Money stress and career burnout often feel like the same thing but they’re not. In this episode of Making the Shift, I break down the tangled overlap between financial pressure and work exhaustion, and shows you how to finally tell the difference.

We talk about:
• The key signs of money stress vs. burnout
• How to use the “split screen” exercise to separate the two
• A simple 3-step method to Stabilize, Simplify, and Shift
• Why clarity is your biggest advantage when life feels overwhelming

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is it my job draining me, or my finances?”, this episode will give you the clarity you’ve been missing, and the tools to take back control. Tune in, reflect, and start shifting.

If you’re feeling stuck or standing at a crossroads, this episode will help you move from recognition to action.

You don’t always need a breakdown to know something needs to change. Sometimes, awareness whispers.

In this episode of Making the Shift, Blessing explores the first step in any transformation: awareness. Through personal stories, quiet reflections, and the powerful ADKAR framework, she helps you recognise those subtle wake-up calls life sends when you’ve outgrown something.

Whether you’re feeling off at work, restless in a relationship, or simply disconnected from your own life… this episode will help you understand why that discomfort might be the beginning of something new.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” this one’s for you.

“By this age, I thought I’d be somewhere else entirely.” If that thought has ever crossed your mind, you’re not alone. 

This episode of Making the Shift explores the quiet grief of not becoming who you thought you’d be by now, and why letting go of those old timelines isn’t giving up, but choosing to be fully present. I share stories, science-backed approaches, and practical tools to help you release comparison and step into your most capable, imaginative self.

Not all goodbyes are loud. Sometimes, friendships fade quietly, not from betrayal or conflict, but from the slow drift of misalignment. In this episode of Making the Shift, I explore the often unspoken grief of outgrowing a friendship.

You’ll hear:

• Why this type of loss feels confusing and hard to name
• The subtle signs that a connection may no longer align with who you are becoming
• Gentle ways to grieve, release, and realign without shame or guilt
• How to hold space for gratitude while letting go

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Did I change too much, or did we just grow apart?” this conversation will help you find clarity, peace, and courage to honor both what was and what is next.

We’ve all done it! We've told ourselves little lies to stay comfortable: “I work better under pressure,” “I’ll stop when I want to,” or “This is just who I am.” These mistruths feel safe, but over time they trap us in unhealthy patterns.

In this episode of Making the Shift, we explore why we hold onto these excuses, how they quietly shape our future, and what it really takes to break free. You’ll learn how to swap self-bashing for self-compassion, replace false stories with honesty, and take small actions that actually stick.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why we defend bad habits with mistruths
• The hidden emotional “rewards” that keep us stuck
• The long-term cost of daily excuses
• Why shame doesn’t spark real change
• A simple 3-step tool to start living in truth today

You start the day focused. But then… chaos. A sick child, crashed Wi-Fi, or an urgent work crisis. Suddenly, your to-do list doesn’t matter anymore.

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Making the Shift, I talk about how adaptability, not control, is the real key to sustainable productivity. You’ll learn how to use a 3-step mental model called The Adaptivity Loop to respond calmly and effectively when your plans fall apart.

Because life is unpredictable. But your ability to adapt? That’s the power that keeps you moving forward.
