Matt Gilhooly
Matt Gilhooly is the creator and host of The Life Shift podcast, which features conversations about the pivotal moments that change lives forever. When he was eight years old, his mother died suddenly — a loss that took over twenty years to process and that, along with later losing his grandmother, shaped who he is today. A creator at heart, Matt has self-published more than ten coloring books and released a children's book, 'I Can Be Anyone: A Soul's Journey,' in 2021.

BONUS: In Memory of Joan Gilhooly & a "Super September" Life Shift Podcast Announcement
On September 1, 1989, when I was just eight years old, my mother was killed in a motorcycle accident. As I have discussed on this show, this moment shaped not only my childhood but also my adulthood. It is also the reason The Life Shift Podcast exists. Through the Life Shift podcast, I have had the opportunity to heal parts of myself that I didn't even know were broken. In honor of my mother, Joan Gilhooly, I have dedicated September as "Super September," where I will be releasing two impactful episodes per week. I hope that listeners will find different elements of each story that resonate with them, and perhaps the show will continue growing in that way.

BONUS: Celebrating the Women Who Shaped Me: A Special Mother's Day Episode
This episode serves as a tribute to the two women who inspired the creation of The Life Shift Podcast and, hopefully, reminds us of the importance of cherishing the relationships we have with our loved ones. My story is a reminder that even in the face of tragedy, we can find deep and meaningful connections with others that can help us through difficult times. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

The Dichotomy of Grief - My Story | Matt Gilhooly
In this episode, we flipped the script so I could tell my story. Throughout the first batch of episodes, the guests (and listeners) asked when I would tell my story. So, in this episode, my first guest, Christin Lindley, leads the conversation as I share the pivotal moments that shaped my life and eventually led to The Life Shift podcast.
