The Ber Months🪬🖤

Ever wondered what it takes to stop living on autopilot and actually show up for yourself? Life’s Spice Podcast brings that energy, with Shay turning a recording mishap into a funny, honest catch-up before diving into some serious soul work. This episode centres on the “ber months” – September through December – and why they’re the perfect time to start becoming the version of yourself you’re hoping to be next year.

Shay talks about how people rush into New Year’s resolutions, then burn out by February because, as she puts it, “you didn’t really give yourself the time to prep yourself.” Instead, she suggests using these last 100-plus days of the year to gently build habits around things like quitting smoking, saving money, or even changing how you eat and move.

You’ll also hear her break down the idea that “moving forward is a direction, not a speed,” encouraging small, realistic steps instead of perfection or all-or-nothing thinking. She calls out the trap of staying in a loop of disappointment, where people keep wishing and hoping but never follow through on what they promised themselves. Shay’s style is part big-sister real talk, part spiritual coach.

She shares her own health journey, her obsession with self-development, and how shedding old versions of herself has helped her see more clearly. She challenges her audience to ask uncomfortable questions like “Who am I?” and “What do I actually want?” while reminding them to give themselves grace. Along the way, she touches on wider social issues too, from political manipulation to clean drinking water, urging people to think critically and trust their intuition.

Ideal for anyone who feels stuck, tired of repeating the same patterns, or ready to start small but meaningful changes, this episode asks one central question: are you finally going to do the work you keep saying you’re going to do?
