THIS IS WHERE I LANDED With Shayla

Wheewww! Buckle up and ride this one out with me to the very end—because your girl had a real-time epiphany and revelation that shook me to my core. We’ve stepped into the month of THANKSGIVING, and let me tell you: gratitude really is the best attitude! It’s November 1st, and I’m looking back at October like… whew, you tried it. That month had hands! October became my month of obedience and pruni...

Literally, every day I’m making progress toward creating the life I want to live for myself. Shoutout to Taylor—my friend poured life into me yesterday, and it helped slap me back into reality. For that, I’m so grateful. This episode is a real evolution—a beautiful display of my growth since starting this podcast. Obedience will take you further than anything. Listen and obey, and God will do the...

This episode is giving catchup with your bestie vibes! I’m so happy the weekend is here! Your girl is rambling about a few topics—enjoy! I’m sharing my Friday night plans and a big shoutout to Justice Jackson and The Distribution Company here in Vegas! Vibe Distribution curates the dopest events for the people and for the culture, and I LOVE a live DJ set 🙌🏽 And y’all—it’s EPISODE 10! That’s div...

The Healer Within 3-part series will go down in THIS IS WHERE I LANDED history. I recorded this episode Monday morning, prior to re-recording parts 2 & 3 with Fay due to issues with the original audio—and the conversation she and I had about pouring out of an empty glass. Per usual, I’m keeping it 100 in hopes that something lands with you. Life is all about the lessons and how they grow and s...

First, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to Fay—for her light, knowledge, healing, growth, and time. This 3-part series has been a true blessing to me, and I hope it’s brought something meaningful to you on the other side of this audio. In Part 3, we go deep. This conversation is raw, real, and it moved me to tears. We talk about pouring from an empty glass, root cause analysis, and how to STOP...

We’re back for part 2 with Fay’s Flower—and it’s time for the question and answer segment! Due to audio issues, we’re back and re-recording this much needed Q&A It all started with one question: “I’m recording with a holistic practitioner tonight—Therapist, Reiki Master, Yoga instructor, Sound healer. If you could ask her anything, what would it be?” Fay’s answers? Blunt, bold, and exactly my...

From day one, Fay has been one of my biggest supporters and a daily listener—so it’s only right that I finally bring her into the closet and on the mic! In this special 3-part series, we’re joined by the radiant Fay’s Flower: a Therapist, Reiki Master, Yoga Instructor, and Sound Healer whose energy is as healing as her practice. This episode is more than a conversation—it’s a soulful journey. What...

Whewwww! Last night was a whole vibe. Major love to the Las Vegas Aces for showing out for the city—y’all did not come to play! Crime Mob, Mýa, and LUDACRIS?! Ludacris was the highlight of my night, hands down. 10/10, no notes. The energy was electric, the DJ understood the assignment, and your girl was dancing through the city like joy was her birthright. This episode is a full-circle reminder of...

Your girl is back in the closet and rambling again which is a great sign! Everyday is different but everyday I am making progress to create the life I want to live for myself.  In this episode, I’m leaning all the way into my superpower: transparency. We’re talking bold clarity, boundary-honoring honesty, and the kind of truth that lets the light in without dimming your shine. I’m dropping gems, c...

It’s a Parade Inside My City, YEAHHH! The Las Vegas Aces are your 2025 WNBA Champions! 🎉 I still can’t believe I saw 10 out of the 13 teams live this year—and getting to catch a New York Liberty game in New York with my cousin? Top-tier memory.  This was the best WNBA season yet. Period. Let’s be real: PAY THEM WHAT YOU OWE THEM. The talent, the grit, the growth—it’s unmatched. And now, all eyes...

This episode is a heart check for anyone waking up anxious, feeling unsettled, or searching for peace in the middle of the storm. I’m sharing a raw and reflective testimony about surrender, patience, and the power of trusting God in the waiting season. No schedule, no pressure, just Spirit-led storytelling when the moment feels right. If you’ve been rushing your healing, suppressing your emotions,...

Hello, hello!  Out of the closet and into the living room in a deep hip stretch—your girl is BACK! I hope that you, on the other side of this audio, have been taking care of yourself since we left off. Life has been overwhelming lately for so many reasons, and I’ve been locked in with God and myself. I’ve got a testimony to share, and I pray it lands with whoever needs a little encouragement today...

