and move forward. Her healing journey was not linear, however, and she had to overcome obstacles such as her mother's initial disbelief in her accusations of abuse, which led to a decade-long estrangement between them.Despite these challenges, Alyse could understand her mother's perspective and extend grace to her. She also had to relearn the concept of love through her husband's actions, which were different from what she had experienced in the past.Key Takeaways: Trauma can have a lasting impact on a person's life and development, and it's essential to recognize and address this impact to heal. Anger can be a powerful and useful emotion when harnessed properly rather than suppressed. Love can take many different forms, and it's important to recognize and appreciate how people show love through their actions. Alyse's journey from a difficult childhood to success in the corporate world led her to found RedefinED Advisors LLC, a strategic development partner for non-public and private schools. Through the Triumph Over Tragedy Scholarship Award, Alyse continues her lifelong mission of helping underprivileged children achieve their full potential by providing additional scholarships to students who have demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity.Visit http://www.redefiningeducation.org/ to learn more about RedefinED Advisors LLC and the Triumph Over Tragedy Scholarship Award.Subscribe to "The Life Shift" on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.

On September 1, 1989, when I was just eight years old, my mother was killed in a motorcycle accident. As I have discussed on this show, this moment shaped not only my childhood but also my adulthood. It is also the reason The Life Shift Podcast exists. Through the Life Shift podcast, I have had the opportunity to heal parts of myself that I didn't even know were broken.In honor of my mother, Joan Gilhooly, I have dedicated September as "Super September," where I will be releasing two impactful episodes per week. I hope that listeners will find different elements of each story that resonate with them, and perhaps the show will continue growing in that way.If you have the heart space, please join me in remembering my mother on September 1st, the day she passed away 34 years ago.

In this episode of The Life Shift Podcast, guest Olivia Dreizen Howell shares her personal story of going through a divorce as a single mother with two young children."I really knew my kids deserved a life that didn't include walking on eggshells all the time. And they deserved a mother that could show up for them. I mean, Matt, I have letters I wrote to my sons apologizing for the things I had to do to survive at that time. You know, and I was so scared that something would happen to me, and they wouldn't know that I believed in them, or that I thought that they were okay to be themselves, or that they could be whoever they wanted to be.” She recounts how she met her ex-husband and how their relationship quickly progressed, leading to them moving in together and getting married. As the relationship evolved, she felt exhausted trying to be the person her ex-husband wanted her to be, and her eating issues were used against her in the relationship.Olivia describes the pivotal moment when she realized her marriage was over and felt a sense of freedom when her ex-husband said he wanted a divorce. She talks about staying in the marital residence with her children and cleaning out everything that reminded her of her marriage.

And she rattled, rattled. And when it hit the peak moment, I took this vessel and just smashed it on the stone hearth. And it went into just a bajillion pieces. And the whole room went, kuch! And my body did. It was like the message to my body, and I think others felt this too, that there would be no putting back together this thing.”Suzanne opens up about the shock and trauma of losing her partner and having to quickly sell their multimillion-dollar estate to pay off David's debts.

Robert Peterpaul, host of the "The Art of Kindness" podcast, shares his inspiring story of resilience and the power of kindness.“I remember the moment that really started to shift things was waking up that morning to go to school. When my brother said, my stomach hurts, I don't feel well, I don't feel well. I immediately thought he was faking it. I thought he was just trying to get out of class because, listen, I've hid in the basement, I've hid in closets, I've hid under the tables to not go to school. That was us. And then he kept up with it. And I still was kind of like, huh. I think my parents, too, at first maybe thought that. And then... they finally relented and said, okay, we'll take you to the doctor. And he was just in so much pain. And so I went off to school, kind of probably forgot about it. I was like, maybe jealous he was staying home, to be honest. And then when I came out of school, my parents weren't there to pick me up.”When Robert was 10 years old, his brother passed away from cancer. He emphasizes the need to be there for others and lead with kindness, understanding that everyone is going through their own struggles. His personal experience with loss and grief has taught him the power of authenticity and vulnerability and the importance of finding joy and positivity in the face of tragedy.Robert is an award-winning actor, writer, and celebrity interviewer with a passion for storytelling and spreading kindness.

