THIS IS WHERE I LANDED With Shayla

I’ve been home in NYC for roughly 48 hours, and I’ve already done so much 😂 I’m sharing my travel, my first day fresh off the plane and into the arms of my best friend, Lorena! We grabbed breakfast and ate it at the park, went and got our nails done together, and finished off with a little retail therapy because I needed shoes for the wedding. Then, I made my way to the city, and my grandma welcomed me in a way that only a grandma can! I got the chance to celebrate my niece and nephews’ birthdays at Chuck E. Cheese with my family, and that was all day one!Wedding day! Somehow, I always forget a toothbrush. Yes, I’m that person 😂 I went to grab a toothbrush and breakfast and started my day. My bestie accompanied me to my really great friend Lauren’s wedding, and wow, what a beautiful celebration of love! Congratulations, Lauren and Jess 🎉💕 Not only did I get to see my girl Lauren, but I got to see my junior high/high school best friend, Sam!If you’re a return Lander, you may have heard me talk about Sam in old episodes. Sam saved my life when we were in high school.TRIGGER WARNING: I was depressed and suicidal.I was contemplating living, and I told Sam, and Sam told her dad. I learned tonight that Sam thought I was upset with her because of it, but little did she know, I was so grateful.Fast forward to years later and a similar situation where I had to let my friends know how I was feeling during my recent tough season. It reminded me of Sam and her love and compassion and how I wasn’t alone. I’m reminding you that neither are you. You are never alone because you will always have me. Sometimes, we need that reminder, and we need that support.This episode is a love letter to myself and a reminder of the goodness of God and how, when you seek Him, you will find Him because He has always been there. You just had to look.Follow along 💜Podcast Instagram: @landedpod TikTok: @Shaylamonay YouTube: ShaylamonayFor inquiries, collaborations, consulting, or just to connect: 📧 [email protected] us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

JUSTICE FOR NOLAN WELLS! I will continue to say his name until justice is served! Mother Nature is trying to take your girl out but I’m fighting back! The fatigue, the cramps and the backaches? PRAY FOR ME! I’ve basically slept the day away but it was so needed. I’ve been so emotional and after a good cry, I’m feeling better. Sometimes, if it ain’t one thing, it’s another. My family dog, Ace passed away tonight and while he was older and began having some health issues, it never makes it easier and the grief is real. Animals become apart of the family and Ace will definitely be missed. Good news! I’m going home 🎉 I am in need of some family time and Gods timing is literally the best timing. One of my friends is celebrating her marriage and I am so happy and excited that I’ll get to be in attendance. Her wedding opened up the opportunity for me to go home and visit and I’m so thankful for it. In this season, I need to be loved on and poured into and prayed over so the timing is perfect. I’ll be vlogging while I’m there so make sure you’re following my YouTube channel @Shaylamonay and follow me on TikTok @Shaylamonay because I’ll be posting a lot of my trip there too! I’m taking you along for the trip! PSA: the season 4 season final is September 21st and I have something exciting planned. 📩 [email protected]• Instagram: @landedpod• TikTok: @Shaylamonay• YouTube: ShaylamonaySend us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

It’s okay to change your mind. In one season you may or may not do something and in the other, you just might. It’s been so important for me in this season of stillness to understand myself better as I’m evolving into whom God has called me to be. I don’t do the same things I used to, I don’t go the same places I used to, I don’t hang with the same people I used to. I’m remembering that everything is seasonal and not everything happens to me, something’s happen for me. I’m sharing tools I’ve added to my tool box over time and boundaries is a big one! Like I always say, when you set boundaries, you have to be okay with it not going your way. The important thing is that you made them known and that you set them for yourself. In this episode, I’m talking relationships! Definition: A relationship is the connection, association, or bond between two or more people, groups, or things. I’ve been up to a lot of things. A little bit of this and a little bit of that! I posted a “Get Ready With Me & Get To Know Me” video on my YouTube channel @Shaylamonay and while I’m not on IG, I am posting on TikTok @shaylamonay. ✨ Now Offering Consulting ServicesAfter years of leading teams, developing people, improving processes, and helping others step into their potential, I’m taking that experience into a new chapter: consulting.At the heart of my leadership has always been one thing, people first.

THE POD SURPASSED 3,000 DOWNLOADS!! 🎉 That is beyond exciting and I am so grateful for you on the opposite side of the audio. Being unemployed was not on my bingo card! My plan was to take some time to heal on disability/FMLA and then return to my job better, but God had other plans. This season continues to stretch me and grow my faith and for that, I am thankful. It’s hard though. Not knowing what’s next but I’m keeping the faith, hoping and believing and trusting in God. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning! I know that’s what’s next is far greater than I can hope for or imagine.

Let’s talk state of the world. Nolan Wells high school had their first home game and didn’t acknowledge him. The navy members on the WSS are finally off the boat and in Thailand after 9 months! Recalls are running rampant. Midterm elections are right around the corner, are you registered to vote? The great migration from South to North has switched to North to South. Southern legislation is racism in display and black, brown and poor people are being targeted. Be kind, for everyone you meet is triggered.

