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!
