Welcome to Small Talk with Sheila, where the mundane meets the magical in the most delightful and humorous ways! Imagine Bridget Jones had a self-help podcast, and you’re pretty close to the charming chaos that is Sheila’s world. In each episode, Sheila takes you on a journey through her daily adventures, reflecting on everything from her self-help obsession to the peculiarities of her neighbors (including that one who always flips her off). With a blend of wit, warmth, and wisdom, Sheila shares the stories and life lessons that have shaped her into the person she is today.

    I Loved Myself & Finally Said I'm Done

    You know that line in Bridget Jones's Diary… when Mark Darcy says, “I like you very much, just the way you are”? Yeah. We all melt.But here’s the real question: Do you?In this episode, we’re talking about self-love. Not the Instagram version. Not the bubble baths and face masks (although we love those too). I’m talking about the real, grounded, sometimes hard version of self-love. The kind that shows up when everything is falling apart. I share the story of the moment I finally chose myself. After years of back and forth, leaving and returning, I reached a point where I didn’t need someone else to stay… because I had finally stayed for me.We talk: Why self-love isn’t just “treating yourself”… it’s consistency and self-devotion The difference between caring for yourself and being kind to yourself (you need both) How self-love gives you the strength to walk away from what no longer serves you A simple but powerful exercise using a photo of your younger self CHAPTERS: 00:00 Self love question do you love yourself?01:00 Story choosing yourself after repeated heartbreak02:30 Building habits that led to self love04:00 Choosing yourself and walking away fully04:45 What self love actually looks like06:00 Consistency devotion and being kind to yourself07:00 Practicing self love on hard days08:30 Healing reconnecting and loving yourself again10:00 Final message self love is daily practice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smalltalkwith_sheilaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@smalltalkwithsheilaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@smalltalkwithsheilaI also share one of the books that supported me during this time: Radical Awakening. If you’re in a season of coming back to yourself, it’s a powerful one.And yes… I recorded this episode on one of those days. Nothing working. Camera issues. Internet down. Fully not in the mood. And still… I showed up. For you, but more importantly, for me. Because that’s what self-love looks like in real life.We also talk about Sex and the City, the movie— specifically Carrie after everything falls apart, and how her assistant Louise (played by Jennifer Hudson) helps her come back to herself. That’s the kind of love we’re building here.You can choose yourself… right now.If this episode landed for you, share it with your friends. Send it to someone who needs a reminder to stop abandoning themselves. Send it to someone who needs to come back home to who they are.And I mean it… I want to see little you. Send me your baby photos. DM me. Email me. Drop them in the comments. I want to know: what does loving that version of you look like? 🤍Watch the romcom live:Or email me directly at sheila@smalltalkwithsheila.comEnd Credits "rolling like a romcom"Production and audience development by PodVisionCreated, written, and hosted by Sheila KazanExecutive Producer of Her Own Life: Also Sheila KazanEmotional Support and Occasional Reality Check: Hezi (my husband)Tiny but Mighty Energy: Love (my pup)No bubble baths were required in the making of this episode.

    You Are the Main Character (So Start Acting Like It)

    Hey, it’s me. You know that moment in a movie where everything shifts? Where she realizes… wait. This is my life. Not the background character. Not the side plot. Not waiting to be chosen. The main character. In this episode, we are stepping fully into main character energy. The truth is, you are not just the main character of your life. You are also the writer. No one hands you the role. You decide how the story goes. You choose what happens next.We talk: Dating the wrong guy and finally admitting itThe quiet ways we live for our parents… and how to stopWhy waiting for permission keeps you stuck as the side character in your own lifeThe moment you decide, “this is my life,” and everything shiftsPracticing being the main character in small, everyday momentsAnd yes… I share the moment. Me. In a cowboy hat. In the desert. Telling my ex that I was going to live a fabulous life with or without him. I meant it. Whether you are in a season of change, craving more, or just need a little reminder of who you are, this episode is your permission slip to step into the role that has always been yours. If this episode landed for you, share it with your friends. Send it to someone who needs a reminder that their life is not on pause. Share it with someone who is ready to stop playing small.

