Since the beginning of 2025, one word has kept showing up for me.
In my meditations.
In conversations.
In quiet moments of reflection.
The word? Shift.
At first, I thought it was just another motivational buzzword — like “pivot” or “transform.” But because I’ve always been fascinated with the roots of language (and how words often carry wisdom beyond the surface), I decided to dig deeper.
And what I discovered made me realize: this word is exactly the right one for what I help people do.
What Does “Shift” Really Mean? (A Look Back in Time)
The word “shift” goes back to Old English, where it was written as sciftan (or scyftan).
It originally meant:
- to arrange, divide, or order something,
- to change clothes,
- or to move or change position.
Its deeper root, from Proto-Germanic “skif-,” literally meant to cut, split, or divide. It’s even connected to the word “ship,” because ships were once carved — cut — from wood.
By the time “shift” showed up in Middle English (1100s–1400s), the meaning had expanded:
- to change or exchange something (like clothing or roles),
- to move aside or rearrange,
- to manage or adapt (“shifting for oneself”),
- or to change direction, plan, or strategy.
At its core, “shift” has always meant movement, transition, and the courage to shed one layer so you can step into another.
Why This Word Resonated So Deeply
When I read all of this, something clicked.
It’s not just a nice word — it’s the essence of what transformation really is:
- Moving from one state to another.
- Shedding what no longer serves us (like old layers of identity or habits).
- Realigning to something new, even if it feels uncertain at first.
And while so many programs and coaching methods talk about “healing” or “change,” very few actually capture the dynamic, layered movement that happens when you step into true growth.
But “shift” does.
It’s not just a moment. It’s a process — a series of realignments, releases, and renewals.
The Birth of My SHIFT Programs
From this discovery, my SHIFT programs were born.
Not just as a catchy name, but as a process that embodies the very essence of the word: moving, shedding, and stepping into something new.
And yes — I even use SHIFT as an acronym within the program to guide my clients through the deeper steps of their transformation (more on that when we talk about the program in detail).
Because every layer of healing — Spirit, Mind, and Body — involves a shift.
Sometimes it’s subtle.
Sometimes it feels like a total shedding.
But every time, it moves you closer to a life that feels lighter, freer, and aligned with who you really are.
Why a Shift Might Be Exactly What You Need
If you’ve been feeling:
- Stuck in old patterns or relationships,
- Tired of “talking about change” without seeing results,
- Or just deeply aware that something in you (or your life) needs to move…
Then chances are, it’s time for a shift.
Not a quick fix.
Not another “motivation high” that fades in a week.
But a guided, supported process to help you realign, release, and step into something new — without getting lost or overwhelmed in the process.
