THIS IS WHERE I LANDED With Shayla

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. Just like the flowers, I’m stepping into a new month ready to rise, ready to expand, ready to receive.So goodbye March, and hello April.This month is going to be a God did month, and I’m walking into it with expectancy, gratitude, and faith.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 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. I spent time with Taylor, soaked up church, and closed the weekend with some much‑needed relaxation with Fay.And because I’m taking a break from social media, this episode feels even more like a heart‑to‑heart,  just me sharing life as it’s happening, without the noise.Church… whew.

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. Don’t worry.”“Fear not, for I am with you.” - GodSend 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 your midweek check‑in, bestie that gentle reminder that you are so close to the weekend. Keep going, keep breathing, keep trusting.“Peace be still and know that I am God.”I’ve been waiting for a word, and this week… I finally got one.God is never late. He is always on time.

Your only job is to trust the process and stay aligned.In this episode, I’m sharing some midweek motivation and a few affirmations to carry with you.

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.

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.

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.

It’s Friday…. or whatever day you’re tuning in and the vibes are high! It’s 10pm, I’m unwinding, and I’m recapping a full‑on self‑care day.

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.

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.

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.

Happy Friday! I’m late to upload but you’re getting a semi live, real and raw midday podcast recorded and immediately uploaded for your listening pleasure. Enjoy! You really can’t help people who don’t want to help themselves. You can’t want something more for someone than they want it for themselves.

If Moesha had a podcast, it would sound a lot like this. Honest. Reflective. A little dramatic in the best way. Rooted in telling the truth out loud. But this isn’t her diary. This is my voice, my pen, my show.Journaling has changed my life in ways I’m still uncovering. And honestly, nobody modeled the art of honest reflection better than Moesha Mitchell. Every “Dear Diary” moment was a masterclass. She walked us through her first thoughts, her feelings, her confusion, her clarity, and then closed with the lesson she was taking with her. That’s journaling at its core: truth, transparency, and transformation.In this episode, I’m sharing how journaling became the place where I could finally tell the truth, the good, the bad, and the beautifully uncomfortable. Writing forced me to be honest with myself in a way I had never been before. It’s been deeply introspective, wildly healing, and one of the most therapeutic practices I’ve ever committed to.Writing has always come naturally to me, but I know that’s not everyone’s story. So I’m giving you guidance, prompts, and real examples straight from my own journal, which was a reflective moment all on its own. This episode is raw, real, and full of gems for anyone ready to start narrating their own becoming.Share this with someone who’s ready to pick up the pen and change their life.

I’m recapping my weekend, starting with the Cardi B concert because listen, Cardi can do no wrong in my eyes.

Welcome to my post crash‑out TED Talk 😂. Today we’re unpacking gaslighting, boundaries, manipulation, protecting your energy, emotional intelligence, forgiveness, and all the little delusions that make relationships… interesting.It was a short stint, but whew… it’s hard not to crash‑out when people have you messed up. And since I’m already in my bag, I’m also sharing some of my favorite episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 the ones that still hit, still teach, classics ✨And you already know… once I start rambling, that’s when the episode gets good 😂.The truth is, the clarity after the crash‑out is what makes it worth it. Every slip, every spiral, every “girl, why did I do that?” becomes a teacher. Let your crash‑out be a lesson not a lifestyle. We’re doing things once and learning from them. Listening to our intuition the first time. Trusting ourselves because nobody knows us better than we do.When people show you who they are, believe them. Discernment is your friend.

Allow me to reintroduce myself.The businesswoman. The model. The makeup artist. The woman who broke the cycle she was once trapped in and chose herself again.It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.This episode is a love letter to every version of me the girl I was, the woman I am, and the one I’m still becoming. It’s the story of losing myself, finding my way back, and realizing every detour was divine. An ode to the girl with passion and vision, the one whose flame dimmed but never died… just waited for the right moment to ignite into something bigger, brighter, and bolder.This is where forgetting turns into remembering, where old dreams link arms with new clarity, and where I honor who I’ve been while standing fully in who I am now. The future Shayla is already on her way, walking in with purpose. And the present Shayla? We LOVE her.Everything from here on out is intentional.

