    Life Lately: God, Growth & a New Era

    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: Shaylamonay See you over there, Landers! 🫶🏾 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.

    Politics, Economics & A Whole Lotta WTF

    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 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.

    Airport Vibes San Diego Edition | Birthday Trip Recap Pt. 3

    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 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.

    I Think I Fell in Love With San Diego 😅 | Birthday Trip Recap Pt. 2

    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 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.

    BRB, I’m Moving to San Diego 😂 | Birthday Trip Recap Pt. 1

    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!

    If you can huh, you can Hear!

    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. THING. ✨ 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.

    This is America??????

    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?

    What 31 Already Taught Me!

    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 📖 OUTFOX And 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 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.