Yall know your girl is very much in tune with the man upstairs therefore, I am in tune with the universe, the stars, the sky, the moon, the sun, all of it! Fresh off a call with an unexpected update from my grandma, I’m on the roof, enjoying the sunset, cloud watching. There’s so much stillness in watching the clouds roll by. This week I’ve been still. Listening out for God, seeking his voice. The times, the eclipse, the full moon, the unknown and the real concern of not knowing what is going on with the people of this world. It’s all energy that we feel and it’s real. I’m coming to you real and raw, it’s giving voice memo with your bestie vibes. Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

I recently took down all the affirmations I’ve stuck onto my bathroom mirror over the last year and whew, there’s a lot of them 😂 I share each affirmation that held me close over the past year and the beautiful story of Moses. Like Moses, God chose each of us individually now, based on our obedience is how the story unfolds. I hope one of the affirmations or the story I tell about serving for the first time at church and how pure and innocent the kids were, so quick to love thy neighbor. Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

Yes, I’m talking to YOU! This message applies to any and everyone because we are all living through the journey of this thing called life. The ebbs, the flows, the highs, the lows, the uncertainty—none of us really knows what’s coming next. But what we do know is that every day we wake up, it means God is not done with us yet.Yes, it’s been hard. Yes, there were moments when you had no idea how things were going to turn out. And some of us are still in that waiting season, trusting God to show up and show OUT. But we have to keep the faith that He will because my God is not a God who lies. His promises are YES and AMEN. 🙏🏽Sometimes the answer isn’t in doing more—it’s in getting still enough to hear. Take time for stillness. Listen. Seek. And then ACT.Because just like every relationship, it takes two to tango. We can pray, ask, seek, and wait on God—but when He speaks and shows us the way, we have to be willing to move.So yes… I’m talking to YOU. But I’m talking to me too. 🫶🏽Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

This episode is about seasons, the ones we’re entering, the ones we’re leaving, and the people who may not be meant to come with us into the next one.I’m learning that you can love people deeply and still love them from a distance. You can appreciate what someone meant to you in one season without forcing them to have a place in your current one. Sometimes growth looks like letting go without anger, resentment, or a big falling out. Sometimes it’s simply accepting that things have changed and choosing peace instead of trying to make something fit where it no longer does.And in the middle of all that change, I’ve been finding so much beauty in stillness. Sitting with God. Talking to Him. Praying, listening, and allowing myself to be quiet enough to hear what He’s been trying to tell me. There’s something about removing the noise and distractions that makes room for clarity.Maybe this season isn’t asking you to chase, fix, force, or figure everything out. Maybe it’s asking you to be still, trust God, love people where they are, even if that means from a distance and make room for wherever He’s leading you next. 🤎Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

Happy 1 Year to THIS IS WHERE I LANDED With Shayla! 🥹🎙️✨One whole year of landing together, and I’m feeling ALL the feels. In this anniversary episode, I’m taking it back and reminiscing on some of my favorite episodes, conversations, moments, and lessons from this first year of the pod.

First, JUSTICE FOR NOLAN WELLS!! Why are there still no answers about what happened to Nolan??? It breaks my heart, and I feel for his mother and his family. I’m also praying for the families of the 8 Black people found hung from trees in the South!! Also, why is Gary, Indiana, still in the dark and without clean water??? I’m sick of it!THE POD TURNS ONE YEAR OLD THIS SUNDAY!!! 🥹 I launched this podcast on 8/23/2025, and it has been everything I’ve dreamed of and more, and this is just the beginning! In celebration, I’m dropping a visual podcast episode this Sunday, 8/23, on my YouTube channel, Shaylamonay! Make sure to subscribe and turn on your post notifications so you don’t miss it 🫶🏽Through it all, the best thing I’ve ever done was completely surrender what was hurting me, holding me back, and making me believe that I was anything less than who God says that I am. He takes it all, all the weight of the world. I’m going to continue to remind you that God wants and has SO much more in store for you. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning, friends 🫶🏽God loves a cheerful giver. How can you be a missionary and help your fellow people? Purge that closet, honey, and get rid of those items you’ve been holding onto! Someone would love them and actually use them.

Babes, come sit down because it’s time for a little life catch-up. 😂🤎 I’m checking in from this weird little in-between season where I don’t necessarily know what’s next, I don’t have all the answers, and honestly… I’m learning to be okay with that.We’re talking about where I am right now, what this season has been teaching me, and what it looks like to keep going when life gets HARD. Because perseverance sounds cute until you actually have to persevere! 😂 But one thing I keep reminding myself is that God did not bring me this far just to bring me this far. Even when I can’t see what He’s doing, I have to trust that He’s doing something.And of course, we have to talk about the past, the choices, the mistakes, the moments where we probably should’ve known better 😂 because there’s a difference between going backwards and looking back long enough to learn the lesson.ALSOOOO, your girl finally started a YouTube channel!! 🎥✨ I posted my very first mini vlog over on Shaylamonay, so now you can see a little more of the life behind the mic! We’re trying new things, putting ourselves out there, and continuing to DO THE THING, even when we don’t know exactly where it’s going to lead.So this episode is really just us catching up, reflecting on life, talking about God, laughing a little, and figuring this thing out together. If you’re also somewhere between where you were and wherever God is taking you next… come sit with me, babes. We’re in the in-between together. ✨Come connect with me! 🤎🎙️ Instagram: @landedpod ✨ TikTok: @landedpod 🎥 YouTube: ShaylamonaySee you over there, Landers! 🫶🏾Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

