  • Summary

  • Author Dana Silva opens up about her unplanned pregnancy and how the impending reality of motherhood triggered her OCD. Becoming a mother to someone she had met just three months earlier was not the ideal situation for someone suffering from intrusive thoughts, including an OCD subset involving obsessions and fears about being or becoming a pedophile.
    Dana's debut book, The Shift, is a memoir spanning a decade of her life. It delves into her struggles with identifying and managing OCD, her divorce, a five-month backpacking trip through Central America, and explicit details of sexual encounters and liberation.

    A modern Eat Pray Love with a twist of mental health challenges, unplanned pregnancy, and candid explorations of intimacy, The Shift is entertaining, relatable, and thought-provoking for all the right reasons.

    If you're looking to immerse yourself in the hotel room romances of a late-twenties woman with very little to lose, The Shift is for you. Listen as Dana shares her journey, surrendering to the process of documenting her raw human experience for friends, family, and the world to read.