    Glow Up Without Getting Your Heart Broken

    Hey, it’s me. I’m back.Every great romcom has that moment. She gets dumped. She stares at herself in the mirror. She throws away the junk food. She washes her face. She hits the gym. Cue the montage. Cue the glow up. Cue the watch me now. But what if you did not need the heartbreak to become her?In this first episode of the Glow Up Era, we are talking about personal reinvention, confidence, self growth, and main character energy without waiting for a crisis to force your hand. Because breakups do not magically transform us. They simply make us pay attention. I break down the four emotional phases of a breakup, from shock to chaos to rot to rebuild, and we pull the blueprint hiding inside them. No shattered heart required. Just intention. Awareness. And a little something I like to call Sheila Science. We talk: Decluttering your space like your future depends on itSaying yes again, especially when life feels comfortableWhy revenge glow ups are really about self respect(And yes, I share the Facebook Messenger divorce story that accidentally led to the best chapter of my life.)Whether you are blissfully in love, comfortably coasting, healing from heartbreak, or quietly craving more, this episode is your reminder that you do not need a breakdown to have a breakthrough. You just need to decide to notice your life again. Resources MentionedThe Year of Yes by Shonda RhimesHighly recommend the audiobook. It is about saying yes to the life that scares you in the best way. If this episode landed for you, share it with the friend who just got dumped. Share it with the friend who is very happy but maybe a little comfortable. Share it with anyone who deserves dewy skin, bold decisions, and main character energy. Send me your glow up stories. I am collecting them. We are using them as fuel.

    What I've Been Listening To: Creation Myth

    Hey you, it’s me… If you’ve been in a reflective season lately, questioning things you thought you were sure about, this one might hit a little deeper. Whenever I share something here, it’s because it feels aligned. Like the kind of conversation that lingers after you turn it off. The kind that makes you sit with yourself a minute longer than you planned to. This is one of those. Today I’m sharing a special preview from the new season of Personally from CBC Podcasts called Creation Myth. Helena has always been clear. She does not want kids. She’s never felt maternal. She’s built a full life that fits her beautifully. Kid. Child. Baby. Not for her. So why is she suddenly obsessed with parenthood? Why is she asking her friends with children for every tiny detail? Why is she circling the question now, in her forties, when the door is almost closed? What you’re about to hear is just part of the episode. And I highly recommend listening to the full story because it goes so much deeper — into identity, biology, culture, freedom, pressure, and what happens when certainty starts to wobble. It’s intimate. It’s thoughtful. It’s the kind of conversation that stays with you. Grab a coffee. Go for a walk. Let yourself think. ✨Listen to the full episode of Creation Myth here:https://link.mgln.ai/CMxST ✨And don’t forget to follow my romcomInstagram https://www.instagram.com/smalltalkwithsheilaYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@smalltalkwithsheilaTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@smalltalkwithsheila My romcom of a life continues. 🤍 New episodes coming March 4th.

    What I’ve Been Listening To: Love-ly

    Hey you 🤍 If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been on a little hiatus of my own. Resting. Resetting. Living a little more quietly. And honestly, listening. Don’t worry. I’m coming back with my own glow up on March 4th. Whenever I step away, I always come back with conversations that feel intentional. The kind that make you pause and think, yes… this is the energy I want for the year. This is one of those. Today I’m sharing a Love-ly episode from Mehak that feels like the first real conversation of 2026. She dives into personal dating updates, the rise of friction maxxing, and why choosing the inconvenient path might actually be the one that leads to deeper connection. She also touches on the internet’s obsession with Tamara’s 365 Buttons and why Heated Rivalry has completely taken over her FYP. It’s reflective. It’s cultural. It’s light but thoughtful. And it might just inspire your first 2026 obsession. Grab a drink. Get cozy. Let’s ease into something that feels real. ✨ Follow Mehak on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/whathemehak_/ Listen to the Love-ly podcasthttps://pod.link/1792981568 ✨ And don’t forget to follow my romcom Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/smalltalkwith_sheila YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@smalltalkwithsheila TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@smalltalkwithsheila March 4.

    Let’s Talk About Abundance (and the Cookie Jar Theory)

    What if abundance isn’t something you manifest, but something you practice? In today’s episode, Sheila breaks down the concept of abundance in a way that actually makes sense. We start with a wild dream about her friend Sylvie (and a very full table), and use it as a jumping-off point to talk about lack, jealousy, action, timing — and cookies. Yes, cookies. This episode is about learning to recognize where you’re feeling lack, trusting that the universe isn’t running out of good things, and understanding how belief, action, and patience all work together. Light your Sheila Candle, grab a drink (and maybe a cookie), and let’s Sheila Science abundance.
