In an almost documentary-style narrative, Something Shifted explores identity cracks, recalibration, and small but profound shifts that shape a new life. Alongside these conversations, Sean reflects on his own journey raising a child with special needs.These aren’t stories about bouncing back. They’re about growth in the middle of chaos and meeting the person you became when life changed the plan.Something Shifted brings human back and helps you feel a little less lonely along the way. Award-winning episodes that create genuine connection and remind you: you are not alone.

Reviews

Real and authentic goodness!!
Sean explores meaningful topics with depth and sincerity, offering insights that the world could truly use more of!
The Podcast You Need!
Something Shifted is an incredibly important podcast! Sean expertly creates an atmosphere that “feels” open and safe - and both Sean and his guests offer this incredible vulnerability - and I tend to cry at least once throughout each listen. Not because it’s ‘sad’ - but it’s just open, honest, beautiful conversations that move you - that shift something in you. It’s a really beautiful, important show. Thank you, Sean!
Instantly HOOKED!
Sean, just thank you for sharing. The way that you capture and deliver deeply authentic stories. Just Wow!
