Something Shifted with Sean Loots

There’s a moment where your life splits in two. Before, and after.
Before the diagnosis. Before the loss. Before everything changed.
And the life that came after, whether you were ready or not.
But who are you when the life you planned no longer fits?

Something Shifted is about identity after interruption, the quiet, often unseen aftermath of a lifequake that fractures who you thought you were.

Hosted by South African broadcaster Sean Loots, the podcast shares raw, deeply human stories that don’t make the highlights reel.

In an almost documentary-style narrative, Something Shifted explores identity cracks, recalibration, and small but profound shifts that shape a new life. Alongside these conversations, Sean reflects on his own journey raising a child with special needs.

These aren’t stories about bouncing back.
They’re about growth in the middle of chaos and meeting the person you became when life changed the plan.

Something Shifted brings human back and helps you feel a little less lonely along the way.