HELLO, HELLO! Your favorite podcast bestie is back and Season 3 has officially landed.I thought I’d be returning at the top of the year, sometime in January… and then I heard February. You know your girl has been working on her obedience, so I asked God for a date. First it was Valentine’s Day, 2/14 which made perfect sense with this renewed love and adoration I’ve found for myself. But then it shifted to 2/2, and the message was loud and clear.2/2: intuition, alignment, divine timing, intentionality, manifestation.A reminder that God’s timing will forever be the best timing. All glory to the man upstairs, because your girl has been healing beautifully. The tools I’ve added to my toolbox have stretched me, blessed me, and fueled me. I’m in a season where I’m taking back everything the devil tried to steal from me, and doing it with clarity and confidence. I’M BAAACCK!✨Season 3 is the evolution, a fresh energy.

As the flowers hit the closet floor and I unfold myself from my little pretzel, I stand up, take a bow, and officially close out Season 2. THANK YOU. This season has been full of healing, full of growth, full of moments where I surprised even myself and I hope that on the other side of this audio, you’ve been healing and growing right alongside me.I’m so proud of myself for pouring into me, grounding me, rediscovering me, and loving me more now than ever before. This journey has been tender, stretching, hilarious, humbling, and so necessary. I’m grateful for every single part of it.And since it’s not just the end of the season but the end of the year, you know I had to recap it all the lessons, the shifts, the signs, the softness, the strength.

A day late to drop the body but it’s been a wild last 48 hours! Better late than never; right? I’m back in New York after a fun and exciting weekend celebrating my accomplishment of 1K downloads on the pod! I’m recapping the beautiful sound bath experience and the much needed girls night out. Im also sharing a piece of my vision for the pod and manifesting all of my wildest dreams. This episode is a catchup, our favorite type of episode. I’mShoutout to justice Jackson and vibe distribution once again, a time was had at their ugly Christmas sweater /pajama party. I’m taking myself on a solo date in the city to a broadway musical, Hells Kitchen by Alicia Keys as I get ready to rush and go to the nail salon fr some much needed maintenance.

Friend to the pod and our resident therapist, sound healer, reiki master, and yoga instructor, Fay’s Flower, is back with us. After tuning into “The 1K Special ft. Deion and Maya” and “Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself,” Fay noticed how much of our story tracks back to childhood and she wanted to take us deeper.This episode is all about attachment styles and love languages: the ways we show up in relationships, the roots of those patterns, and how we can teach people to love us well. We’re breaking down the four attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—exploring their origin stories and how they present in our lives. And of course, we’re talking love languages: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch.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’ll admit.. I was skeptical about Reiki, but after my first at-home session with Fay, I’m a believer. Not only was it my first Reiki experience, it was also Fay’s first time facilitating in someone’s home, which made the energy even more powerful for both of us. I felt the shifts in real time, thoughts and emotions releasing, my body finding ease, my spirit finding peace. When it was over, I stood taller, lighter, and more aligned than I’ve felt in a long time.In this episode, Fay and I share both sides of the journey—the practitioner and the receiver. We talk about energy, release, and what happens when you give yourself permission to experience something new. 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.

Your girl did something I never thought I’d do, solo hiking! Four miles, just me, the trail, and a whole lot of courage. I had to bring you along for the ride because stepping outside my comfort zone deserves a little celebration, go me!This episode is a full vibe check: a recap of my week, a peek into my weekend, and what’s next as I get ready to travel back east. Plus, I finally had my reiki session with Fay and whew… let me tell you, it was everything. My energy is magnetic and attractive, and I’ve got story time to prove it, two connected moments, two totally different outcomes.It’s a reminder that people may forget your name, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel. And listen, stop condemning yourself. Nobody’s perfect, and nobody expects you to be. This one’s about courage, energy, and giving yourself grace.✨ Plus, we’re celebrating 1K with a special live sound bath experience on December 20th at 1pm PST / 4pm EST featuring Fay’s Flower!