I’m sending you love and positivity, as always ✨ Now… let’s chat, because coming back from San Diego, getting back on social media, and catching up on everything happening in the world?! Babes, I have A LOT TO SAY.There has still been NO conviction or any real sense of justice in the Nolan Wells case, we still don’t know what happened. Nolan and his family deserve answers. They deserve justice. Meanwhile, corruption and what feels like straight-up extortion are happening right in front of our eyes within this administration. Remember kindergarten?! When we were literally taught to share, communicate, and GET ALONG?! 😭 I need the Democrats and Republicans in office to revisit that lesson because WHAAAAT is happening?! And this is also your reminder to PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. There is so much misinformation floating around, especially on social media, and something being repeated 50,000 times does not automatically make it true. I always try to do my due diligence, dig deeper, cross-reference information, and bring actual facts to the pod—and I encourage you to do the same. Question things. Look things up. Read beyond the headline.And while we’re talking about narratives… where are all the transgender athletes supposedly taking over women’s sports? 👀 Because the way that conversation dominated politics versus what we’re actually seeing deserves a conversation of its own. And now somehow the WNBA is being politicized, with these women and this league being pulled into political conversations like pawns instead of simply being allowed to hoop, compete, and grow the game. I’m confused. I’m tired. And I have questions!Abolish ICE. Yup, I said it.There is SO much happening, and sometimes it genuinely feels impossible to keep up—but that’s exactly why we have to keep paying attention, keep asking questions, keep researching, and most importantly, keep talking about it.Now babes… let’s chat. 🎙️✨Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

The final part of my amazing birthday trip recap to San Diego! 🌴✨ And honestly, the only hiccups from the entire trip happened at the airport… what a surprise 😅Airports have been seeing record numbers of delays and cancellations, and welp… I got to experience it firsthand—delays coming AND going, from TSA all the way to sitting on the plane. Between increased air traffic, aging technology, and the never-ending air traffic control staffing shortage… Houston, we have a problem! ✈️But somewhere in the middle of all that airport chaos, I had a little full-circle moment.As a reformed crashout 😂, I had an interaction at the gate that really showed me just how far I’ve come on this healing journey. Because listen… my old attitude and temper?! I would’ve been READY to go off. But your girl likes to travel, and I cannot be ending up on somebody’s no-fly list! 😂 So instead, I had to breathe. Like actually stop, take a few deep breaths, calm myself down, and choose how I wanted to respond.And guess what? It worked.It might sound small, but that’s the thing about growth—we’re always looking for these huge, life-changing moments to prove we’ve healed when sometimes the proof is simply in how differently we respond to something that once would’ve completely taken us there.This episode is raw, honest, and real because we do not give ourselves enough credit for the progress we’ve made throughout our lives. Sometimes you have to stop, look at the old you, look at the you standing here today, and really acknowledge just how far you’ve come.Because babes… the growth is in the response. 💜Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

Part 2 of the San Diego birthday recap and baby… we were OUTSIDE! 😂Day 2 took me to the zoo where I somehow spent almost SIX HOURS and walked SEVEN MILES?! But honestly, I could’ve stayed even longer. The orangutans and elephants were easily my favorites. There was something so peaceful about just sitting there, watching them, admiring them and being completely present in the moment. And somehow, the day got even better ending it at the beach watching the sunset. 🌅Day 3 was officially BEACH DAYYY! 🌊 So much fun swimming, playing in the waves and just letting the ocean do what the ocean does. It also had me thinking about how much I want more Black people to learn how to swim—not just for safety, but so we can experience the freedom, joy and healing that comes with being in the water. There’s something about the ocean that just does it for me.Then came the nightlifeeeee 😂 From getting to meet my FAVORITE DJ, Mike O’Leary, to the sweetest surprise from my lady friend that I absolutely was not expecting… San Diego just kept showing out. 🥹And because we booked a late flight home, we basically got a whole mother day out of our last day! 😂 Riding electric bikes by the marina, having lunch on the water, and grabbing beers at my first lesbian bar, Gossip Grill. 🍻🏳️‍🌈This trip was fun, beautiful, freeing and full of moments I’ll remember forever. Part 2 is all about being present, trying new things, getting in the water, staying out late, soaking up every last minute and letting yourself LIVE a little.Because apparently 31-year-old Shayla is outsideeeee. 😂✨Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

Birthday trip recap, PART ONE! 🎂🌴☀️We’re up on the roof, down on the balcony, and somehow ending this episode in the closet where I first started recording episodes for the pod 😂 Talk about a full-circle moment!I’m taking you with me to San Diego to recap the beginning of such a beautiful birthday trip. And y’all already know how I am when I travel… give me a beautiful view, good weather and a cute neighborhood and suddenly I’m on Zillow trying to figure out how I can move there 😂But seriously, traveling does something to me. There’s something about being in a new place, seeing new things and stepping outside of your normal routine that opens you up to just how BIG and beautiful life really is.And this trip was extra special because I was taken away and celebrated by a very special lady 🥹💕 which made the experience that much sweeter.Somewhere between the rooftop, the balcony and that little closet back home, I started thinking about how God continues to make a way for me. I may not always know HOW something is going to happen, but I’ve learned that my job isn’t always to know how… my job is to have faith.And somehow, someway, He always reminds me that there is so much more life waiting for me to experience.So come to San Diego with me! 🌴 We’ve got birthday shenanigans, beautiful views, a little romance, a little reflection, and of course… a lot of gems being dropped because this is THIS IS WHERE I LANDED With Shayla. 😂💜And this is only Part One!Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