Heather Taylor, writer, and director of TV and films, opens up about her personal experiences with ADHD in the corporate world. She shares how she struggled to fit in and perform while masking her symptoms, leading to exhaustion and burnout."I felt like no one listened to what I was actually saying. And in some cases, kind of reminiscent of the story of like having an indoor picnic and thinking everyone did. I also just thought the experiences in my head and the way that I viewed the world were exactly the same as everybody else. And the problem was, is that I lived and worked in a corporate environment. And so just people didn't get my creative brain and just trying to make it through the day." - Heather TaylorHeather talks about the stigma attached to ADHD and her hesitancy to seek diagnosis, but also the relief she felt when she finally understood her brain and got the support she needed.

In this episode of "The Life Shift Podcast," Kristy Olinger discusses the importance of reflecting on our habits and questioning whether they are serving us well."It's this idea that when you don't have control over your waking hours, and if any listeners have young kids, you know that you don't have control over your waking hours when they're awake, you try to take some of that control back by staying up late and, and being able to spend time the way you want to.” She shares her experience with "revenge bedtime procrastination," a habit many parents of young children can relate to. Kristy realized this habit was not serving her well and decided to establish a consistent bedtime and start journaling as strategies for successful habit change. Then, she experienced a "lightning bulb" moment and changed her habit overnight.Journaling helped her reflect on who she is and what she wants and get herself off autopilot. Kristy emphasizes that sometimes our subconscious works against us, and we must actively work to overcome bad habits. She also highlights the empowering benefits of journaling and how it can help us take ownership of our lives and make intentional choices about our habits. Overall, the episode encourages listeners to reflect on their habits, make deliberate choices, and use journaling as a tool for personal growth and empowerment.Kristy Olinger is a development consultant focused on workplace communication. Kristy helps corporate professionals to communicate better at work to make work easier through interactive workshops and 1:1 consulting.

This week on The Life Shift Podcast, MC McDonald shares her journey of overcoming trauma, navigating grief and family relationships, and finding success."I think if we can think about trauma and, and that point of healing as possible, then we can, we can enter into the healing process with a lot more hope than with this understanding that if you have trauma, that means you are somehow like marred or broken or, you know." - MC McDonald.MC grew up in a small town with a big Catholic family. After a family member’s death, MC's world turned upside down, and she struggled to cope with the loss. She had been raised to believe that emotions should be managed and felt on her own, so she had very few tools to deal with her grief.MC's old coping mechanisms worked for about six months, but then she started having intense panic attacks. The anxiety she had struggled with since childhood was breaking through, and it began to get in the way of her work. The panic attacks were happening everywhere, and she couldn't control them and didn't know what to do.After reaching out for help, she realized she needed to figure out a different way of being in the world.In this episode, MC shares her personal story of overcoming family trauma and grief. She talks about how she learned to cope with her emotions and used her experiences to help others. We'll also explore how to process trauma and grief and how to move forward. If you have ever experienced trauma or grief or are struggling to cope with difficult emotions, this episode is for you.MC McDonald, Ph.D., is a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology and philosophy of trauma. Her work focuses on thinking critically about how we understand, define, and heal from traumatic experiences. After receiving her Ph.D. at Boston University, she has published several research articles, book chapters, and two books on trauma. In addition to her academic work, McDonald has a thriving life-coaching business and has created trauma-based curricula for nonprofit organizations in New York, Virginia, and California.Follow MC McDonald on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mc.phd/ and check out her website at https://alchemycoaching.life/.Get access to ad-free episodes released two days early and bonus episodes with past guests through Patreon.https://patreon.com/thelifeshiftpodcastConnect with me:Instagram: www.instagram.com/thelifeshiftpodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/thelifeshiftpodcastYouTube: https://bit.ly/thelifeshift_youtubeTwitter: www.twitter.com/thelifeshiftpodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelifeshiftpodcastWebsite: www.thelifeshiftpodcast.com1.

She shares how her body was protecting itself by giving her migraines when she needed to rest.

She discusses the importance of self-awareness and internal stabilization to avoid extremes in diet culture. Laura also shares her successful weight loss journey without medication or surgery and the importance of changing one's relationship with food."I tried everything that I thought was healthy.

Like six months was my longest, and I lost maybe 10 pounds. And so it was frustrating. I get back into my old habits because it wasn't working and repeat later on because I let society tell me that it was my problem and I had to fix it, and I let that in." - Laura HarlessBut Laura's story is not just about weight loss.

