In Shock Podcast
In Shock is a podcast about the moments that hit hard and change everything—the setbacks you didn’t see coming, the wins you never thought possible, and the quiet shifts that turn into something bigger. Hosted by Teresa Baglietto, author of The Ripple Effect, the podcast features raw, energizing conversations about resilience, self-advocacy, and what it really takes to rise—personally and professionally—when life doesn’t go as planned. Each episode dives into real-life stories of navigating cancer, divorce, financial struggle, career growth, leadership challenges, second chances, and major life transitions. These are honest conversations about grit, growth, and the shocks that shape who we become. In Shock is for anyone facing a moment that changes everything—and looking for clarity, strength, and forward momentum through it.
