shift happens | personal growth, self-reflection, and stories that shift your perspective
this isn’t your feel-good, fix-your-vibes podcast. this podcast calls you out, not just in. we talk real growth, real mindset shifts, and the hard, uncomfortable stuff no one wants to say out loud.
shift happens is where you go when you’re tired of your own bullsh!t. change is inevitable, but growth is a choice. life's "shift" storms aren’t going anywhere, but you get to choose how you show up when they hit.
you’ll get daily shift starters that’ll hit you with perspective before your first cup of coffee, and weekly episodes that dig into the real sh!t … identity, healing, chaos, and choosing growth when it’d be easier not to.
i’m kayla — your tough love bestie, mom of 5, and the voice in your ear when you’re ready to stop blaming life’s chaos and start using it as momentum. life handed me some pretty sh!tty cards over the years and that’s exactly why i’m so passionate about helping other women deal with theirs.

in this episode of shift happens, i’m joined by shelby, and we’re getting real about the messiness of co-parenting, healing from trauma, and trying to raise kids while still figuring out our own shit. shelby opens up about her past — addiction, dv, postpartum depression — and what it’s looked like trying to co-parent with someone who was part of that pain.
we talk about emotional triggers, setting boundaries, and why your mess isn’t someone else’s to clean up. this convo is raw, honest, and full of the kind of truth most people avoid. it’s about breaking cycles, doing the work, and refusing to let your past write your kids’ future. if you’ve ever felt stuck between your healing and your parenting, this one’s for you.
