The Microshift Project Podcast
Life’s biggest changes often start with the smallest shifts. This podcast is for high-achievers who look successful from the outside yet still wrestle with pressure, doubt, and the question: “Is this all there is?”
We’re not chasing quick fixes. We’re building perseverance—through practical tools, honest stories, and real conversations that stick.
Hosted by Nick Volinchak, The Microshift Project explores the moments, choices, and interactions that quietly change the course of a life. You’ll hear from leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who’ve faced adversity and found ways forward—because change is rarely about one giant leap. It’s about the next shift you make.
What you’ll get here:
- Real strategies: Actionable insights you can use immediately.
- Lived experience: Lessons forged in setbacks, recovery, and rebuilding.
- Connection: Proof you’re not the only one carrying the weight.
- Personal roadmaps: Guidance that meets you where you are.
Episode mix:
- Solo deep-dives: Mindset, resilience, decision-making under pressure.
- Candid interviews: Guests who’ve persevered through challenges.
- Practical playbooks: Tools for navigating stress, doubt, and leadership moments.
Core themes:
- Perseverance that lasts
- Managing doubt & impostor syndrome
- Leadership that stays human
- Boundaries & sustainable ambition
- Recovery, reinvention & resilience
- Staying present in what matters most

The Microshift Project Podcast - Episode 12 - Irina Shehovsov
Welcome back to The Microshift Project Podcast — where we shine a light on the small, powerful shifts that change the course of our lives. Around here, it’s not about quick fixes. It’s about perseverance, resilience, and the everyday microshifts that build lasting transformation.
In this episode, I sit down with Irina Shehovsov — founder of Reclaim Your Life, transformational coach, and #1 International Best-Selling Author of The Gift Inside. She’s also the host of Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life with Irina, and runs the Happiness Academy YouTube channel. Her mission: to empower women to heal, believe in themselves, and create joyful, purpose-driven lives.
Together, we explore:
- Owning your story: the moment Irina realized “No one is coming to rescue me” — and chose to take responsibility for her future.
- Perseverance in practice: rebuilding life after heartbreak and the courage to not give up.
- Microshifts that matter: from morning routines and gratitude to forgiveness, language learning, and singing — the small habits that rewired her life.
- Breaking misconceptions: why you’re not broken after a toxic relationship — just buried — and how to uncover your worth.
- Finding strength at rock bottom: Irina’s rarely shared story of unworthiness and how she built a new foundation.
- Staying grounded: the practices — nature, meditation, gratitude, and music — that anchor her in hard seasons.
- Guiding principles: the wisdom of The Slight Edge, the power of generating happiness like an electric plant, and the mantra “If It’s To Be, It’s Up To Me.”
- The ultimate takeaway: your past doesn’t define your future — you have the power to reclaim happiness and create a life you love.
This conversation is about more than recovery or resilience. It’s about claiming your agency, rewriting your story, and choosing to thrive.
