Our inspirational guest Shayla Logan remained resilient as she faced various hard times in life. Shayla was adopted at the age of four after being given up at birth. As early as seven years old her abusive mom tasked her with the overwhelming responsibility of caring for her father who was dying from prostate cancer. Being forced into therapy by her mother would eventually lead to Shayla being rescued by a social worker. Slipping into a two-week coma at nineteen, after attempting to take her life by overdosing on pills, Shayla awoke with a new lease on life. After marrying her partner and getting into a career she loved, life took a turn for the worse. Enduring a motorcycle accident that left her unable to walk and heavily dependent on others led her to be hospitalized for suicidal idealization. It was during a conversation with a fellow patient that she began to accept her new reality. Despite her challenging circumstances, she found innovative ways to continue her passions. Tune in to hear how Shayla has been resilient in overcoming the obstacles that she’s faced.
