The Shifted Podcast is for women 40+ navigating midlife with their eyes open. Hosted by Amira Davis, each episode explores boundaries, identity shifts, and emotional intelligence—no victim narratives, no apologies, just the clarity you need to move forward on your own terms.
Amira Davis is a leadership consultant, emotional intelligence strategist, and founder of D5 Consulting Group with over 25 years of experience working with organizations and leaders. She’s also a Gen X woman who built a life, a marriage, and a business from the ground up—navigating early motherhood, career growth, toxic workplaces, cancer twice, and the full weight of midlife recalibration. She doesn’t teach theory. She teaches from lived experience.
Each episode digs into the real shifts happening in midlife: hormonal changes that impact decision-making, identity evolution after decades of holding everything together, boundaries as strategic tools (not just self-care), nervous system awareness, friendship shifts, and what it means to lead with emotional maturity instead of reactivity or urgency.
You’ll hear solo episodes where Amira unpacks frameworks and reflections, guest conversations with other leaders and experts, and real stories that challenge the “midlife crisis” narrative. This isn’t about starting over—it’s about cashing in on everything you’ve already built and living from a place of clarity, not chaos.
If you’re looking for surface-level empowerment or someone to tell you that you’re enough, this isn’t your show. But if you’re ready for substance, strategy, and a voice that sounds like you—grounded, direct, and done with the fluff—you’re in the right place.

Understanding the Multi-Hyphenate Life: Navigating Identity and Leadership in Midlife
What does it really mean to live and lead as a multi-hyphenate woman in midlife?
In this episode, I sit down with Teddra Thomas Burgess—leadership strategist, executive coach, and founder of Chasing Outcomes—to unpack the outdated advice to “pick a lane” and explore why holding multiple roles—leader, entrepreneur, partner, parent, caregiver, community builder—is not confusion, it’s capacity.
Together, we examine what it takes to lead across professional, personal, and community spaces without shrinking any part of yourself. As women evolve, so do our standards, our ambitions, and our relationships. This conversation is about embracing that expansion with intention.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why choosing one path is a myth—and why intentional multi-identity leadership is the real strategy
- How embracing change and ambiguity strengthens both corporate and entrepreneurial leadership
- Practical ways to systematize your work, avoid burnout, and create sustainable boundaries
- The difference between shrinking and realigning as your life evolves
- How relationships shift as you step into fuller leadership—and how to nurture the right ones
- The iceberg analogy and the invisible labor many women carry beneath the surface
- How to communicate your multifaceted identity without sounding like a résumé—and how to find your through line
- Personal stories of boundaries and strategic decisions that led to stronger leadership across roles
