About this listen

Welcome to The Inner Shift Podcast—where we get real about women’s mental health. If you’re juggling caregiving, work, family, burnout, and that voice in your head screaming, “WTF is happening?!”—you’re in the right place. This isn’t fluffy self-care. We talk anxiety, burnout, and meltdowns in grocery store aisles while doing too much. Expect raw conversations, expert insights, and zero BS. It’s time to stop pretending we have it all together. Grab coffee (or wine), take a deep breath, and let’s figure this out together.Kimothy Walker / Amy Friesen

  • It’s Often Called the Biggest Taboo Subject Left. Our Guest is a Survivor of Sibling Sexual Assault and a World Leader on the Topic.
    Jun 17 2025

    Nancy Morris is truly a pioneer…a champion for one of the most difficult subjects we have yet to discuss on the podcast…sibling sexual assault.

    The founder of #SiblingsToo is, herself, a survivor of sibling sexual assault.

    You might expect her to be outraged, livid….and wanting to exact revenge. Far from it. She spoke to us about understanding that we don’t tell children about what is or is, definitely not, acceptable behavior in the home.

    Around the world she has opened the door on this challenging subject and found out how shockingly common it is…. and how deeply people, often parents, push it into the dark closet.

    Kimothy, herself a survivor of sexual assault at 8 years old by a friend’s adult brother (the friend claimed he also did it to her) speaks to that fine line….as to what is childhood behavior and what is predatory and absolutely a crime.

    And where the Hell do you start to heal? Who can you speak with… particularly, when people don’t want to talk about such a tough subject.

    So here we are…talking the sh#t out of sh#t

  • Mental Health Impacts More Young Women, Statistically in Canada, than Other Age Groups. We Speak with One
    Jun 10 2025

    Well, if you were ever afraid for the younger generation, this show might give you faith.

    Meghan Strauss recently graduated from the University of Ottawa Health Sciences program and is about to enter naturopathic medicine.

    While she speaks openly about mental health in her age group, Amy and Kimothy found her to be one of the most enlightened people we’ve ever spoken with.

    That’s not to say her age group isn’t struggling. It is. But, her insight blew us away.

    In a time when our grandparents never spoke about such things, her age group is throwing a light into dark corners.

    Meghan gives TheInnerShiftPodcast the youth voice we so need in these challenging times. And we’re delighted to have her as a regular on the show.
