Episodes
Dear younger me... you weren't the problem every time a friendship ended. You didn't have to say yes to everything. And you couldn't force someone to become the person you needed them to be. In this episode, Mimi and Olgah reflect on the lessons their 20s have taught them about friendships, family expectations, people-pleasing, love, emotional maturity and faith. They open up about friendship breakups, the pressure of being the dependable daughter, struggling to express emotions, mistaking love bombing for love and learning when to stop trying to change people. It's an honest conversation about the things we wish we'd known sooner, the versions of ourselves we've outgrown and the grace we need while we're still figuring life out. A question to sit with: What would you tell the younger version of yourself? Follow Shifted on your listening platform so you don't miss the next conversation. Come as you are. Leave Shifted. 🤍
I Thought My Life Would Look Different By 27… What happens when you reach an age you once had so many expectations for, only to realise your life looks completely different? In this birthday episode of Shifted The Pod, Mimi and Olgah reflect on growing older, changing perspectives and learning to appreciate the life they're living rather than the one they imagined. Olgah shares why she celebrated her birthday at a prayer retreat, how worship and serving others filled her spiritually, and why birthdays can bring both joy and sadness, especially when you're missing your parents. The girls also revisit their younger selves, from teenage dreams of marriage and motherhood to moving to London, past relationships, personal growth and unlearning the things they once believed were normal. It's a conversation about God's timing, gratitude, identity and the beauty of becoming. Because sometimes the greatest blessing isn't getting the life you planned. It's realising how much you've grown along the way. What shifted you? 🤍
Would you move in with your boyfriend before marriage? And how much influence should your friends or spiritual leaders have over the decisions you make? In this dilemma episode of Shifted The Pod, Mimi and Olgah explore the complicated space between personal conviction, biblical boundaries and the expectations of others. From navigating temptation and the rising cost of living to friendships where accountability starts to feel like judgement, the girls unpack what it means to develop a genuine relationship with God rather than simply following someone else's rules. They also discuss spiritual leadership, submission and the importance of asking questions as we grow in faith. When does guidance become control? And how do you know whether a conviction is truly your own? Join the conversation and let us know what shifted you. 🤍
What happens when you love God, but struggle to spend time with Him? This week on Shifted The Pod, Mimi and Olgah get honest about spiritual resistance, inconsistency, comparison and the pressure to have a perfect relationship with God. Mimi shares how struggling with time management made her feel distant from God, and why she's learning to invite Him into her everyday life instead of relying solely on a routine. Olgah opens up about comparing her prayer life to others and feeling like she wasn't doing enough. Together, they explore prayer as a conversation rather than a performance, why reading the Bible can feel difficult, the fear of questioning God, and how to navigate doubt without losing sight of His Word. Because getting closer to God isn't about pretending to have it all together. It's about showing up as you are. What shifted you? 🤍
The Devil Has No Authority In this Story time episode, Olgah shares a story from a hotel stay that changed the way she understood spiritual warfare, prayer and the authority we have as believers. From sleep paralysis and calling on the name of Jesus, to declaring who she is and whose she is, Olgah reflects on what happens when we realise the spiritual realm is real but also that darkness does not have the final say. Mimi and Olgah discuss spiritual sensitivity, recognising the enemy's tactics, intercession, praying over your home and food, and why there is nothing embarrassing about being the person who prays. But most importantly, they explore why Christians shouldn't become consumed by darkness. Our focus isn't the demonic. Our focus is Jesus. Because darkness cannot overwhelm light.
What does money mean to you? For some, it's freedom. For others, it's safe. Sometimes it becomes identity, security , even lordship. In this episode, Mimi & Olgah unpack their relationship with money and how their different upbringings shaped the way they trust, spend, save and give, they talk about: - their poorest and richest moments - financial mistakes - taking loans for holidays and gifts - growing up around hardship - the moments where God provided when they had nothing. They also explore Matthew 6, the false security money can offer and the challenge of choosing to trust God when money feels like the thing that will keep you safe. What happens when we realise money was never meant to be our security? Welcome back to Shifted. 🤍
Season 2 starts with a catch-up , but there's a lot more to catch up on than Mimi and Olgah expected. During their break, both girls experienced friendship changes, personal struggles and moments that forced them to confront things they hadn't fully dealt with. They open up about how reactions to Season 1 triggered childhood insecurities, the pressure they felt to appear like “perfect Christians”, and what it's like navigating a friendship and a podcast while being at different stages in their walks with God. They also ask a bigger question: What if, before God restores something, He first reveals what needs to change? From humility and biblical knowledge to finding churches rooted in Scripture, Mimi and Olgah return for Season 2 with less pressure to have all the answers and a willingness to let Shifted continue shifting them too. Welcome back to Shifted. 🤍

Does God really love me fully even when I’m messy? In this episode of Shifted, Mimi & Olgah get honest about unconditional love: how God became the Provider when Olgah needed provision, and how grace renamed them from “sinner/dirty” to daughter.
