A Woman Is... Vital
A Woman Is...
03/08/23 • 24 min
Welcome to A Woman Is... podcast. This episode is an introduction to the podcast. Shayla breaks down the vision for this space.
A Woman Is... Podcast is on a journey -
To find out who we were meant to be all along.
To expose society’s attempts to diminish women.
To dismantle confusion with clarity on powerful womanhood.
To break down all the faux feminine caricatures and lies we’ve been told about women and dig deep to uncover what and who a woman is.
So that the generations to come will know the glory and power of fully female womanhood.
What have we forgotten about women that we need to remember?
Because it’s time to remind the world what and who a woman is, but first, we need to remind ourselves.
My heart is that these authentic conversations will lead us into deeper connection to ourselves, our female bodies, and other women.

Shayla and Andrea discuss creating easy and fun memories without burning out. Women are often driven to create memories for their families and friends, but the last thing we need is more stress to be a magical memory-making machine. Andrea is a married mom of two boys; family time means everything to her. She is a published author, speaker, and online content creator who loves to help women make their days easier and a lot more fun! Andrea embraces joy in everyday moments, whether preparing an easy meal, planning family travel, or sitting on her front porch. In this episode, she’s helping us all lighten up, say yes, and have fun.
We discuss everything from the Updykes’ adventure of traveling the country in their travel trailer during COVID-19 to planning easy family vacations, keeping food simple without sacrificing fun, and more.
