  • Great Potential but Poor Follow-Through

    I’ve followed Kayla’s career for years and have always loved her humor, resilience, and eloquence, which is why this has been disappointing. The first few episodes were genuinely strong and the format worked well, but the lack of consistency and absence of engagement with listeners has made it hard to stay invested. It’s difficult to build a community when your audience feels ignored. Because of this, I’m leaving 2 stars. I hope the podcast finds its footing again ❤️

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beauty, Brains & BODY with Confidence Queen Achieng Agutu
Q: For the game plan, for any woman that's listening who is still learning how to love herself out loud, what would you say to her directly?
Two core ideas: first, the joy will come back in a beautiful, undeniable way, so hold on to the belief that you will regain your spark. Second, you have to live life for yourself and be a little bit selfish with your happiness, because you are the one who will always show up for you.
Bozoma Saint John on Building Brands, Beverly Hills & How to Be Your Boldest Self
Q: What encouragement could you give to women listening now who feel like it's too late to pivot or chase a dream?
Her advice is pragmatic and urgent: don't wait for perfect conditions, save a cushion, but don't waste time overthinking; pursue the pivot today and believe in your own value.
LIVE! On Stage with Toni Braxton.
Q: How do you get over friendship betrayal and breakups?
The host advises separating the actions from the person, forgiving to heal, and choosing quality friendships over staying attached to hurt, with emphasis on communication and boundaries.
How to Be a (Reformed) Heartbreaker with Harry Jowsey
Q: How has fame changed your approach to dating and life?
It made me more reflective and intentional about growth, focusing on balance between public persona and private authenticity.
How to Be a (Reformed) Heartbreaker with Harry Jowsey
Q: What did therapy teach you about relationships?
Therapy helped me understand that love should be trust and fun, not constant conflict or hurt, and it encouraged unlearning unhealthy patterns from my upbringing.