⚠️ Warning: Loud sounds, random yelling, extra curse words, and uncontrollable laughter ahead. Proceed with headphones and an open heart 😂Asia’s back on the pod—and of course, we’re hiking! This episode shows our determination, because we were set on getting as close to 4 miles as possible. The girl chat gets real: random pop-ups we’re trying to avoid, free drinks courtesy of pretty privilege, dancing the night away, stepping into the unexpected wing woman role, and even being “the man” in the friendship. We’re spilling all the TEA from our Friday night out—but first, who’s funnier: me or Asia? Lol. Email me at [email protected] with your vote!This one is full of story times: like the hike in Boulder City when we ran into big horn sheep (and I was ready to let Asia be their dinner), or the time she passed out in the Chipotle line after an 8-mile trek through the historic railroad trail. It’s always hilarious hearing the same story from different perspectives. 😂 Moral of the story? Pay attention to your body—but also, move your body!We’re diving into what it feels like to be 30 again, but from a whole new perspective compared to last time. We talk about finding your footing in a new city, staying present in both mind and moment, and the power of obedience. And here’s the reminder: Grace is your friend, especially when you’ve been knocked off your feet and have to find your way back. We explore what it means to return to yourself in the midst of darkness—and how the unexpected evolution turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Gem after gem, we’re landing!✨ Plus, we’re celebrating 1K with a special live sound bath experience on December 20th at 1pm PST / 4pm EST featuring Fay’s Flower!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains conversations about suicide.Sunday recordings hit different—laughs, tears, and gems all rolled into one 😂. This week, I’m reflecting on November: losing myself, finding myself, and remembering God’s goodness. Today’s sermon, “Remember”, reminded me He’s done it before and He’ll do it again.We’re talking healing, growth, and the power of choosing discomfort—because if I never got uncomfortable, this pod wouldn’t exist. From mean girl to nice girl, from stuck to free, I’m living proof you can change. Growth means refusing to play small and stepping boldly into big things.This episode is raw, real, and worth sharing with a friend—or replaying when you need a reminder. Obedience brings blessings, Jesus is my homebody, and that’s on period.✨ Plus, we’re celebrating 1K with a special live sound bath experience on December 20th at 1pm PST / 4pm EST featuring Fay’s Flower!

This episode isn’t Part 2 of the 1K Special, but it could feel like it. On my morning walk, I reflected on the episode while at the airport, listening back to the audio with Deion and Maya — and the answers I gave. I’ve always said honesty is the best policy, because I truly believe it and live by it. But I realized that calling what I was feeling “heartbreak” was just the easy way out. The truth? I was silencing my real thoughts and emotions. I had to check myself on a few things!How many times have you acted like you didn’t care, even when it was eating you up inside? And what did you gain from it? Usually nothing but feeling worse. You’ll never heal from what you don’t acknowledge — and that’s the truth. Caring deeply isn’t a flaw, it’s a gift.Words have power. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and when we choose honesty, we choose growth. That’s what I want this platform to be: a mirror for your reflection, a reminder that your voice matters, and that healing starts with truth.💎 Share what landed for you at [email protected] — I know one of these gems dropped exactly where it was needed.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.

Walking has truly become a form of therapy for me. As I moved through Central Park, I found myself getting emotional, I had to let the tears come as I watched people skate, listened to the music, and soaked in all the beauty around me and within me. I’ve allowed myself to be fully present during this trip, and as the night of my departure approached, sadness crept in. Then, after letting those tears fall, I stumbled upon a waterfall along a trail. It felt like God was telling me to take that turn instead of continuing down the path I was on—and whewww, that’s a word in itself.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.

