  • Letting Go Of Who You Thought You Had To Be

    Letting Go Of Who You Thought You Had To Be
    Nov 3 2025
    In this first episode of The Thought Shift Podcast, Debbie and Nicola open up the conversation on what it really means to let go of who you thought you had to be. We talk about the invisible pressures to have it all figured out, the identity shifts that come with motherhood and growth, and the uncomfortable truth that clarity rarely comes before action. This isn’t another pep talk or productivity hack. It’s an invitation to pause — to notice the beliefs and expectations that have been running the show and gently ask, Do they still fit? Through honest reflection, stories from our own messy middles, and a look at the psychology behind overthinking and uncertainty, we explore: The myth that we need perfect clarity before we can act Why our minds crave control, and how to build tolerance for not knowing How fear and doubt often show up as “pressure to get it right” The power of taking one small step without needing the outcome guaranteed Our Woo or Wow? segment asks: is “trusting the universe” actually grounded in science or just a spiritual buzzword? You might be surprised at what we find. This episode is for the woman who’s tired of holding it all together, yet still feels the pull to evolve — the one standing on the edge of change, unsure what’s next, but ready to feel like herself again. If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, this is your reminder: you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.

    Letting Go of the Pressure to Have It All Figured Out
    Nov 17 2025
    In this second episode of The Thought Shift Podcast, Debbie and Nicola sit with a familiar pull: the pressure to have it all figured out before you move. We talk about why waiting for perfect clarity keeps you stuck, and how clarity is usually created by action you take while things are still imperfect. You will hear personal moments from our own changes, what helped us trust the process with zero guarantees, and a simple check-in you can use today to steady yourself and choose your next step. What we explore The expectation to have a plan, proof and a perfect moment before you begin Why certainty rarely comes first, and how small actions create the clarity you want Listening to your own intuition when your mind is busy gathering more research and control The inner “characters” at your table and how to spot which one is leading in the moment, and invite your highest potential self to take the seat Want more from The Thought Shift?
