Welcome to Shift with Beth | How a Podcast Changed My Life
from Shift With Beth · host Beth Schild
Have you ever had a moment where you realized the life you were living wasn’t actually yours? In this debut episode of Shift with Beth, I’m sharing the raw, honest story of how I found my own voice after decades of self-silencing. For years, I lived a life defined by a high-demand religion, a 20-year marriage, and the constant pressure to be “good” and “easy-going.” But everything changed in the most unexpected place: at the gym, with a pair of headphones on. How a Podcast Became My Lifeline In this episode, I share the “lightning bolt” moment I experienced while listening to a podcast. It was the first time I felt truly seen by a stranger’s voice. That moment sparked a series of intentional shifts that led me away from religious dogma and toward somatic healing, self-love, and eventually, the creation of this show. What Does it Mean to “Shift”? We often think that change has to be explosive or overnight. But a shift is different. A shift is an intentional, slight adjustment in perspective or physiology that changes your entire trajectory. On this podcast, we will explore the shifts required to: Move out of “Survival Mode” and into a regulated nervous system. Stop the cycle of self-abandonment and people-pleasing. Navigate the messy middle of life’s biggest transitions—like divorce and faith crises. Use tools like Somatic Breathwork to heal the body from the inside out. What to Expect in Future Episodes This isn’t just a podcast about theory; it’s about practice. Moving forward, we will dive into: Somatic Tools: Practical ways to regulate your stress in real-time. Expert Interviews: Conversations with leaders in psychology, parenting, and wellness. Candid Solo Deep-Dives: Sharing the lessons I’m learning in real-time as a mother, coach, and woman in transition. “Change is inevitable, but a shift is intentional. I’m here to help you make the shifts that bring you back home to yourself.” — Beth Schild
