What is Something Shifted about?

Loading player...
Something Shifted explores what we call lifequakes - those unpredictable seismic shifts that in time lead to profound personal growth and empowerment. We all have them, so on this podcast, we lean in when things are complicated.

On Something Shifted we believe in the power of great stories and in the power of possibility.

That’s why we ask some of South Africa's most interesting people to share how significant life shifts - that might be perceived as devastating - can lead to personal growth.

Something Shifted leans into the joy and discomfort of unexpected change and tries to answer the question
of what it takes to bounce back and find a new path.

And I think you’re gonna like it here.

"Pick up your pen and write a different story."

There's a saying that you regret more the things you didn't do than the things you actually did. Verity's dad was 48 when she was born. He passed away suddenly when she was 24. When she was in her teens and didn't want to listen to his advice, he took…

"Half my face had collapsed."

If you've been listening to something shifted for a while, you've probably wondered about your own life quake. For Lesego, there are two distinct moments when the ground beneath his feet gave way. When he was fifteen, his dad passed away. And again when he was 32, when he thought…