My nana used to always say, “If you can huh, you can hear.” 😂 And honestly? Most of the time I absolutely heard what she said… I was just pretending I didn’t.Isn’t that how we move through life sometimes? We hear our subconscious. We know exactly what it’s trying to tell us. We know what’s right, what needs to change, and what we’ve been called to do… but fear convinces us to play deaf.Here’s your reminder: fear only limits you if you let it. And like I’ve said before, we’re done playing small. The truth is, you can’t be brave if you’re never afraid. Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s choosing to move anyway.So whatever that thing is you’ve been putting off… this is your sign.DO. THE.

No… seriously. This is America?I was scrolling and came across a video reportedly filmed inside an ICE detention center, where women were crying out for help over inhumane living conditions. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It left me asking: How did we get here?This administration has me infuriated me. From immigration raids and detention centers, to trying to strip away voting rights, to food safety and government oversight—it feels like every week there’s another headline that makes you stop and say, Wait… what is actually going on?Have you heard about the reports of more than 83,000 Flock license plate cameras  used to track a woman allegedly trying to get an abortion? Or that AI data centers are being built in communities across the country, raising questions about privacy, energy use, and who really benefits?In this episode, we’re unpacking the headlines, asking the hard questions, and talking about what these policies and technologies could mean for our everyday lives. Because if this is supposed to be the land of the free… then it’s fair to ask: Who actually feels free?Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

What a beautiful way to welcome Chapter 31. 💜✨From waking up with a good book (trying to finish my third read of July 📚), to Pilates, to seeing the new Spider-Man movie, and ending the day surrounded by some of my favorite people at my birthday pool party… this birthday was everything I hoped it would be.In this episode, I’m sharing why I truly believe you should claim your birthday as your own. Celebrate it in a way that fills your cup. Do what makes you happy. That’s exactly how I chose to welcome my 31st year, and it reminded me that joy doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s version to be meaningful. 🎉I’m also sharing the three books I read during the month of July that I can’t recommend enough: 📖 The Lemonade Year 📖 The Alchemist 📖 OUTFOXAnd of course, we have to talk about Sunday’s sermon because… whew. It met me exactly where I was. One of my favorite things about this podcast is getting to reflect on the messages God places on my heart and sharing them with you, because we can all use a little encouragement.One reminder that has stayed with me is this: Delay represents the season where God changes you before He changes your circumstances.Sometimes we’re so focused on asking God to change what’s around us that we miss the beautiful work He’s doing within us. The waiting isn’t wasted. It’s where our faith is strengthened, our character is refined, and we’re prepared for what’s on the other side of the prayer we’ve been praying.Come spend a little time with me as we celebrate another trip around the sun, reflect on the lessons, and step into this new year with gratitude, faith, and hope for everything that’s still to come. ✨💜Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEE 🥂🎉✨🫶🏽💜I’m so thankful and grateful to God to see another year, I didn’t think I’d make it here but God, here I am 🥹🙌🏽  Here are 30 things 30 taught me:I am capable of more than I give myself credit for.I am wise beyond my years.Aging is a beautiful lesson.It’s never too late to begin again.I am the only force that can stop me.I am unstoppable.I am brilliant.Letting go was the best thing I could have done for myself.I feel deeply, and that’s a beautiful trait to carry throughout life.I’m unlike anyone I know.I am blessed.I am the daughter of the King.I create peace within myself.I love the moon and the sun.I love myself.I forgive myself.I lack nothing.I am magnetic and attractive.I am hilarious.I am genuine.I am giving.I am capable of letting go so I can be open to receive.I am not my past mistakes or my traumas. I am so much more.I am sensitive.I am a great friend.I am a leader. When I speak, people listen.I am a truth teller.I am able to trust love. I deserve to love and be loved.I am physically strong.I practice what I preach.And one bonus lesson…31. I am proud of my progress.Thirty has been one of the most eye-opening and transformational years of my life. This season has been pivotal—a time where I truly met myself and learned to extend grace to the woman I’m becoming. Every lesson, every challenge, every victory, and every setback has shaped me into the woman I am today.As grateful as I am for everything 30 gave me, I’m even more excited to see what 31 has in store. I have a feeling this next chapter is going to be filled with new opportunities, deeper purpose, and even greater joy. I’m walking into this year with an open heart, unwavering faith, and so much excitement for what’s ahead.My best days are yet to come. ✨I hope one of these lessons reminds you of who you are and encourages you to celebrate your own journey, no matter what season of life you’re in.

