Kayla MacDonald: Shark Shifters, Divine Daddies & Reclaiming Rage

In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Kayla MacDonald, a writer, podcaster, and creative catalyst for women who’ve been told they’re too much. Kayla’s work is pure awesome-sauce, blending deep emotional truth with unapologetic creativity—often involving archetypes, slash fiction, and even shark shifters. She guides you into the parts of yourself you thought were "too weird" to share.Kayla's journey is a powerful act of identity reclamation, evolving from childhood survival writing to using feminist, dystopian rage and paranormal romance (Great White Shadows) to process heartbreak and societal frustrations. We dive deep into her Divine Daddies framework, a playful, spiritual method that uses a Fiery Challenger and a Gentle Nurturer to help clients overcome resistance, build self-love, and shift from habits rooted in control (like dieting) to cooperation (like eating for energy).This conversation is your permission slip to stop hiding and finally become the main character of your own life. Julie May and Kayla MacDonald discuss how to set boundaries that stick, how to heal inner child wounds with compassion, and why your healing gets loud when you turn your deepest pain into a love story. Stop shrinking and let your weird, wonderful truth be your power.Want to learn more about Kayla MacDonald? https://www.embodiedwritingwarrior.com/Want to learn more about Ridiculously You or join our newsletter? https://ridiculouslyyou.comReady to join the Ridiculous Women Society and stop shrinking? https://ridiculouslyyou.com/womenWant to learn more about Julie May or book her to speak? https://thejuliemay.com