Your girl is back home in the City for the holidays after five years out west, and I’m overflowing with gratitude! In this episode, I’m recapping my first 24 hours back—losing three hours to travel, soaking up family time I’ve missed so much, and savoring the joy of being exactly where I need to be. From church (“Thank God for living Hope” – 1 Peter 1:3-9) to BBQs, and even a candlelight yin yoga class at UpDog Studios in Harlem (10/10 vibes, sirens and all 😂), it’s been a whirlwind of thanksgiving and peace.This episode is more than a recap—it’s a reminder that you are not alone. Holidays can be hard, but I’m sending virtual hugs and gratitude to you on the other side of this audio.

So many times we have ideas we don’t act on, but this time I did—and that deserves acknowledgment. Growth, progress, accomplishments… they all matter. You’re doing big things, don’t forget that! Even when it doesn’t feel like it, you are.This episode, we’re talking about “wins”—what they mean for you, why they matter, and how to give yourself that well-deserved pat on the back. Say it with me: “Everyday I am making progress to create the life I want to live for myself.”Now let’s get into the topic: You hurt my feelings!Does anyone else hate getting their feelings hurt? Story time! We’re diving into boundaries and feelings—because sometimes people hurt us, but sometimes, we hurt ourselves. Setting boundaries is one thing, but standing on them? That’s a whole different story. At the end of the day, if your boundaries aren’t being respected, that means you aren’t being respected—and that’s when it’s time to make a change. When we treat people the way we want to be treated, we often expect them to do the same. But life doesn’t always work that way. So let’s talk about it—boundaries, respect, and the courage to stand firm in what you deserve.

Frick and Frack are back! Asia’s back on the pod and we’re closing out the trail, ending up in the car doing what we do best, talking about everything and nothing all at once 😂. One word: raw!From hilariously funny hockey game stories to the test of growth when bad attitudes show up at the beauty supply (bundles and brushes, anyone?), we’re calling out rude customer service and getting real about emotions—the struggle of having them 😂.We’re learning the ropes of communication and why it matters in every part of life. Silent reaction or conversation? Hurt feelings? We’re unpacking kindness and how your actions impact others, even when you don’t realize it.

Your girl is out of commission with a chest cold—and yes, after all the talk about dis-ease, it finally caught up to me. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how stress, anxiety, and overwhelm have been quietly stacking up behind the scenes. Despite all the preventative measures, my body said “enough.”Inspired by Heal Your Body by Louise Hay, we’re unpacking the emotional roots of upper respiratory issues—mental confusion, disorder, small hurts—and how they show up when life feels like too much at once.

⚠️ Warning: Loud sounds, random yelling, extra curse words, and uncontrollable laughter ahead. Proceed with headphones and an open heart 😂This episode? A full-on after-dark adventure. My bestie Asia and I hit record while hiking down a mountain—in the pitch black. After a 4am return from a night out, we skipped our usual sunrise hike and went for a sunset climb instead. We made it to the semi-top, journaled under the Vegas sky, and got so deep in convo that the sun dipped before we knew it. Cue the flashlights, the chaos, and the deep laughs.Oh and halfway through, Asia’s mic said “peace out” 🥹 but you can still hear her (just with a little audio remix).Come hike with us, flashlights, feelings, and all.

Your favorite podcast bestie is dropping in midday and midweek to say hello and whew, what a vibe! Inspired by the trailer episode “The Landing Isn’t Always Soft”, I’m reflecting on resilience, seasonal shifts, and how to stay lit when the days get dark. It’s a Beaver Supermoon tonight, and we’re channeling that energy: prepping, protecting our peace, and pouring into ourselves. Plus, a combat class story you won’t believe (shoutout to Side Quest Sports!). Stick around ‘til the end… that’s where the real gems drop.