This episode was originally recorded on April 27, 2026—just one week after wrapping Season 3 and fresh off my very first sister trip to Denver! At the time, I was convinced this would be the kickoff to Season 4. But if you’ve been rocking with me, you already know this season is different. So today, we’re taking it back for a message that couldn’t have arrived at a better time.Let’s dive right in.If you follow the podcast on Instagram, you may have seen the before-and-after photos I recently shared of my weight loss—and weight gain. The response reminded me of something we all need to hear: your worth has never been determined by a number on a scale.Love the body you’re in. Love yourself through every season, every transformation, every setback, and every comeback. Because the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life.What we consume matters, too. It’s not just the food we eat—it’s the content we scroll, the conversations we entertain, and the messages we allow into our minds. Doom scrolling has become second nature for so many of us, but constantly absorbing negativity can quietly chip away at your mental and emotional well-being.That’s why being mindful isn’t just a trend—it’s a practice. It’s choosing to be present, protecting your peace, and paying attention to what nourishes your mind, body, and spirit. When we become intentional about what we consume and how we speak to ourselves, we create space to grow into healthier, happier versions of ourselves.We’re all students of life, continuously learning, unlearning, and evolving. So as you grow, don’t keep the lessons to yourself. Each one, teach one. You never know who needs the wisdom you’ve gained from your own journey.So if there’s one thing I hope you take away from this episode, it’s this: love yourself enough to choose yourself, protect your peace, and honor the person you’re becoming.Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

This Friday episode was recorded on 7/23/2026, my dad’s birthday and the beginning of LEO SEASON!! He was the biggest Leo I know, and the purest soul too. I’m honoring him, his light, and the way God has carried me through the long road of managing PTSD. I’ve come so far, and this episode gives voice to that growth while still holding space for the truth: the Nolan Wells tragedy brings its own triggers, its own echoes, its own stages of grief.This one moves like a memo from your bestie. I’m taking you through the last few days leading up to my dad’s birthday, the emotional waves that rose up, and the way grief, memory, and healing braided themselves together. Season 4 is evolving, and so am I — so this episode flows differently, with a deeper honesty and a softer courage.Prepare to experience all the feels. Tender. Spiritual. Reflective. Rooted in gratitude.

The woman with the issue of blood lived in suffering for twelve long years. Twelve years of pain. Twelve years of being pushed to the margins. Twelve years of trying everything the world told her would fix her. She spent all her money, all her energy, all her hope chasing healing that never came.But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough:She had a choice.She could have stayed home. She could have accepted her condition. She could have said, This is just my life now. She could have let the crowd intimidate her, let her weakness silence her, let her past convince her that her future was already decided.But she didn’t.She heard that Jesus was near. She heard that healing was possible. She heard that the One who carried power in His very presence was passing through. And right there, in that moment, she made a choice that changed everything.She chose faith over fear.She chose movement over stagnation.She chose hope over history.She chose to believe that God could do what no doctor, no remedy, no amount of money could do.She pressed through the crowd—tired, trembling, but determined. She reached out and touched the hem of His garment. Not His hand. Not His robe. Just the hem. The edge. The thread.And her choice activated her miracle.Her faith made her whole.This story reminds us that healing is God’s work, but choosing to reach for Him is ours. God doesn’t force healing on anyone. God doesn’t drag us into breakthrough. God doesn’t push us into freedom. He invites us. He waits for us. He honors the choices we make in faith.Everyone has a choice to make.You can choose to stay in what’s familiar or choose to step toward what’s divine.You can choose to keep carrying what’s hurting you or choose to reach for the One who can heal you.You can choose to believe your past or choose to believe God’s promise.Her story teaches us that your healing is on the other side of your reach. Your breakthrough is on the other side of your decision. Your freedom is on the other side of your faith.Only God can heal you.But you still have to choose Him.Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

Therapy cracked me open this week in the best way. I walked out feeling full, grateful, and grounded in a truth I needed to remember. You can’t be brave if you’re not afraid. That tension between fear and courage is where transformation actually happens. Change your perspective, change your life. The power of perspective is so much deeper than we realize, and this episode dives right into that shift.I also hit the mountains for the first time in a long time. The air felt like a reset button for my soul. Stillness has a way of speaking loudly when you finally give it space. I had my journal tucked in my backpack, ready to catch whatever God whispered. Life is full of paths, and every step is a choice. The danger comes when we keep looking back. Think about Lot’s wife. Forward is the assignment.And listen. I just finished 107 Days by Kamala Harris and WOW. A beautiful, infuriating, necessary read. I felt like I was right there with her. There’s tea, there’s tension, there’s truth, and it’s an easy page‑turner that teaches you a lot. I highly recommend it — especially as we step into election season.Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Your research matters. You’re already on your phone all day, so use it for something that shapes the world you live in. When you believe your voice doesn’t matter, the people who benefit from your silence win. And we’re not doing that anymore. Use your platforms. Speak up. Show up. Vote.Two‑thirds of this country did not elect Donald Trump, yet he became president because one‑third of eligible voters didn’t vote. Participation is power.

Recorded on 6/29 — seventeen days after Episode 1 — and baby, the energy has shifted. I’m back with new equipment, crisp audio, and a whole new level of confidence. A fresh mic, matching headphones, and a spirit that refuses to shrink.In this episode, we’re talking personal growth, pouring into yourself, the WNBA, and the wild journey of me finally embracing my biggest insecurity — my teeth. I’ve been straightening them for almost seven months, and the ROI is undeniable. I’m smiling more. Laughing louder. My joy is visible now.I even recorded a video of myself talking and posted it online. Who is she? She is me. And I love this for me.God is pushing me out of my comfort zone, and I’m saying yes. I want you to say yes too. Whatever you’ve been wanting to invest in — do it. YOLO wasn’t just a lyric, it was a prophecy. We’re done playing small.

