Podcast Insights
Content Themes

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.

What If Every Symptom You Have Been Treating Is Actually the Same Signal?
Neck pain every day. Migraines. Insomnia. Anxiety that wakes you out of a dead sleep. A sex drive that disappeared. A marriage that runs like a business partnership. And a medical career spent treating other people for the exact same symptoms she was ignoring in herself.
In this episode of The Shifted Podcast, I sit down with Kayla Licari, a former physician assistant turned nervous system and relationship coach, who spent 15 years in medicine making six figures before she understood that every symptom she was treating in her patients was the same one she was living with at home. Leaving her career saved her health, her marriage, and her relationship with her three kids.
She and her husband are now redefining what success looks like for their family and coaching married parents who are on the edge of divorce to move back into feeling like a deeply connected team.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why chronic neck pain, migraines, insomnia, and low sex drive are often the same nervous system signal, not separate medical problems
- How Kayla went from treating patients for stress-related symptoms to realizing she was living in a frozen nervous system state herself
- Why women in midlife lose tolerance for things they used to push through, and why perimenopause forces authenticity whether you are ready for it or not
- How nervous system dysregulation shows up in marriage, parenting, and physical health simultaneously, and why healing one heals the others
- The free tools that actually regulate your nervous system: breathwork, movement, scent, music, and physical touch from someone safe
About Kayla Licari: Kayla is a former physician assistant of 15 years turned nervous system and relationship coach. After experiencing chronic stress symptoms, a frozen nervous system state, and a marriage that had become more business partnership than connection, she left her six-figure medical career two years ago. She and her husband now coach married parents through Licari Solutions LLC on nervous system regulation, trauma-informed healing, and rebuilding deep connection. They offer a free couples Q&A call for parents ready to start.
Reflection Prompt: If you could have one honest conversation with your partner with no fear of how it lands, what would you finally say? Write the first thing that comes up. Not the safe version. The real one.
