How Sobriety Gave Her the Life Addiction Could Never with Haelie Queen

Today, Haelie Queen is taking us inside her story. Growing up without her biological father, she met him at 18, only to face abuse. That trauma led her into addiction—Adderall, alcohol—and it nearly dismantled her life and marriage. But Haelie found a way out. Now sober, she and her husband have rebuilt everything and are helping others do the same. Let’s dive into the truth of addiction, rock bottom, and the climb back up. This is Haelie's story.   @haeliequeen RESOURCES FREE STORY METHOD GUIDE [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocb473SlcXLHNDiN3WsRPzTniTV5-A-_/view?usp=sharing]- to help you process, own and share your story   FOLLOW @alexisnandra  @shifthappensthepod

From Childhood Trauma to Dating After Divorce with Lauren

From being bullied by the same group of girls from middle school through high school… to surviving third-degree burns as a young child… Lauren knows what it feels like to walk through pain early in life and carry the weight of those experiences. And like so many women, life didn’t stop throwing curveballs. In this conversation, we talk about how those early wounds shape confidence, what it really takes to rebuild your identity after hardship, and how to move forward when your life doesn’t look the way you once imagined—including what it’s like navigating the dating world after divorce. Because the truth is, owning your story isn’t always clean or polished. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. But sometimes the very things we want to hide… are the things that end up setting us free. This is Lauren’s story.     RESOURCES FREE STORY METHOD GUIDE [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocb473SlcXLHNDiN3WsRPzTniTV5-A-_/view?usp=sharing]- to help you process, own and share your story   FOLLOW @alexisnandra  @shifthappensthepod

How to Stop Tying Your Worth to Productivity with Rich Wife co founder Kaylyn Noonan

So many of us have learned to measure our worth by how much we produce, how much we achieve, how much we can hold together. From the outside, it can look like everything is working. But internally… there’s a quiet tension. A lack of peace. A feeling that something is missing. Today’s conversation is for the woman who’s doing everything “right”— and still feels unfulfilled. I’m sitting down with Kaylyn, co-founder of Richwife, a lifestyle brand built around redefining what it truly means to be “rich.” But this isn’t just a conversation about business—this is about identity. We talk about what happens when your worth becomes tied to productivity… the moment you realize success isn’t the same as peace… and the courage it takes to set boundaries, shift your environment, and realign your life with what actually matters. If you’ve ever felt like you’re striving, achieving, checking all the boxes… but still not fully at peace—this episode is going to meet you right where you are. This is Kaylyn’s story.

What Perfectionism Taught Me About Marketing with Savannah

On today’s episode of Shift Happens I sit down with Savannah — a pastor’s kid, the oldest daughter, and someone who learned early that being “good” often meant being exceptional. Excellence wasn’t just encouraged in her world — it was expected. And over time, that striving didn’t just shape who she was personally… it shaped how she showed up professionally. That same drive for precision, performance, and getting it right helped her rise quickly in the marketing world — building a reputation for clarity, strategy, and results, and helping businesses communicate in a way that actually connects and converts. But behind the success is a deeper tension we unpack today: how her upbringing wired her for perfection, how that fueled both her growth and her burnout, and what she’s learned about showing up differently — not just in life, but in business. This is Savannahs story.  RESOURCES  FREE STORY METHOD GUIDE [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocb473SlcXLHNDiN3WsRPzTniTV5-A-_/view?usp=sharing]- to help you process, own and share your story  FOLLOW @alexisnandra [https://www.instagram.com/alexisnandra/] @shifthappensthepod [https://www.instagram.com/shifthappensthepod/] RESOURCES FREE STORY METHOD GUIDE [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocb473SlcXLHNDiN3WsRPzTniTV5-A-_/view?usp=sharing]- to help you process, own and share your story   FOLLOW @alexisnandra  @shifthappensthepod

From Immigrant Pressure to Creative Freedom with Ada

Ada moved to America from China at just seven years old. She entered the second grade without speaking English and grew up in an immigrant household where success meant stability — a secure job, a predictable path, something safe. Creativity wasn’t part of the plan. She was doing everything right but still felt felt completely disconnected from herself. So, she took a risk. Bought a camera. And built a business. This conversation is about redefining success, choosing courage over comparison, and building a creative life in the very place she once felt behind. This is Ada’s story.
