shift happens | personal growth, self-reflection, and stories that shift your perspective
i’m kayla, your podcast host. life handed me stories i never expected… like discovering family secrets, surprise relatives, becoming a mom before i was ready, enough therapy to fill a book, and carrying grief that quietly shaped who i am.
and if i learned one thing through it all, it’s this: change is inevitable, but growth is a choice.
we can stay stuck in the sh!t… or we can find our “F” (our fight + our follow-through) and shiFt through what we go through.
shift happens is your no-BS space for candid conversations and honest reflections that push you to own your story, face the hard truths, and keep moving forward (together).
because at the end of the day, the question isn’t “why did it happen”... it’s “what are you gonna do about it?”

ep 20 | the real secret to happily ever after (spoiler: it’s not what you think) w/ monica tanner
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.
