Marriage doesn’t stay the same and it’s not supposed to. In this episode of The Shifted Podcast, Amira sits down with her husband, Sam, to talk honestly about what it takes to grow separately and still stay together after thirty years of marriage.

From meeting in 1992, marrying in 1994, raising three kids, and walking through health struggles, belief differences, and hard relationship challenges, Amira and Sam share how boundaries and self-respect reshaped their connection.

This conversation explores:

• How to grow as individuals without drifting apart
  

• Why boundaries create more intimacy, not less
  

• The role of self-respect in long-term marriage
  

• Navigating marriage challenges and change in midlife
  

• A candid Q&A where Sam and Amira ask each other questions they’ve never said out loud
  

If you’ve ever wondered if marriage can survive growth, reinvention, and tough choices, this episode will give you hope and practical perspective.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why long-term relationships require evolution
  

• How Gen X women are redefining marriage in midlife
  

• The difference between “empowerment” and true self-respect
  

• Practical examples of setting boundaries with your partner
  

• How to rebuild connection after hard years in marriage

Grief doesn’t come with a rulebook and it certainly doesn’t owe anyone an explanation. In this episode, I dive into the messy, deeply personal reality of grieving in midlife and the boundaries we often forget we’re allowed to set.

From the quiet ache of friendships fading, kids growing up, bodies changing, and parents aging, to the gut-punch of losing a beloved pet, I’m sharing how grief shows up in ways both obvious and invisible and why honoring your own style of healing matters.

Whether you need solitude and silence or constant check-ins and connection, your way of grieving is valid. The right people will honor your boundaries, not question them.

In this episode we cover:

• Why you don’t owe anyone a “front row seat” to your grief

• The difference between functioning and actually thriving

• How cultural pressure to “share everything” can erase your true needs

• What real support looks like (and what it doesn’t)

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Hopkins, nurse practitioner and founder of Mindful Medicine, for a candid, information-packed deep dive into perimenopause and menopause topics too many women face alone. We explore why these life stages are still under-discussed, the surprising and often-misdiagnosed symptoms, and how women can better advocate for their health.

Dr. Jen breaks down the neuroendocrine pathway, explains how interconnected our hormones really are, and shares why a cookie-cutter approach to treatment fails so many women. She unpacks the benefits of integrative medicine, bioidentical hormones, red light therapy, and inhaled hydrogen therapy.

From beef-jerky tissue analogies to grounding barefoot in the grass, this conversation blends science, humor, and practical takeaways helping women understand their bodies, reclaim their vitality, and know they’re not alone on the road through midlife shifts.

In this episode we cover:

• Why perimenopause and menopause remain misunderstood and too often dismissed in traditional medicine

• Common but overlooked symptoms that can lead to years of misdiagnosis

• The mind-body connection: why grounding, breathwork, and stress reduction matter

• Practical ways to advocate for yourself in medical settings

In this episode of The Shifted podcast, I sit down with master resilience coach, transformation expert, and U.S. Army officer Coach Courtni Clay to get honest about something we all face but rarely talk about: friendship shifts.

We talk about the grief of losing longtime friends, how being “done” can be a healthy boundary, and why growth sometimes means moving on without closure.

Whether you're navigating a friendship breakup or just feeling a shift in your circle, this episode is your permission slip to honor what was and fiercely protect who you’re becoming.

In this episode we cover:

• Why friendship in your 40s and 50s hits different and why fewer, deeper connections matter more than ever

• The gut-punch of outgrowing friendships and the disappointment (not drama) that comes with it

• How to protect your peace, trust your gut, and stop being Captain Save-A-Friend

• Spotting transactional relationships disguised as connection and knowing when to let go with grace

Welcome to the very first episode of The Shifted Podcast. I’m your host, Amira Davis—a 51-year-old mother, wife, coach, and human-in-progress. I’m getting real about what it means to navigate life when everything feels like it's changing and nobody gave you the rulebook.

This isn’t a podcast for perfection. It’s a space for truth.

In this raw and personal solo kickoff, I share my story, from being a woman constantly showing up for everyone else, to finally asking herself, “What do I need?”

In this episode we cover:

• The slow unraveling of feeling “off” in your own body

• The reality of dissociation and watching your life from the outside while silently disappearing from it

• The truth about not recognizing yourself anymore and choosing to reclaim that version of you

• How tools like journaling, meditation, vagus nerve work, and binaural beats can help you reconnect with your mind and body.
