THIS IS WHERE I LANDED With Shayla

Shayla

I’m Shayla — and this podcast isn’t a soft reintroduction anymore, it’s me walking boldly into the woman I’m becoming.  This is where I unpack what it really looks like to figure out life as a 30‑year‑old woman — my tastes, my boundaries, my walk with God, my evolution, and the glow up that comes with choosing myself on purpose. It’s where I turn my healing into art, my lessons into laughter, and my becoming into something honest, intentional, and beautifully mine.Each episode blends raw soulful storytelling, spiritual grounding, aesthetic strategy, and emotional truth. I talk God, growth, glow‑ups, crash outs, clarity, healing from trauma, boundaries, and the wild, gorgeous reality of becoming a woman who finally knows her voice — and uses it.No filters. No fluff. Just 100% real! If you’re rebuilding your life with intention, alignment, and a whole lot of audacity, welcome home — this is your landing space.

    What March Planted, April Will Bloom

    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.

    A Weekend of Little Joys

    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 message was all about grace — the grace of God — and I’m sitting in so much gratitude for His love. I’m thankful for this weekend, for the softness, for the reminders, and for the grace that carries me.

    Pressie Forever & 2,023 downloads!

    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.” - God Send us Fan Mail This Is Where I Landed with Shayla I’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.

    A Friend’s Eye View Ft. Tay

    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.

    When the Waves Come Back

    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.

    A Weekend of Vibes, A Week of Surrender

    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.

    Give Yourself the Credit You Deserve

    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. This episode is your reminder to remember exactly who you are and move accordingly.
