Is the world really holding you back—or is it the way you see yourself? In this episode, we dive into the powerful (and often overlooked) connection between your self-concept and your sense of self-determination. Loree makes the case that what most people see as “external barriers” are often just mental mirages—and that confidence isn’t something you wait around for, it’s something you build from the inside out. We explore how your beliefs about who you are shape what you think you’re capable of, why your inner voice might need a promotion, and practical ways to upgrade your self-concept so you can start steering your life with purpose, not fear. If you’ve ever said “I can’t because…”—this one’s for you.

When truth becomes taboo, clarity becomes collateral damage. 👉 Listen in as we unpack how softening language can silence what needs to be said. Because if we can’t even name things accurately — how can we possibly face reality or solve anything with clarity and truth?

Exploring the power of words and how they can be manipulated to conform to certain agendas. It’s crucial to understand the true meanings behind the words we hear and use.

Are we losing our grip on truth... one euphemism at a time? In this episode, we’re digging into the quiet — and sometimes not-so-quiet — trend of manipulating language to fit a narrative, avoid offense, or dodge censorship. From swapping “rape” for “grape,” to saying someone was “unalived” instead of murdered, this wordplay might seem harmless… but it has ripple effects. Big ones. We’ll explore how changing the meaning of words chips away at clarity, distorts reality, and subtly reshapes how we think, feel, and communicate. Is this just linguistic evolution — or are we slowly un-speaking the truth? Whether you're a parent, a coach, an educator, or just someone who loves honest conversation, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about why words matter more than ever —and what’s really at stake when we start rewriting them.

It takes a village... or does it? In episode 174 of We're Talking Shift, Lauren and I talk about why adults today say they feel isolated--and when it's okay to ask for help. 📺: https://youtu.be/qIR8e6G6OH0?si=SjvEE-aUKeX_gbUY 🎧: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-174-asking-for-help-because-crying-in-the/id1533086454?i=1000702677675

It takes a village to raise a child... or does it? In this episode, Loree and Lauren look into the chaotic world of modern parenting, where networking feels impossible, and isolation is just part of the gig. They chat about the struggle of asking for help (because who doesn’t love pretending they’ve got it all together?), and how grandparents fit into the equation, no matter where they may be geographically. The duo also tackles the role of technology in making family bonds stronger (or just sending your kids into a YouTube rabbit hole for hours), and the ever-elusive balance of power between parents and schools. Loree and Lauren remind us that it’s okay to question the rules—even your own. By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to take on parenting (maybe) with a village of support or at least a group text chain that kind of counts as a community. Get ready for some real talk about the messiness of raising kids, finding your people, and learning that asking for help is not a sign of weakness—unless you're asking your toddler to help clean up their toys. In that case, good luck!

In this episode, Loree and Lauren tackle the ultimate parenting puzzle: how to raise kids in a world where TikTok dances, Snapchat streaks, and Instagram filters reign supreme. Unpack the impact of social media on kids' mental health, especially the younger generations who might be more "screen time" than "playground time" these days. And yes, they’ll chat about the proposed laws on regulating kids’ access to social media — because, apparently, there’s a lot of adults trying to figure out what’s best for our kids. Loree and Lauren also emphasize the importance of good ol’ fashioned parenting: setting screen-time boundaries, teaching kids to see through the filter (literally), and making sure they still spend time outside — you know, where the Wi-Fi doesn’t reach. They dive into the rising anxiety among teens and how parents can step up, be proactive, and remind their kids that, yes, life outside the screen can still be pretty great. So, if you’ve ever wondered if your kid knows more about social media than you (they do) or if you’re stressing over how to balance screen time with outdoor play (you should), this episode is for you.
