  • Special Episode: Celebrating YOU x ME
    Feb 10 2026

    On this special episode of THE SHIFT we celebrate Ayla's forthcoming novel YOU x ME and talk about all things: hope, social connection and authentic living. In a world where we are sold, told, and fed things that are not in alignment with our values it is even more critical to root in our knowing. We discuss the parts of healing that are relational and how the greatest gift we can give each other is to witness and be witnessed.

    Join us for: Celebrating YOU x ME

    About the book:

    YOU x ME is a series of queer BIPOC love stories. Noura swipes right on Luna with a little help from her group-chat, Maryam and Nilou fall for each other between shared playlists, while Paz and Ale reminisce about the sweat-soaked dance floor of their youth. Set in cosmopolitan settings from Los Angeles to Montreal, each chapter can be read as an independent love story, though the book has a unifying thread of characters. This hot and hopeful contemporary romance offers escape, self-discovery, and a dose of glamor. As Maya Angelou encourages, this book calls readers to “have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.”

  • Being seen, from the inside-out
    Apr 15 2025

    We are all looking to be seen, understood, and witnessed. This, like most things, starts with us seeing ourselves. On today’s episode: Being seen, from the inside-out, we explore the ways we are needing to anchor in the parts of us wanting to take space, be validated and cared for. In a world where we are sold, told, and fed things that are not in alignment with our values it is even more critical to root in our knowing. We discuss the parts of healing that are relational and how the greatest gift we can give each other is to witness and be witnessed.

  • Don’t make it easier!
    Mar 11 2025

    On today’s episode: Don’t make it easier!, we discuss why taking away our uncomfortable feelings is doing us a disservice.


    Don’t waste your pain, use it, learn from it, and shift it. We build muscles by spotting, not by coddling ourselves or each other. Learn the art of holding space and witnessing ourselves and each other through hard times. Reframe motivation from hustle culture to an anchored compass, drawing you towards your desires and values.