First, THANK YOU!!  This finale is a love letter—to every listener, every repost, every DM, every prayer. Thank you. Truly. I’ve poured my heart into this, and I’ve felt it pour right back into me. That’s God. That’s purpose. This episode is a catch-up with your homegirl and a full-circle recap of Season 1. We’re talking my weekend solo self-care date, WNBA Semi Finals, THE 4X MVP A’ja Wilson, chu...

The waves of grief hit hard in this one—and the vulnerability is at an all-time high. Fresh off a work trip to Colorado and 10+ hours of sleep, I’m back in the closet, energy up, vibes high… but yesterday, grief cracked me wide open. And I’m grateful for it. This episode is about release. About letting the ache move through you so joy can find its way back in. On this lovely Saturday I’m choosing...

🔔 Trigger Warning This episode contains discussions of murder and violence. Listener discretion is advised. What is justice? What is criminal justice reform? Is it accountability? Is it truth? Is it centering the victim and their family—not the criminal? Today, I walked out of court after delivering impact statements alongside my family. The judge looked us in the eye and admitted—with his own wo...

🔔 Trigger Warning This episode contains discussions of murder and violence. Listener discretion is advised. Have you ever met someone with a light so bright it inspires you? Have you ever met someone whose love is so genuine it changes you for the better?  What is justice? Is it accountability? Is it truth-telling? Is it centering the victim and their family—not the criminal? What is criminal jus...

🔔 Trigger Warning This episode contains discussions of murder and violence. Listener discretion is advised. A few days ago, I recorded an episode that took an unexpected but necessary turn. What sat heavy on my heart—how the criminal justice system often forgets victims and their families—needed to be said. I’m using my platform to speak on behalf of my brother and my father. Before releasing par...

Sometimes you won’t get the “why.” And that’s okay. Life doesn’t always hand you the answers, but you keep flowing, trusting that everything happens for a reason—even if you’re still searching for it. I’m so happy you’ve landed here with me. Don’t give up. Go back and listen to episode 25, God’s Timing—because THIS is where I landed. If you could sit across from your past self, what would you say?...

I’ve landed in Colorado for the week! Took a 3.5-mile walk that was lowkey a hike with my corporate bestie, and now your girl is congested—thanks, allergies. Enjoy! I needed a change of scenery, and of course, God’s timing is perfect. This episode is part recap, part motivational speech. Prayer and manifestation are real, and when you pray—be specific. Faith the size of a mustard seed is all you n...

Being a woman? Not for the faint of heart. The first day of your cycle will have you ready to crash out, question reality, and call your bestie just to confirm you’re still sane. I woke up on the crash out list and had to phone Fran—because laughing while crying is wild, but hormones don’t care. Why do my knees hurt? Why do my legs hurt? The math isn’t mathing. This episode is a full-on RANT! A pe...

We’re landing on dating tonight. Healing from my first adult heartbreak has been fun (NOT), and I’ve sat with myself and reflected A LOT. How do you want to be loved? Have you ever sat and thought about that? What type of love do you want? I want a love where I can communicate, where we can converse and come to an understanding. What are your nonnegotiables? Have you thought about that? Dating is...

EP. 22 is kind of crazy to see!! Back from Ohio and already counting down to Colorado—this episode drops in the middle of a 72-hour whirlwind, rooftop post-yoga, still in a hip stretch, and yes… someone was casually sipping coffee on the other side of the roof the entire time 😂 He walked by right after I wrapped recording, and honestly? I hope he was locked in. This one’s late, but it’s full of e...

Happy Friday! The vibes are high and the laughter is flowing—we’re landing on a few different topics this episode, and the gems? Too good. You’re welcome in advance. I recently listened to a sermon titled “Don’t Crash Out” and whew… it hit me. I realized I’d been crashing out without even noticing. Sometimes our emotions take the wheel and we spiral—just a little (okay, a lot). So let’s talk about...

We love confirmation! Episode 20 is just for YOU . Don’t put a period where God put a comma. I said that wrong during the episode—charge it to my head, not my heart. Listening back to this over dinner, solo on my work trip, and tearing up at how I spoke about my past self. We’re stepping over fear and stepping out on faith! If you’ve been in a season of fear, remember: all feelings are temporary....
