shift happens | personal growth, self-reflection, and stories that shift your perspective
the name shift happens isn’t just "clever"… it’s intentional. because let’s be real: the only difference between “shift” and “sh!t” is one little letter. that “f” is your f — your focus, your fight, your follow-through. we all go through sh!t. the podcast is about what happens after that. do you stay stuck in the mess, or do you shift? that “f” is the choice. and this show is for people ready to make it. this podcast is the antidote to surface-level self-help and fake positivity that feels like empty promises and feel-good fluff. we don't do that here... we talk real growth, real mindset shifts, and the hard, uncomfortable stuff no one else will say out loud. you’ll get daily shift starters to hit you with perspective before your first cup of coffee, and weekly episodes that dig deep into 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.
