In this episode, Sheila invites us to practice deep forgiveness — both for ourselves and for others. She reminds us that many of the decisions we made in the past were made from the level of awareness, maturity, and standards we had at that time. Those choices may not align with who we are today, and that’s okay. Growth means evolving beyond old decisions, not carrying shame for them.But forgiveness doesn’t stop with us. Sheila teaches that we must also forgive others — not to excuse their behavior, but to release the emotional weight we’ve been carrying. Forgiving others frees your spirit, clears your mind, and opens the door to peace.And peace is essential for creating the life you love.This episode is your reminder to let go of old stories, stop ruminating, and give yourself permission to grow. Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Release what no longer serves you. You are becoming a stronger, wiser, more grounded version of yourself — and peace is your new standard.

In this episode, Family Law Attorney Jamie Britt Paine and Sheila open up a powerful conversation about the real work of becoming whole. Together, they explore childhood trauma, toxic positivity, energetic boundaries, people‑pleasing, self‑love, and the healing journey.They also discuss what it means to thrive — not just survive — and the daily choices women can make to protect their peace, strengthen their resilience, and “wildly thrive” in every season of life.This is an engaging, heartfelt, and supportive dialogue about the challenges women face and the strength we carry as we grow through them.

Episode 55 is all about becoming unbothered and releasing yourself from the grip of people pleasing. Sheila breaks down how people pleasing often comes from trying to manage other people’s opinions, criticisms, and emotional reactions. She identifies the subtle ways people manipulate, guilt‑trip, or criticize you just to get what they want — and how they later place the blame back on you.But here’s the truth: your loving, kind nature isn’t the issue. It’s the reason they had access to you in the first place. And now, it’s time to reclaim that access.Sheila reminds us that it’s time to look at the people in your life objectively, not subjectively. A title — father, son, brother, friend — does not automatically grant someone access to your peace, your energy, or your emotional space. Access must be earned, not assumed.This episode is your invitation to release yourself from the expectations of others, protect your peace, and move through life unbothered — not because you don’t care, but because you finally care about yourself.

This is the very first Lovin’ Sheila Catch Up. It’s my space to pause, reflect, and expand on the conversations we’ve been having on the podcast — to share the ‘why,’ offer encouragement, and speak directly to the women who need it.In this Catch Up, I talk about repurposing our pain so we can help other women heal and soar. That was the takeaway from my conversation with Ama Karikari. Even though the topic was difficult, it was necessary. I’ve moved beyond much of the pain and disappointment of my past, but I know there are women who are living through it right now. I stand with them — reminding every woman that on the other side, there is happiness, healing, and hope.We also revisit my conversation with Kiana and Andrew Joyner and highlight the importance of financial compatibility. It’s a crucial part of choosing aligned partnership.I introduce the ‘Let Them Theory’ — but emphasize that the most important part is the Let Me. Let me grow, let me heal, let me choose differently, let me create the life I want.And that’s the heart of it: we must keep working on creating the life we want to live. Start by falling in love with yourself and your life. From there… believe, trust, and create

In this episode, I sit down with Kiana and Andrew Joyner of Soul Journey Project to unpack the real dynamics that create disconnection, resentment, and communication breakdowns in relationships. We explore the deeper patterns beneath the surface — identity, emotional safety, nervous system healing, and the inner work required for soul‑aligned partnership. If you’re ready to understand love on a deeper level, this conversation is for you.

This is an important and eye‑opening episode. Ama K. Karikari joins me to talk about emotional abuse — and we go straight to one of the most overlooked forms: the silent treatment. We break down the damage it causes, the confusion it creates, and how women can finally be free from its grip.Ama defines what the silent treatment really is and explains why all forms of abuse — emotional, financial, physical — are rooted in manipulation and control. From there, we talk about the path forward: healing, sisterhood, and reclaiming your voice.Ama also shares her workbook and her Sister Soaring group, offering tools and community for women ready to rise.

Sometimes, even after we’ve healed, we still slip back into our factory setting of survival mode.Don’t be too hard on yourself — you’re human.Healing isn’t linear. You may take a few detours.But stay the course. Don’t lose heart.Build a network of support.Know who to call.Know who truly has you.That’s one of the tools that keeps you out of survival mode…and firmly in your Soft Girl Era.

Are you healed… or emotionally unavailable?In this episode, I break down the real difference between the two — because many of us confuse “protecting our peace” with avoiding connection. Healing is supposed to make us more available, not more closed off.We talk about boundaries, fear, vulnerability, the tightrope between readiness and avoidance, and how to ease yourself back into emotional availability with wisdom and discernment.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re healed or hiding… this one is for you.Topics in this episode: • Healing vs. emotional unavailability• Boundaries vs. avoidance• Fear of disappointment• Becoming emotionally available again• The “minutes restriction” of re‑entering relationships• Self‑awareness and calling yourself out• Beauty for ashes — opening up againSubscribe for more: healing, identity, purpose, relationships, and becoming whole.A

We start with the truth that not everyone will see you — and sometimes it’s the people closest to you who overlook you. The Bible reminds us that a prophet is without honor in their own country, and that reality can create real angst.But here’s the shift:Don’t fight to be seen.Don’t beg for recognition.Maybe that’s simply not the group you’re called to serve.Shake it off and stay available to the people who are assigned to your voice.And once we settle that, we move into the heart of the episode: making sure your vision is clear. I’m sharing 5 practical tips to keep your vision unclouded and your purpose protected.
