Small Talk with Sheila

Hey it’s me.In this bonus episode I’m sharing why I went on a short hiatus and what was happening behind the scenes.Sometimes the most romcom thing you can do is pause, reset, and come back even more excited for what’s ahead.If you’ve ever needed to step away from something you love in order to realign with yourself, this episode is for you.Watch the romcom live:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smalltalkwith_sheilaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@smalltalkwithsheilaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@smalltalkwithsheilaOr email me directly at [email protected] romcom is just getting started.

Hey you, it’s me…If you’ve been in a reflective season lately, questioning things you thought you were sure about, this one might hit a little deeper.Whenever I share something here, it’s because it feels aligned. Like the kind of conversation that lingers after you turn it off. The kind that makes you sit with yourself a minute longer than you planned to. This is one of those.Today I’m sharing a special preview from the new season of Personally from CBC Podcasts called Creation Myth.Helena has always been clear. She does not want kids. She’s never felt maternal. She’s built a full life that fits her beautifully. Kid. Child. Baby. Not for her.So why is she suddenly obsessed with parenthood?Why is she asking her friends with children for every tiny detail? Why is she circling the question now, in her forties, when the door is almost closed?What you’re about to hear is just part of the episode. And I highly recommend listening to the full story because it goes so much deeper — into identity, biology, culture, freedom, pressure, and what happens when certainty starts to wobble.It’s intimate. It’s thoughtful. It’s the kind of conversation that stays with you.Grab a coffee. Go for a walk. Let yourself think.✨Listen to the full episode of Creation Myth here:https://link.mgln.ai/CMxST✨And don’t forget to follow my romcomInstagram https://www.instagram.com/smalltalkwithsheilaYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@smalltalkwithsheilaTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@smalltalkwithsheilaMy romcom of a life continues. 🤍 New episodes coming March 4th.

I’m coming back with my own glow up on March 4th.Whenever I step away, I always come back with conversations that feel intentional. The kind that make you pause and think, yes… this is the energy I want for the year.This is one of those.Today I’m sharing a Love-ly episode from Mehak that feels like the first real conversation of 2026.She dives into personal dating updates, the rise of friction maxxing, and why choosing the inconvenient path might actually be the one that leads to deeper connection. She also touches on the internet’s obsession with Tamara’s 365 Buttons and why Heated Rivalry has completely taken over her FYP.It’s reflective. It’s cultural. It’s light but thoughtful.And it might just inspire your first 2026 obsession.Grab a drink. Get cozy.

What if abundance isn’t something you manifest, but something you practice?In today’s episode, Sheila breaks down the concept of abundance in a way that actually makes sense. We start with a wild dream about her friend Sylvie (and a very full table), and use it as a jumping-off point to talk about lack, jealousy, action, timing — and cookies. Yes, cookies.This episode is about learning to recognize where you’re feeling lack, trusting that the universe isn’t running out of good things, and understanding how belief, action, and patience all work together.Light your Sheila Candle, grab a drink (and maybe a cookie), and let’s Sheila Science abundance.CHAPTERS00:00 A dream about abundance and a message from the universe02:35 Welcome to Small Talk with Sheila03:45 What abundance actually means (and why we need to talk about lack first)05:10 A real-life story about jealousy, being chosen, and hidden lack08:40 The Cookie Theory of abundance 🍪12:15 Why nature reminds us that abundance is everywhere14:05 Manifesting vs. taking action (real talk)17:30 You have to go to the cookie jar19:40 Timing, patience, and trusting the process24:10 Final thoughts: belief, action, patience26:00 How to support the show + closing cookie momentFOR MORE SHEILA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smalltalkwith_sheila/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SmallTalkWithSheilaGet your FREE “Is It Me or My Cycle?” Guide:https://meormycycle.smalltalkwithsheila.com
