THIS IS WHERE I LANDED With Shayla

Consider this our weekly check‑in. I’m catching you up on my work week, unpacking the WNBA’s CBA negotiations (or the lack thereof), and getting into the Unrivaled 1v1 tournament because… whew, there’s a lot to say. I’m also sharing my Valentine’s Day plans, my upcoming Cardi B concert moment, and answering our very first listener question of the season. If you’ve got something you want me to talk...

Live a little, babe, life is too short to be stressed and serious all the time. I’m talking fun, new experiences, new people, new energy. Drake said it best: you only live once. This episode is a full weekend recap: Friday night out work my girls which turned into the longest but most fun weekend, trying new hairstyles and unlocking new characters, the Bunny Bowl, dancing as therapy, and a whole l...

Mental health days matter. Full stop. With the world doing the most, this is your reminder to slow down, check in, and take care of you — and your people. This episode is a heart check, a vibe check, and a reality check for whoever’s listening on the other side. I’m talking self‑awareness, community, humanity, and all the things we forget when life gets loud. If you’ve been running on fumes, this...

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...

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...

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 s...

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, groun...

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...

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 sho...

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 stoo...

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 se...

⚠️ 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, d...

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...

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?...

Fresh off a night out in true NYC fashion, we’re celebrating 1,000 downloads with Deion and Maya in The 1K Special! This milestone episode brings two vibrant voices to the mic—both 25, both rooted in the greatest city in the world, New York City. Deion and Maya are two beautiful souls navigating the chaos of life while staying grounded in their faith, their purpose, and in God. In this episode, yo...

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 tea...

WE HIT 1,000 DOWNLOADS!!! On Thanksgiving of all days — tell me God doesn’t have favorites, because He shows me daily. Over 100 cities, 20+ countries, and I’m just sitting here thankful for every single one of you. I’m walking through Central Park (you know your girl loves a good park trip) and the sounds of the city are everything. Follow the pod on IG for pictures and videos of the views! @lande...

Abundant.  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. Step into your power, step into your softness, and choose the version of you that feels aligned, peaceful, and undeniable. I want to hear from you, email me landedpod@gmail.com Let’s connect on...

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...

We are officially on the road to 1,000 downloads—at the time of recording we’re sitting at 938! How exciting is that?! A celebration is definitely in order because your girl is proud of herself. 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...

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 abou...

We’re officially on the countdown, y’all—910 downloads and counting! Your girl is feeling better and I had to share this because WOW, what a huge accomplishment. I’m so proud! 47 episodes in and you’ve been showing up and showing out! THIS IS WHERE I LANDED with Shayla has been the most creative and therapeutic outlet for me, and such an amazing learning experience. I’m beyond grateful for YOU—on...

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 upp...

⚠️ 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-to...

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 cla...
