58: Happy Birthday to The Life Shift Podcast!

1
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:03,700
One of the things I love about
podcasting is the community

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,600
since shelling, I launched on
Tether your life about a year

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,500
ago.
I've had so many incredible

4
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:10,700
conversations who form
connections with some of the

5
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:13,800
most compassionate thoughtful
and creative change makers out

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,000
there.
This is especially true of the

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,900
incredible community of
podcasters with who I had become

8
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:21,000
fast friends and big fans of
their shows.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
One of these folks has Matt
guiltily, host of the life shift

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,300
podcast candid conversations
with people about the pivotal

11
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:30,600
moments that changed their lives
forever.

12
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:33,800
He's a natural Storyteller.
Who's extremely Adept at getting

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,700
his guests to be vulnerable and
engage them in Intimate

14
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:38,300
dialogues.
If they've been friends for

15
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:39,800
years.
It's amazing.

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,600
That Matt's only been doing this
for a year as a caliber of his

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,400
show.
In terms of content sound,

18
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,200
quality and flow is on par with
that of NPR wonder--i or some

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,900
other huge studio.

20
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:53,900

anniversary of the life shift.
Here's a quick bit format.

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Discussing the show, along with
a highlight reel, featuring some

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,700
incredible guest and it
surprised me.

28
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,400
That's the thing.
That's the thing.

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,200
She just needed a big hug and to
know she wasn't alone.

30
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:24,200
This is the life.
Podcast, I'm Matt Gilhooly and

31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,000
on the life shift, I have candid
conversations with people about

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,900
the pivotal moments that have
changed their lives forever.

33
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,800
I would literally just say, I
love you, those words alone

34
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,300
would probably make my younger
self.

35
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:37,900
Like, look at me, like, I'm
crazy.

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,200
I would just say I love you.
You know, I love you, man.

37
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,200
That's it.
As simple as that.

38
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,700
Straight-up honest with you, I
would tell past Christina, cut

39
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:48,300
your hair, do whatever you want
to do to your body.

40
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:52,300
It does not matter because it is
your Body.

41
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,400
It does not impact anyone else
and you will still be the person

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,100
you want to be.
We all have our stories, but

43
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:02,800
through these conversations, we
discover communities.

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,300
We learned that there are
commonalities through the ups

45
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:08,699
and downs that we all face.
But most importantly, we learn

46
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:11,700
that we're not alone.
I didn't know that I deserved

47
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:13,500
it.
I didn't know that.

48
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:17,100
I could have better.
I didn't know that I was worth

49
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:18,900
more.
That's such an important point.

50
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,100
That being in a place where I
was Low.

51
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,300
Just no other way to put it very
low depressed.

52
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:26,200
And that six-month period.
I would say that.

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,300
Now, as a result of being in
that place, I'm able to be a

54
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:33,800
little more empathetic and
understanding when someone comes

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,100
to the table and they're a
little bit down.

56
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,900
I feel like girl, just buy some
hair, stick it on your head and

57
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:43,100
rock it.
You're going to be awesome, no

58
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:47,200
matter, no matter how you look.
No matter if you have one strand

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,500
of hair on your head or a big
thick head of hair, it doesn't

60
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:52,900
matter the life.
Shift podcast, highlights

61
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:56,400
life-altering moments and
humanizes the struggles and the

62
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,200
triumphs through them all.
And I can tell you that at the

63
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,400
end of the day, when something
is hard on us at the station,

64
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,000
we're all different people but
we sit down as one and we look

65
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,900
at each other and we cry and we
laugh and we go through whatever

66
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,200
emotion we have to go through to
get through the calls that we

67
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,900
had to see because we realize
the importance.

68
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:20,200
We tend to get attached to the
worst version of ourselves

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,100
because it's comfortable.
And we do have a best version of

70
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:27,500
ourselves that is available for
us if we do the work.

71
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,000
So I would say that to her
you're going to be okay.

72
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,500
But don't get attached to this
bad version of yourself.

73
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:37,200

You're very kind to the Past

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,000
versions of people understanding
that, you know, that was what

77
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,900
you knew at the time that took
me a long time to come to that

78
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:51,600
awareness and to not be mad at
that version.

79
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:52,200
Of me.
Of me.
