53: SHIFT Rx | Lonely While Healing? Good. You're Doing It Right

from SHIFT Talking™

You’re doing the work. You’re growing. You’re unlearning. And it’s lonely as fuck. In this week’s SHIFT Rx, Davina gets all the way real about what no one tells you: personal development costs connection—and you have to do it anyway. From losing friendships to questioning your identity, the truth is that becoming who you’re meant to be is a death and a rebirth. And yes, grief is part of the process. This one’s for the people mid-shift: misunderstood, second-guessing, and wondering if it’s worth it. It is. This is your reminder to choose you—especially when no one else does. 00:29 – Loneliness is the cost of entry into real growth 01:05 – Why personal development often feels like abandonment 02:39 – You’ll lose people—but you’ll finally find you 03:48 – People will judge. Your job is to do it anyway 05:08 – Parenting from your actual self (not your wounded one) 07:20 – You don’t need their certainty to validate your shift 08:52 – It’s okay to doubt. Just don’t let that stop you 09:45 – If you’re not proud of you yet, I am 11:39 – Being home in yourself is the cure for the loneliness 💊 This is your SHIFT Rx. Take it with solitude, self-trust, and the reminder that loneliness isn’t proof you’re wrong—it’s proof you’re different now. ⚡ Ready to shift?

Let's do some people watching. meganjrobinson.substack.com The Future Of Work Collective Podcast Lucy Mundy Work isn't working anymore. The dissatisfaction people felt with the modern workplace was exacerbated by the pandemic, and nobody wants to be worse off after enjoying new freedoms and flexibilities. But bosses want people back in the office. Workers are striking for fairer conditions. Trust in staff is at an all time low. Economic pressures are in danger of pushing diversity, equity, and inclusion down the employment agenda. Bullying and stress are rife. We can't carry on like this. We need your help. Whether you're a cashier in Blackburn, an HR manager in Thurrock, or a farmer on Shetland - we need to listen to everyone about what the future of work should look like. This is a collective of people from different backgrounds, some of whom are experts in talking about work, and all of whom care about finding positive solutions. On our podcast, we discuss how we take action now to make work better for everyone.
