Thankful
I really enjoy your podcast. I tend to listen to mostly true crime pods which can be traumatic and sad while also so very interesting, to me.
My 21 year old son died on April 21st of 2017. He was away at college in Pittsburgh, 4 hours away from home. He fell while on his friends roof, celebrating his last final exams of his junior year. He was smart and headed for med school.
I’ve had some health issues since then, both physical and mental/emotional, due to the stress and grief.
I belong to a few different local grief groups and some of my closest friends are now other grieving mothers who all understand each other.
Your podcast is a breath of fresh air. Your genuine care and kindness for the guests you have on, despite your own challenges and grief, speaks volumes. Keep up the good work!
(I am not ready to listen to your episode about losing your dog, but hoping to at some point :)

A truly inspiring podcast
A truly inspiring podcast from Matt and his guests. His knack for empathy, and knowing when to listen instead of talking, allows guests to share their story openly and without pause. A wonderful show, highly recommended.

Life Shift Will Leave You Uplifted and Hopeful….and Even More Human
Matt’s ability to interview his guests in a way that makes them center stage, and makes you feel like you are right there in the moment, is an extraordinary skill that I hope many will experience. His productions make the difference for many. Join in and listen each week to ponder, to cry (the cleansing kind), and be affirmed that in all your humaneness….you are not alone, and there is always hope on the other side.

Inspiring but still relatable
Matt's show is a gem. I feel like I get just the right amount of inspiration yet I can still relate to the guest and pull out the empowering piece that can also shift my own life! It's the mix of his interview style and thoughtful questions that allow me to really relate to the guest.

Wow the episode with Larry Sprung is a powerful one
Wow the episode with Larry Sprung is a powerful one…. hearing about the loss of his mom at a young age and the death of his brother in law was very moving.
His desire to turn these events into action is inspiring.
I am off to listening to listen to Larry’s show the Mitlin Money Mindset for more inspiration!

An amazing time
I was featured on the podcast. I want to start off by saying telling my story is hard. I don't talk often about the grief and loss surrounding my brother. Myself and my story was treated with respect and gentle curiosity that made me feel safe and allowed me to trust Matt with the story. I hope this podcast continues to grow and continues to touch people's lives. 5 stars all the way!
Candid and insightful conversations
A must-listen if you enjoy hearing more about the people behind the story. Matt has candid conversations that hone in on pivotal life-changing moments, which is inspiring!

It's a reminder that no matter where you are in life, you have the power to create positive change and that sometimes, the most significant breakthroughs come from unexpected places.

A Truly PIVOTAL Podcast!
Matt Gilhooly, host of The Life Shift Podcast, is extremely adept at getting his guests to be vulnerable and engage them in intimate dialogue as if they've been friends for years. He's a natural storyteller, who like many podcasters fell into this journey serendipitously and then fell in love with it.
What I love most about the show is that he happily sat in "the hot seat" and allowed himself to be interviewed by one of his past guests. He talks of losing his mother at the tender young age of 8, and then his grandmother more recently - and how each catalyzed a very opposite life shift for him.
It's amazing that Matt's only been doing this for a year, as the caliber of the show (content, sound quality, flow, the whole 9) are on par with that of NPR, The New York Times, or some other huge studio.
If you're looking to make sense of this tangled bowl of spaghetti called life, with all its twists and turns, then this pivotal podcast is definitely for you.
