  • Episode 183 - Purpose, Spirituality, and the Work that Really Matters with Sophie von Laer
    What happens when the applause fades? When the goals are checked off but your soul still aches for something deeper?

    In this powerful conversation, Loree sits down with Sophie von Laer—founder of Strategic Maverick and a thought leader at the intersection of leadership, innovation, and inner transformation. With a PhD in Leadership and experience guiding high performers at places like Amazon and Columbia, Sophie brings a unique blend of sharp strategy and soulful inquiry.

    We explore what surfaces when the old metrics of success stop satisfying. Sophie shares her own journey from engineering and achievement to surrender and spiritual awakening. Together, we unpack the restlessness many feel after "making it," the hidden wisdom in our bodies and emotions, and why the most important work we’ll ever do can’t be measured in accolades.

    Whether you’re in the middle of a reinvention, questioning your purpose, or just sensing there’s more, this episode offers a path inward—with four powerful steps to guide the way.  If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Now what?” — this one’s for you.

  • Episode 182 - Boundaries Aren't Mean--They're Mature
    Think setting boundaries makes you selfish, cold, or "too much"? Think again.

    In this episode, we break down what boundaries really are (they're personal rules, not punishments), why they're essential for healthy relationships, and how to start setting them—even with people who've been crossing the line for years.

    Whether you're dealing with an ex, a parent, a partner, or a well-meaning friend who just won't quit, this conversation will help you stand your ground with confidence and kindness. From protecting your peace to navigating co-parenting chaos, we’re covering the tough stuff—without the guilt. Because boundaries aren’t walls... they’re doors with locks you control.

    And if someone doesn’t get it? Not today, boundary-breaker.

  • Episode 180: Masculinity Isn't Toxic--It's Missing (with Tyler Todt)
    What if the real crisis isn’t too much masculinity—but not enough of the right kind? In this bold and eye-opening episode, Loree sits down with Tyler Todt—aka @tyromper—a former poker pro turned faith-fueled coach, speaker, and family man who’s redefining what it means to be a man in today’s world.

    Tyler shares his powerful journey from chasing dopamine and money to choosing discipline, purpose, and presence. They dive into why men are struggling, how faith and fatherhood can anchor a man’s identity, and what we really need to be teaching the next generation of boys.

    Whether you’re a parent, a partner, or simply curious about the future of masculinity, this episode will challenge assumptions, spark conviction, and leave you inspired to lead with courage and conviction. It’s time we stop demonizing masculinity and start rebuilding it.

  • Episode 179 - Unconditional Love (But Don’t Push It)
    BONUS RESOURCE: Unconditional Love Workbook

    This episode is all about unpacking unconditional love—the real kind, not the fantasy
    fed to us by rom-coms and social media memes.

    Lauren throws down the tough questions:
    -Would you still love your partner if they ignored you all day?
    -What if they cheated? Or did something worse?
    -Is unconditional love even healthy in real life?
    Loree breaks it down with powerful coaching wisdom on:
    The 4 Levels of Relationship (and which one you're in right now)
    -Why most love is actually conditional—and how to level up
    -The connection between unmet needs and recurring relationship pain
    -How great spiritual leaders modeled a different kind of love—and what that looks like for
    us in real life

    This episode is equal parts deep dive and reality check. You’ll laugh, cringe, reflect, and
    maybe even re-evaluate how you love (and who you love).

  • Episode 178 - A Self-Concept Reality Check
    Is the world really holding you back—or is it the way you see yourself? In this episode, we dive into the powerful (and often overlooked) connection between your self-concept and your sense of self-determination.

    Loree makes the case that what most people see as “external barriers” are often just mental mirages—and that confidence isn’t something you wait around for, it’s something you build from the inside out.

    We explore how your beliefs about who you are shape what you think you’re capable of, why your inner voice might need a promotion, and practical ways to upgrade your self-concept so you can start steering your life with purpose, not fear.

    If you’ve ever said “I can’t because…”—this one’s for you.

  • Episode 177 - Wordcrafting: The Unaliving of Language
    Are we losing our grip on truth... one euphemism at a time?

    In this episode, we’re digging into the quiet — and sometimes not-so-quiet — trend of manipulating language to fit a narrative, avoid offense, or dodge censorship. From swapping “rape” for “grape,” to saying someone was “unalived” instead of murdered, this wordplay might seem harmless… but it has ripple effects. Big ones.

    We’ll explore how changing the meaning of words chips away at clarity, distorts reality, and subtly reshapes how we think, feel, and communicate. Is this just linguistic evolution — or are we slowly un-speaking the truth?

    Whether you're a parent, a coach, an educator, or just someone who loves honest conversation, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about why words matter more than ever —and what’s really at stake when we start rewriting them.

  • Episode 176 - To Pray or Not to Pray?
    This week, Lauren and Loree dive into the deep end of the spiritual pool — no boat, just faith, doubts, and the occasional parenting conundrum. Lauren opens up about her evolving relationship with religion and how that’s playing out with kids who are suddenly asking big questions! Right when you thought you’d mastered mealtime routines, now you’re a theologian.

    Together, Lauren and Loree walk the tightrope of teaching kids to think critically without spiraling into full-blown existentialism before puberty. No pressure, right? If you’ve ever needed a divine assist while walking the parenting path, this episode is your warm, honest, slightly snarky hug.

  • Episode 175 - Full Plates, Full Hearts
    When it comes to family meals, what exactly are you bringing to the table? Is it a balanced meal and spirited conversation? Or is it microwaved ramen and total chaos?!

    In this episode of We're Talking Shift, Loree and Lauren discuss why gathering around a meal can be one of the best things you can do for your family--and how to cook up some healthy habits as a side dish to those mealtime memories!

    In a society that stays on the go and glued to devices, Loree shares why it's important to bring your family back to the dinner table and to break bread while building bonds.

  • Episode 174 - Asking for Help (Because Crying in the Pantry isn't a Long-Term Strategy!)
    It takes a village to raise a child... or does it? In this episode, Loree and Lauren look into the chaotic world of modern parenting, where networking feels impossible, and isolation is just part of the gig. They chat about the struggle of asking for help (because who doesn’t love pretending they’ve got it all together?), and how grandparents fit into the equation, no matter where they may be geographically.

    The duo also tackles the role of technology in making family bonds stronger (or just sending your kids into a YouTube rabbit hole for hours), and the ever-elusive balance of power between parents and schools. Loree and Lauren remind us that it’s okay to question the rules—even your own. By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to take on parenting (maybe) with a village of support or at least a group text chain that kind of counts as a community. Get ready for some real talk about the messiness of raising kids, finding your people, and learning that asking for help is not a sign of weakness—unless you're asking your toddler to help clean up their toys. In that case, good luck!
