Shift Happens

Shift Happens

Author: Nadine Piontek June 5, 2025 Duration: 17:36

Wecome to the brand new Power Plays and Breakaways podcast! In this raw and real kickoff episode, I open up about burnout, identity shifts and quiet discomfort that nudges us towards change.  This one is for all the moms who have been keeping it together but knows....it's time for something to shift. 


Ever feel like you're stuck on the bench in your own life, watching the play happen without you? That's the territory explored in Power Plays and Breakaways with Nadine Piontek-Empowerment, Self Improvement and Purpose. Nadine Piontek, who moved from the hockey rink sidelines into life coaching, brings the energy of a locker room talk to conversations that dig into the real stuff. This isn't about vague inspiration; it's for women who are done with shrinking themselves and are ready to step into a bigger, more purposeful game. Each episode feels like a candid chat with a trusted friend who isn't afraid to ask the tough questions. You'll hear honest discussions about navigating the identity shifts that come with motherhood, rebuilding a mindset that actually supports your goals, and reconciling personal faith with everyday ambition. The core of this podcast is that restless, burning feeling-the sense that there must be more-and it tackles how to channel that into meaningful action, without apology. It’s for anyone who has ever muttered "what now?" in a quiet moment and is ready to turn that question into a strategy. Tune in for a blend of practical self-improvement and deep mental reframing, all delivered with the straightforward, empowering vibe of someone who knows the value of a good power play.
