About this listen

 What if you didn’t need to have it all figured out? It’s Okay If… is your weekly permission slip to be human. I created this short-form podcast as part of my own healing process — a way to slow down, process grief, and reconnect with what I was feeling. Each bite-sized episode (just 3 minutes or less) offers a short, honest reflection to challenge perfectionism, embrace your real self, and remind you that you're not alone. Hosted by Matt Gilhooly, creator of The Life Shift Podcast, this show delivers midday nudges of self-acceptance, insight, and calm – whether you're walking the dog, stuck in traffic, or just need a breath. No fluff. No fixing. Just a moment of truth. New episodes every Wednesday at noon. Follow wherever you get your podcasts.Copyright 2025 Matt Gilhooly

    Welcome to It’s Okay If… Your bite-sized permission slip for real life
    May 17 2025

    I’ve spent the last few years hosting The Life Shift Podcast, having deep conversations about the moments that change us.

    But sometimes, we don’t need a full conversation. We just need a moment.

    That’s what It’s Okay If… is for.

    Each week, I’ll share a short reflection, usually under 3 minutes, as a kind of permission slip.

    • To feel what you feel.
    • To let something go.
    • To remember that being human is hard and beautiful and worth slowing down for.

    I made It’s Okay If… for me.

    I was grieving. I needed quiet. I needed space to feel what I’d been avoiding. And in that space, this idea showed up.

    What if I could record small, honest reminders that it’s okay to be human?

    So I did. I wrote and recorded 54 short episodes – each one under 3 minutes – as part of my healing journey.

    And now, I want to share them with you.

    New episodes drop every Wednesday at noon.

    I hope they meet you where you are, like they met me where I was.

    Matt