Your girl is back and this is truly the moment we’ve all been waiting for. While I was on sabbatical minding my business, the pod quietly crossed 2,500 downloads. Y’all really said “run it up,” and I love that for us. So we’re jumping right in as I catch you up on the last three months.Your life is your life. Don’t let anybody make you feel bad about how you’re living it. I’ve spent this sabbatical in a rare state of simply being — no performing, no proving, no pretending. Just me, making daily progress toward the life I’m building. I’m proud of myself for not giving up on myself. Growth has been loud. Comfort zones have been left behind. Purpose has been walked in.And I want to remind you — it’s okay to not be okay. If you don’t address what’s affecting you mentally, it will only get heavier. Release yourself. Free yourself. Because not only are we navigating our inner world, we’re also surviving the outer one… and whewww, America is real ghetto right now. Everything feels like a business transaction, so this season, we’re talking business.Sabbatical gave me space to breathe, move my body, and read — three books in June alone. I feel free for the first time in a long time. Uncensored. Clear. Recalibrated. Thriving again. Two seasons at once, yay. Taking it one day at a time.God wants so much for you. We’re done playing small. Prayer and faith shift things.

Episode 31 is finally here and my heart is overflowing. The season finale of season 3. AHHHH. What a beautiful journey this has been.Since February second, when this season began, I have grown in ways I could not have imagined. I have stretched, healed, surrendered, and stepped deeper into who God is calling me to be. Every lesson, every shift, every moment of clarity is because of Him. I am sitting in pure gratitude as I reflect on how far I have come and how faithfully He has guided me.As I move into sabbatical, I am thankful that this is where I landed. I pray that something shared across these thirty one episodes has reached you in the way you needed. That you learned something new about yourself, expanded your thinking, softened your heart, or found a little more courage to grow. My intention has always been to share what I know and what I have been taught so that someone else can rise a little higher. I hope you feel inspired to do the same.We really do have to be the change we want to see in the world. It may sound cliché, but it is real. It is on you and me to show up with love, integrity, compassion, and intention. I am committed to offering what I can, being who I am called to be, and doing my part to make this world better.The best is still unfolding, and I am so grateful for you on the other side of this audio. Thank you for rocking with me, growing with me, and choosing to be here throughout this journey.See you for season four in May.Jeremiah 29:11For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future.Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

We have a very special guest on today’s episode and she is coming in hot with wisdom, love, and that prophetic grandma anointing. I’m sharing a piece of a conversation my grandma and I had the other day, and I want you to listen as if she is speaking directly to you. Let her words pour into you the way they poured into me.Sometimes all we need is a reminder from someone who has lived, prayed, endured, and believed their way through life. A reminder that steadies you. A reminder that pushes you forward. A reminder that you are held.In times like these, in a world like this, encouragement is not optional. It is necessary. So check on your people. Love on your people. Remind them they are not alone. And hear me clearly: you are not alone either.Faith and belief will carry you farther than fear ever could.

It’s 12am and your girl is back, fresh off a six hour nap on the couch like life didn’t just try to spin me around again. Stillness really does save me every time. I took an impromptu pause, but I’m here now, grounded, grateful, and ready to close this season out strong.This episode is a real time recap of my last week: filing for disability, having my role eliminated after five years, and navigating what it feels like to be without a job for the first time in my adult life. I’m talking about shifting the energy in my space, redecorating my living room, keeping my body moving, and choosing faith over fear even when the plot twists hit back to back.And listen, God showed up and showed out for me, and by faith He’ll do it again.

This week felt like a Holy Week love letter straight from God to me. I’m recapping all the ways He reminded me — loudly, softly, unexpectedly — that He sent Jesus to die just for me. From the little moments to the big ones, His fingerprints were all over my days.Sunday’s message, “Only Believe,” hit me right in my heart and spirit. It was one of those sermons where you feel like God pulled up a chair, looked you in your eyes, and said, “Daughter, this one’s for you.” And honestly, it was.I’m sharing everything from taking Easter bunny pics with Asia and Fay, to the way God answered prayers I whispered months ago — giving me the space, the freedom, and the grace to heal in real time. Hosting on Easter Sunday felt like another reminder that He restores what felt broken.And then there were the unexpected blessings — like Friday night out, getting to see Lo, and somehow ending up watching 1/2 of Les Twins dance at a battle… after forgetting my wallet at home. Only God could turn my forgetful moment into a whole testimony and a show.Saturday was a sweet reset with my bestie, the kind of day that fills you back up without you even realizing how empty you were.Holy Week showed out. God showed out. And I’m just grateful to be living in the overflow of His love, His reminders, and His intentionality.

March closed with softness, joy, and a whole lot of clarity. It reminded me how important it is to have fun, to lean into friendship, and to stay rooted in community. It also showed me just how far I’ve come in my healing — and that it’s still okay to have moments where I’m not okay. Healing isn’t a finish line; it’s a continuous, grace‑filled process, and I’m grateful for every step.And now… it’s spring.A season of blooming, blossoming, flourishing, and thriving.A season where everything that’s been growing beneath the surface finally starts to show.A season that mirrors exactly where I am — opening, softening, becoming again.I am strong. I am wise. I am intentional.I am a great person and an anchor.I am 1 of 1 — exactly who God says I am.Restoration is already in motion, and I can feel my breakthrough and the answers to my prayers getting closer.

