Yet, Stefanie Davis and Jacky Merola are navigating this challenging yet rewarding journey with grace and a shared mission: to empower women and mothers, to take charge of their lives and careers.<\/p>\n<p>This dynamic duo are not only family but also co-hosts of the podcast The Shift, which was created to spark open conversations about womanhood, motherhood, entrepreneurship and work.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A beautiful collaboration<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Stefanie Davis, originally from the East Rand, is a Portuguese South African with a heart full of ambition. Married and a mother to her stepdaughter, who lives with her and her husband full-time, Stefanie has had to navigate the challenges that come with blended families.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23437 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-01-05-at-18.18.02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"716\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-01-05-at-18.18.02.png 716w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-01-05-at-18.18.02-400x213.png 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-01-05-at-18.18.02-696x371.png 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s been a journey, but a rewarding one,\u2019 she shares, highlighting the growth that comes with stepping into the role of a full-time mother. Stefanie is also the proud owner of Feel Good &amp; Co., a strategy and consulting firm that partners with advertising agencies and brands to bring their visions to life. But her talents don\u2019t stop at business.<\/p>\n<p>With a background in musical theatre, Stefanie\u2019s love for singing, dancing and acting continues to fuel her creativity. Her passion for making a difference in the world, especially for women, is a key driver in her work. \u2018The time is now for us to stand up for one another and lift each other,\u2019 Stefanie says.<\/p>\n<p>For Jacky Merola, motherhood and business go hand in hand. A wife and mother of two, ages three and nine, Jacky is deeply connected to her roots as a Portuguese South African. \u2018It\u2019s significant to the women we have become,\u2019 she explains, \u2018and I think our mums still terrify us a little.\u2019 The values passed down through generations of women in her family play an essential role in how Jacky approaches her life and business.<\/p>\n<p>Jacky\u2019s professional journey began with a Master\u2019s Degree in Research Psychology, and her initial career path led her into social research. However, as she discovered the tough realities of this field, she made the transition into market research, eventually finding her passion in marketing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018At one point, I felt disappointed in myself,\u2019 Jacky admits. \u2018I was questioning how I was changing the world and living out my purpose.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But over time, she realised that changing the world doesn\u2019t always mean solving grand problems &#8211; it\u2019s about showing up as your true self and doing what you\u2019re good at. \u2018The way to change the world is by just showing up,\u2019 Jacky says. \u2018It\u2019s about doing something you love, and that makes a difference.\u2019<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A platform for women<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Shift podcast was born from a shared vision of offering a space where women and mothers could find community and support. \u2018We wanted to create a space for conversation that encourages women to take ownership of the lives they want to live,\u2019 says Stefanie. The podcast has become a platform where women can discuss everything from entrepreneurship to motherhood and where they can hear the real, unfiltered stories of other women who are on similar journeys.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23435 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/DSC_3079-rotated-e1745916941394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"928\" height=\"1104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/DSC_3079-rotated-e1745916941394.jpg 928w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/DSC_3079-rotated-e1745916941394-336x400.jpg 336w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/DSC_3079-rotated-e1745916941394-861x1024.jpg 861w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/DSC_3079-rotated-e1745916941394-768x914.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/DSC_3079-rotated-e1745916941394-353x420.jpg 353w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-south\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/04\/DSC_3079-rotated-e1745916941394-696x828.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The two women find that their conversations on the podcast are incredibly fulfilling, not only for their listeners but for themselves as well. \u2018We have profound conversations, and it\u2019s such a joy to work with someone who you can have these deep discussions with,\u2019 says Jacky. The podcast isn\u2019t just about business or motherhood &#8211; it\u2019s about encouraging women to embrace their true selves and not to conform to society\u2019s expectations. \u2018Ten years ago we weren\u2019t bombarded with the perfection of motherhood that we see today on social media.
