What Happens When You Don’t Give Up: Shayla Dugan on Grief, Writing, and Self-Priority

What Happens When You Don’t Give Up: Shayla Dugan on Grief, Writing, and Self-Priority

Trigger Warning:
This episode includes conversations about pregnancy loss and other traumatic life events. Please listen with care.

In this episode of The Pivot Life, I sit down with Shayla Dugan, an author whose story is less about a dramatic comeback and more about the quiet, relentless choice to keep going, even when life feels impossible.

Shayla opens up about the tragedies that changed everything, the small acts of survival that carried her through, and the moment she allowed herself to follow the thing that genuinely lit her up: writing. What started as an outlet became her her first publisher-backed book, on her very first attempt!

If you would like to read Shayla's work, and I highly recommend you do you can find her:

Do You Have to Cross the Street to Get to Heaven can be found on amazon.
