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.

did this episode hit home? click here to send us a text, and you might hear your name!🤍
think happily ever after just happens when you meet the right person? yeah… no.
in this episode, i sit down with marriage + intimacy coach monica tanner—host of the Secrets of Happily Ever After podcast and author of Bad Marriage Advice—to unpack the truth about what actually keeps love alive. (hint: it’s not date nights or fancy vacations.)
we talk abandonment triggers, late-night spiral fights, the real work of rebuilding connection, and how to shift out of survival mode and into real intimacy. if you’ve ever found yourself apologizing just to keep the peace (or panicking the second your partner shuts down) this one’s gonna hit.
monica shares the exact tools she’s taught to thousands of couples to go from stuck and disconnected to safe, seen, and seriously in love again.
this isn’t about fixing your partner—it’s about owning your patterns, healing your stuff, and choosing intimacy on purpose.
ready to rewrite your love story? press play.
