shift

We sit down with people to talk about the stories behind life's changes, no matter how big or small. Let's explore how shi— happens.

Guest interviews for young adults, students and professionals figuring out their own next chapter. Honest, funny, and a little bit messy, just like change.

That to This logo: two interlocking arrows forming the letter T

Two arrows, one journey.

The two arrows in our logo stand for the journey from point A to point B that's inside every shift. Two T's, pointing different ways, meeting in the middle. So, how do you go from "that" to "this"?

Stories in motion

Every episode follows one shift from start to finish: where they were, what changed, and who they are now. Then we finish with rapid-fire "this or that."

Raising yourself

What happens when you have to learn "parent" lessons on your own? A creative opens up about adulting without a guide, their first real-life moment, and finding they're now the one others lean on.

meet your host

Hi, I'm Nor.

For most of my life I measured myself against everyone else's idea of "normal." I was born with an orthopedic condition that makes my fingers and toes shorter than average. As a kid I kept wondering when I would finally feel like I belonged.

It took years, plenty of ups and downs, and more than a few breakdowns. But I learned that "normal" is just a concept, and what made me different became my strength. That was my shift. I started this podcast to hear yours.

Your worth is measured by your courage to embrace yourself: the happy you, the sad you, the imperfect you.

What's your "that to this"?

Moved across the world? Changed careers at 35? Came out, quit, started over? If you've lived through a shift worth talking about, we'd love to hear it.
