Can you be a Christian and still struggle with lust? Is going back to your ex keeping you stuck? And why do we expect people who follow Jesus to be perfect?

This week, Mimi and Olgah are joined by Tolu from Under The Bed Podcast for an honest conversation about temptation, accountability, relationships and the pressure of being a Christian in the public eye.

The girls unpack a dilemma about a woman struggling with lust and returning to an ex, exploring why confession matters, how to choose people who will hold you accountable and why God's work in us is a process.

They also open up about the challenges of starting Christian podcasts, spiritual warfare, friendship struggles and the judgement that can come with sharing your faith publicly.

Mimi reflects on people using her Love Island past to question her relationship with God, while Tolu reminds us that our past doesn't automatically disqualify us from being used by Him.

From the pressure to appear perfect to the importance of grace, growth and community, this conversation is a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out before coming to God.

Question of the week: Have you ever felt judged for where you are in your faith journey?

Come as you are. Leave Shifted.

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?

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? 🤍