This weekend was full of the softest self‑care moments, the kind that remind you you’re held, loved, and allowed to breathe. From a dreamy date‑night experience with live music and candlelight, to an unexpected Zumba class that lifted my whole spirit, to lounging by the pool like the sun was personally checking in on me.South Carolina basketball had me locked in, so I’m giving you my March Madness predictions and sharing CBA updates because we officially have a season.

The signs, the words, the messages, the synchronicities have been at an all‑time high. Today marks 8 years since my brother passed away, which still feels absolutely insane to say out loud. And on this exact day, I realized I’ve officially surpassed 2,000 downloads on the pod.Two thousand downloads of This Is Where I Landed with Shayla.I am SOOOOO PROUD OF MYSELF.Eight years is a long time to miss someone. But today was a good day. From the moment I woke up, the energy felt different, lighter than it has in a long time, and for that, I’m thankful.All the work I’ve put in, the hours of therapy, prayer, grieving, mourning, have slowly transformed into peace and healing. It took so much intentionality to get here. THIS IS WHERE I LANDED!! So many hard days. And everything shifted when my therapist told me, “Grief never becomes easier, it just gets less intense.”Since then, I’ve been learning how to soften the intensity, and wow, I’m proud of myself for that.To realize on this day that I had 2,023 downloads, the year my dad passed, felt like a sign from both of them. A little whisper from the other side saying, “We’re with you. We see you. Everything is going to be just fine.

My first guest of the season!! Tay is finally on the pod, y’all and this one feels special. I’m introducing you to one of my closest friends turned family, Taylor. We met on Bumble BFF back in August 2023, swiped right, and somehow built a sisterhood that has carried us through some of the most transformative seasons of our lives.In this episode, we cover a lot, and the gems drop naturally.From meeting on an app and choosing each other as friends, to witnessing each other’s evolution in real time. From Taylor going from girlfriend to fiancée to a whole wife in May, to my own journey from grief to healing and rebuilding my life with intention.We talk about what it’s like to have a friend who has seen you at your lowest, the discomfort of loving someone from the sidelines, and the beauty of growing your faith together. This is a conversation about community, sisterhood, and the truth that you really do need people.If you’ve ever questioned the power of friendship, this episode is your reminder.It’s real, raw, honest and full of heart.Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

Oh hello, old friend.As I’ve shared before, grief comes in waves—and with the wild series of events approaching, I can feel those waves slowly gathering themselves again. Triggers are real, and they stir up emotions you thought you’d already sorted through. In the midst of it all, it’s important to remember that they are just waves. Like life, they ebb and they flow.Give yourself grace. Remember that it’s okay to not be okay. It happens, and it’s human. Sometimes you really do need to take the day off, even when you know you’re coming back to a mountain of work—because clearing your mind and grounding yourself matters more than powering through. That pause is what keeps you from drowning.I’m proud of my growth and the way I’ve learned to swim—to stay afloat instead of getting swallowed whole by the waves that grief brings. So hello again, old friend. I knew I’d see you, and this time, I’m meeting you with strength, softness, and a steadier heart.Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

Weekend recap, weekday reset, and your unofficial Vegas tour guide reporting live. I’m giving you the full rundown because Vibe Distribution is officially back in rotation and a time was absolutely had. From the Mad Apple show at New York New York on the Strip to the full Fremont Street experience, I’m here to be your virtual Vegas tour guide, the friend who tells you what’s worth your time, what’s giving energy, and what you can skip. I’m also sharing how my week kicked off, the importance of dance as release, rest as restoration, and being mindful about what you’re consuming spiritually, emotionally, digitally, and energetically. What you take in shapes how you show up, so be gentle with yourself and extend that same kindness outward. Community matters, and Monday’s prayer line was the sweetest reminder that we’re held, supported, and surrounded.I’m thankful for you on the opposite side of this audio, and I’m proud of myself for continuing to show up for Shayla. The progress is real, the growth is loud, and my best is still unfolding.I’m closing out with the verse of the day, a grounding reminder to release what’s too heavy to carry alone.Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.Give it to God.

This episode is your wake‑up call from your favorite podcast bestie: you’re not giving yourself nearly enough credit for everything you’ve pushed through, built, survived, and elevated. A conversation with a friend who just took the BAR exam snapped me into reality — we hype everyone else up, but somehow forget to acknowledge our own wins. That ends today.I’m giving you the real, unfiltered best‑friend truth: when people show you who they are the first time, believe them. Stop letting people test your boundaries. Stop giving grace where accountability is due. People will always treat you the way you allow them to — and that’s not a threat, that’s a pattern.And while we’re being honest… what’s the caliber of your circle? Think about the people closest to you. Are they aligned? Are they consistent? Are they adding value, or draining it? Analyze your connections with clear eyes, not nostalgia.Discernment matters. Boundaries matter. Self‑respect matters. And common sense? Not common — so trust your intuition and stop ignoring the red flags.

