Shayla Simms Coaching

I hear you & what you overcame… but the work is not done. To live your full life you’ll need to unlearn somethings, stop neglecting pieces of you, heal & BELIEVE good things exist for you too…

Don’t be so caught up in the end result that you miss the gains…

Check that inner dialogue & make sure you take time to highlight where you started.

Not an excuse to lose your hunger but some fuel to keep you showing up…

Today the clock beat me, but ya girl is getting closer & stronger.

Be proud of yourself before the accomplishment, be proud of yourself for what people can’t see YET 😉

I had plans for today but God said unh unh I need you to uproot this fear…

For the moments where we compare ourselves to a previous version of ourselves.

For the moments we question our capabilities.

Lean in to understand what that feeling is rooted in… I found myself last night frustrated anticipating the closing of schools. I knew what I planned to accomplish was ☠️

The prob isn’t in having that thought the problem is in what I MAKE that thought mean…

Fear, comparison and scarcity mentality tell me that I’ll never be able to manage being a MoM &, that I’m behind - I should be better prepared, what the hell was I thinking, this isn’t possible 🥴

I hear those thoughts but Its a choice to accept them, I recognize they may always be there taunting asking me to play victim. These voices are present for everyone at every level it’s a matter of how you manage it, how much power you give it.

So today,
I will tame those thoughts 🖕🏽

And what I don’t get done I won’t maKe that mean anything but get after it again tomorrow.

I will trust that what God has for me is for me, what I need to learn along the way will be learned & rest/slower days will not make or break me. 🕊🌱💫

It would be easy to stay in whatever your current reality/behavior is, it’s actually harder to walk away/🌱. Fear of the unknown starts setting in, past traumas come pounding at the 🚪, insecurities you thought you overcame reveal themselves again…

Choose the area of discomfort & sometimes that looks like…

🌱Asking for help
🌱Going to therapy
🌱Being vulnerable
🌱Using your voice
🌱Exploring Love
🌱Having hard conversations
🌱Making your decisions, not others
🌱Choosing self discovery
🌱Choosing time
🌱Asking hard questions
🌱Dressing up
🌱Choosing forgiveness
🌱Speaking your truth
🌱Walking away from job…relationship

Make 2022 about vulnerability, wholeness & healing not solely performance✌🏽🕊
I 🙏🏽 you grow 😘

Tell me, what area of discomfort will you explore? For me it’s vulnerability ❤️

🎄when the tree decorated by the kids looks better than the tree decorated by the adults 👀☕️

I love their tree ❤️ that they decorated with no extra thought just put this here and here and ok bye.

What I learned:
Simplify
Their in charge of decor next year 😂

My spin on this concept - Don't be afraid to throw⁠ the damn ball! Recognize that someone else's glass ball isn't yours. ⁠
⁠
annnnd in case you need to hear it your career is a rubber ball. ⁠
⁠
The impact one person's words can have... Nora Roberts is who I traced this concept down to, but I received it from someone I worked with only to apply it years later... after hearing it again through a podcast.⁠
⁠
How many of us hear the information but don't feeeeel the information until years later... ⁠
⁠
Talk to me, what balls are glass for you? What balls are we throwing to get back our time, peace, and clarity?⁠
⁠

When they share it warms my heart
😍❤️😭

There is sooo much power in healing…
Not healing is holding you back from exactly what you desire.

I’ve had this necklace since high school…
It serves as a reminder of a promise I made myself…

I paced back & forth around this stand in philly, we were there for penn relays 🏃🏽‍♀️

I was good for not eating to save 💵
But I questioned if this was a responsible purchase…I repeatedly stated I do not need this…

But I wanted it, I wanted the luxury of purchasing something simply because I wanted it and not fear that my purchase would leave me broke, busted & disgusted.
It was deeper than the necklace, it was a desire for financial freedom, a diff life not just for me but for my fam, my future fam…

$10, a $10 purchase had a grip on me…

I bought it as a statement, that one day this wouldn’t be my reality…

And it isn’t!
but I’m not done & I’m taking you with me

Yesterday I launched my first group coaching program, one of the members was there with me as I grappled with this purchase in high school.

Now I get to help her see possibility, gain clarity, reclaim her self-identity, strip what isn’t serving her & focus on HER path…

I get to witness one hell of a transformation 🐛🦋

How do you change your story?
⚡️GET REAL INTENTIONAL⚡️

🌱Get on a path of self-reflection/ self-discovery

🌱Check what your consuming, is it inspiring you, promoting growth/healing or shrinking you?

🌱Who you talking to? Who are you spending time with? What’s the context of your conversations? Are you showing up as you or pieces of you?

🌱How’s your energy? Are you pouring into yourself or depleting your stores? Do you have open space on your calendar? You will never have clarity on what YOU want if you don’t spend time with yourself (thoughts, feelings included)

🌱Create a vision from the insight you gain

🌱CREATE the environment you need to POSITION yourself

🌱Commit to action, even when it’s scary

Unfulfilled, Not at peace, wanting more, tired of being tired, work-life balance a beast

You are responsible for that, that’s your work

Need direction - some🔥, need to stay focused, gain clarity, see yourself, accountability, overcome fear, shift your mindset, grow through this process…

⚡️That’s what a life coach is for⚡️

Those skills can be developed
I want to see you thriving in life
