Episode 261: Alignment Is Worth More Than “On Time” | In a world that glorifies hustle, milestones and being “on time,” this episode is your permission slip to slow down and return to alignment over urgency. Shayla unpacks the cultural obsession with timelines and invites you to reflect on what truly feels right for you, not what looks good on paper.

Through personal stories, gentle mindset shifts and grounding practices, you'll be reminded that your life is not on a deadline. It’s unfolding exactly as it should. This conversation is especially for you if you’ve been feeling behind, questioning your timing or doubting your path.

Together, we’ll explore what alignment really feels like, how to tell when you’re out of sync with your truth and how to anchor back into trust, even in the in-between seasons. Plus, Shayla shares journaling prompts, affirmations and daily rituals to support you in staying grounded in your own pace and power.

Episode 254 PREVIEW: Expect the Unexpected & Never Say Never (Full Episode on Patreon) | This is a preview of a subscriber-only episode from Aligned Access, my sacred space on Patreon where we go deeper than ever before.

In this storytime-style episode, I share the wildly aligned (and slightly cinematic) moment a mystery man left a dozen roses and a handwritten note at my door… the same day I’d been vlogging about how men don’t just show up at your front door. It was hilarious, heart-opening and more than anything: a powerful sign.

We dive into manifestation, divine timing, why “birds before land” moments matter and how to trust the energetic breadcrumbs even when the full picture hasn’t arrived. It’s a reminder to stay open, surrender control and let yourself be surprised. Because anything is possible… and your desires might be closer than you think.

Episode 253: Return To The Mat | What if coming back to your practice didn’t require perfection, only presence? In this honest and heartfelt solo episode, Shayla reflects on her own journey of reconnecting with her yoga practice after a season of disconnection. Through personal stories, mindset shifts and gentle invitations, she reminds you that your mat is always waiting and you are always allowed to begin again.

This episode is an invitation to release the pressure to “do it right,” get clear on your why, re-enchant your rituals and build a gentle re-entry plan rooted in intention, not obligation. Whether you’ve been away for a week, a month, or a year, this is your permission slip to return; with softness, with love and with grace.
