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?”
