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 sitt...

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, end...

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 naviga...

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 c...

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’...

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 Madnes...

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 m...

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. Even when your circumstances don’t look ideal, even when the timing feels off, even when you’re tired. His promises s...

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...

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...

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’...

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‑...

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. 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. DAY. Settle in and enjoy the vibes ✨ Send us Fan Mail This Is Where I Landed with Shayla...

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 mor...

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 Atmo...

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 w...

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 br...

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 pettine...

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...

You are that guy, you are that girl, you are whomever you choose to be. Never forget that! 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...

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 Yo...

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. At some point, you have to stop letting things roll off your back and start honoring what you ne...

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 mastercla...

I’m recapping my weekend, starting with the Cardi B concert because listen, Cardi can do no wrong in my eyes. But even with all the fun, there were definitely a few hiccups throughout the night. This was also my first Valentine’s Day as a single woman, and honestly… it was lovely. Soft, intentional, and full of the kind of self‑love that actually sustains you. I’m pouring from a cup that’s full, n...