In this episode, entrepreneur and financial expert Larry Sprung shares his journey of overcoming loss and tragedy in his family to help others. Larry's experiences taught him valuable lessons about the importance of mental health and seeking help when needed.“If you're walking down the street and there's a pebble on the ground, and you pick up the pebble, and you put it right here up against your eye. It looks like a boulder. You're never gonna get around it. But if you take that same pebble and you put it out at arm's length and then you look at it, you're like, well, it's just a pebble. I could get around that thing”Larry's mother's battle with cancer instilled a level of fight and battle in him. He also shares how his brother-in-law's suicide reinforced the idea that life is short and that if we're not healthy, the outcomes could be detrimental.

In this bonus Mother's Day episode of The Life Shift Podcast, I share a small portion of a letter that my dad wrote to me. The letter reflects on the life of my mother, Joan Gilhooly, who was a kind woman with a big heart. My mother tragically passed away at the young age of 32 while on a cross-country motorcycle trip with her boyfriend. This event turned my life upside down and forced me to experience grief and loss at a young age.I reflect on how my mother's passing impacted my life and how it led me to seek out mother figures in my life. The most significant mother figure in my life was my grandmother, who I became very close to after my mother's passing. I share how my grandmother, born in 1933, had a difficult childhood where she lost her mother at the age of two. She understood what it was like for a child to grow up without a mother and wanted to make sure that I didn't have to go through the same thing. We spent a lot of time together, went on trips, and had a very special relationship.I also talk about how I was able to say goodbye to my grandmother before she passed away. I share how I forced a conversation with her in which we said everything that we ever needed to say to each other. I left that conversation knowing that there was nothing left unsaid and that I was at peace with our relationship. When my grandmother passed away, I was by her side, and although it was devastating, I felt a calmness to it. I knew that she believed she was going to heaven and would be reunited with my mother, who was her best friend.This episode serves as a tribute to the two women who inspired the creation of The Life Shift Podcast and, hopefully, reminds us of the importance of cherishing the relationships we have with our loved ones. My story is a reminder that even in the face of tragedy, we can find deep and meaningful connections with others that can help us through difficult times.Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!Mentioned in this episode:Thank you to Ear Worthy - Ear Worthy Independent Podcast Awardshttps://podnews.net/press-release/ear-worthy-awards-2024This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy Mentioned in this episode:Available Now: "still HERE: True Stories of the Moments That Changed Everything"This episode is brought to you by *still HERE: True Stories of the Moments That Changed Everything* by Matt Gilhooly.

In this episode of The Life Shift Podcast, Matt LeBris shares his journey of chasing external success, the attention that comes with it, and how he shifted his focus to internal growth."The chase was all about the attention, right? Because I have been programmed over the course of my life too. Get attention through achievement, get love through achievement. So it's not the worst thing in the world because it led me to achieve a lot. So I'm not gonna sit here and say that it was like, you know, I'm a victim to this. It led me to achieve a lot, but it took me some time to realize what was actually happening."Matt recounts a moment in his life when he surprised himself by winning a startup competition and how he felt a sense of euphoric bliss—this moment served as a reminder to him about the importance of recognizing and savoring personal victories. The conversation also delves into the power of being curious and open in conversations. Matt talks about the evolution of his podcast, Decoding Success, and how he has learned to approach conversations with a sense of curiosity.Overall, this episode is an inspiring reminder to turn inward and prioritize personal growth as Matt shares the story of how a moment in therapy opened his eyes to how he was in a toxic relationship.

TRIGGER WARNING: This ep contains talk of childhood and adult abuse. In her recent book, Wiley Davis shares her powerful journey of self-discovery. Growing up as a secret atheist in a Presbyterian household, she found solace in horse riding with her friends as she navigated life. But it was leaving an abusive marriage that truly tested her strength."I started sort of standing up to my ex-husband like, well I'm not gonna do this, and I call it like burning the white flag. The white flag is like 'I surrender' whatever it is that you want, like no, I'm gonna light that, I'm gonna douse it in gasoline and I'm gonna light it on fire because I will not surrender. I've got too much life left in me. I've got too much fight left in me."Chapters:00:10:55 Exploring the Impact of Childhood Trauma on Adult Decisions00:17:55 The Last Straw: Examining the Impact of Sacrificing One's Soul for A MarriageWiley's story is a testament to the power of standing up for oneself and making decisions that are true to who you are, even in the face of adversity.Raised in North Carolina, Wiley Davis learned how to navigate life as a secret atheist daughter of a minister.
