About the Podcast
What Is Your Gift? is a heart-opening podcast for anyone who feels called to create something new — a business, a side hustle, a new direction in life.
It celebrates real people with real stories: their beginnings, their breakthroughs, their fears, their surprises, and the beautiful messiness of reinvention.
​
This podcast is here to remind you:
You are not too late. You are not too old. Your gift is still waiting to be expressed.
Why These Stories Matter
If you’ve ever felt
-
stuck in the same routine
-
uninspired in your work
-
overwhelmed by “What now?”
-
scared of changing careers
-
or quietly wishing you could start something of your own…
…then these conversations will feel like oxygen.
Stories show us
-
new possibilities
-
courage we forgot we had
-
connection
-
hope
-
and proof that ordinary people can create extraordinary lives
Listening to others rise gives us permission to rise too.
A Personal Note From Your Host – Lilly McKenzie
Before I opened my business, I was still in my corporate job and honestly, I felt lost and confused.
Something inside me was whispering: There’s more for you.
At the same time, I was facing a health challenge that pushed me out of my comfort zone.
Back then, I would work outside (I was working on an orchard) and listen to podcasts all day long.
Stories of entrepreneurs, stories of people who had reinvented themselves, stories of courage.
Those voices changed me.
They helped me shift my mindset, see new possibilities, and believe I wasn’t stuck.
And stepping into entrepreneurship has been the most meaningful decision of my life.
​
This podcast is my way of giving that same spark to someone who needs it now — someone who feels that pull but doesn't know where to begin.
​
Today my work blends mindset, hypnosis, transformation, and helping others reconnect with their purpose.
And this podcast is one of the ways I honour that mission.

It was an absolute pleasure doing the podcast with Lilly. She listened attentively and helped me develop a deep understanding about what drives me to do what I do, what got me to where I was, and what I want to do in the future.
The experience was quick, easy, and I felt comfortable throughout. It's also been helpful in promoting myself in my field of work. Please check out her other podcasts, and jump at the chance if she offers an interview!