We’re talking a 13‑minute ortho appointment, a three‑hour nap, four and a half hours at the nail salon, and two hours of shopping. A marathon of pouring into me.WHAT. A.

It’s always a great day when you start it with yoga. I got in 2.4 miles on my lunch break, grounded myself in the park, grabbed a Big Mac, cruised around listening to music, hit IKEA with Tay, and wrapped the night with sushi. We love this for me.This episode is a midweek recap and a real check‑in. I’m off tomorrow, and the whole day is dedicated to self‑care — from my ortho appointment, to a morning hike, nails at noon, and a little shopping right after.

Sunday service recap, rooftop edition. I was stretched out on the roof, reading and minding my business, when I got that familiar nudge to start yapping—and you know I never turn down a rooftop recording moment. I’m sharing my Sunday and my whole weekend, including my dramatic crash‑out over South Carolina’s loss to Texas because… basketball is life, let’s be serious.Then we get into today’s Atmosphere of Faith sermon, because whew… it had my name on it. Mark 5: 21-27. Right in the middle of talking, I sat up, turned around, and the sunset was sitting there reminding me of the faithfulness of God and how beautiful it is to believe again.I’m praying for you on the opposite side of the audio. I’m reminding you that you are not alone, that weeping may endure for a night, but joy really does come in the morning. Let me be a mirror and a reflection for you. It’s only up from here.https://youtu.be/niV_b3y6b-c?si=HKFdYLGp1vNiZEz6Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

This episode ends a little abruptly, so my apologies in advance. But I had to tap in because I saw a post on IG that stopped me in my tracks:“Being rare means many people will admire the idea of having you in their life. But admiration and capacity are not the same thing. Some people are fascinated by rarity but don’t know how to nurture it. That’s often when they lose access to you.”Whew. The words really speak for themselves, but I did my best to unpack what that means in real life — in relationships, in friendships, in the way we let people show up for us (or not).And before you go: how are you? Are you taking care of yourself? There’s a lot happening in the world right now, and I hope you’re giving yourself a moment to breathe, to check in, to tap back into your own heart.Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

This episode is giving on the phone with your bestie, and honestly… those are always our favorites. It’s a full moon, and you already know your girl loves the stars, the sun, the moon, and all the things. I’m sprawled across the bed after a 9pm nap and five snoozes, yapping about how I welcomed in this full‑moon energy,  from rooftop yoga at sunrise to skating around the parking lot on my lunch break vibing to J. Cole’s The Fall Off.Before we get too deep, let’s settle the real question of the day: Disc 29 or Disc 39? I’m team 29, but the whole album is chef’s kiss. And listen… I’ve fully entered my music curator era. I’m sharing the songs that find me, hype me, and hold me, so of course I made you a playlist — search “Landedpod Vibes ✨” on Apple Music and follow ya girl! Music is a love language for me, and I’m excited to vibe out with you. https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/landedpod-vibes/pl.u-76oNPJ3TWAmXDqxSomehow I ended up on the roof under that bright, beautiful moon, feeling empowered by its strength, standing tall in a moment of gratitude.

Church was so good, I had to come back with a recap!2 Corinthians 2:10–11“Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive… in the presence of Christ, so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.”Forgiveness is not about excusing what happened or pretending it didn’t hurt. It’s about protecting your spirit. It’s about choosing clarity over chaos, peace over pettiness, and alignment over emotional entanglement. And from where I’m standing in this season, forgiveness is something I do for me, not for them.Because holding onto hurt only keeps you tied to the very thing God already freed you from. Letting go is how you reclaim your joy, your softness, your glow, your forward motion. It’s how you close the door the enemy would love to slip through. It’s how you stay in your purpose, not your pain.Forgiveness doesn’t mean access. It doesn’t mean reconciliation. It doesn’t mean pretending the wound didn’t change you. It simply means you refuse to let bitterness have a seat at your table. You’re choosing your healing, your peace, your alignment, and your future over anything that tried to break you.Forgive them for you, not for them.Because you know who you are now.You know what God is doing in you.And you’re not letting anything or anyone outwit you in this season.Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.

If I had a Moesha‑style diary for 2026, January and February would have their own chapters. January was the plot twist. February was the character development. Together, they taught me about alignment, timing, softness, and the power of returning to myself again and again. In this episode, I’m flipping through the pages — the lessons, the losses, the glow‑ups, the boundaries, the breakthroughs. I wrap it up with a few gems I’ve learned along the way, the kind that make you pause and check in with yourself.

Win before you begin!This week, I’m recapping Sunday service and whew… what a word. We were in Deuteronomy 20:1–4, and listen — that scripture hit different when you’re in a season of reclaiming everything God said is yours.I had the absolute pleasure of hearing Pastor Rich Wilkerson preach at my church’s 8‑year anniversary this Sunday. A full‑circle moment for me, because when I lived in New York, I was a member of his brother’s church in Harlem, Trinity New. If you’re ever in NYC, I highly recommend checking them out. That family has a way with words that just cuts straight to the heart.This episode is encouraging, motivational, and rooted in the reminder that God goes before you.He’s done it before, and He will do it again.Before you even step onto the battlefield, remind yourself:The battle has already been won.I hope something in this episode lands exactly where you need it.Send us Fan MailThis Is Where I Landed with ShaylaI’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too.
