Sean Loots Something Shifted with Sean Loots

What is Something Shifted about?

Loading player...
Something Shifted explores what we call lifequakes - those unpredictable seismic shifts that in time lead to profound personal growth and empowerment. We all have them, so on this podcast, we lean in when things are complicated.

On Something Shifted we believe in the power of great stories and in the power of possibility.

That’s why we ask some of South Africa's most interesting people to share how significant life shifts - that might be perceived as devastating - can lead to personal growth.

Something Shifted leans into the joy and discomfort of unexpected change and tries to answer the question
of what it takes to bounce back and find a new path.

And I think you’re gonna like it here.
