Come Heal With Me (Trailer)

Yes! I slept next to my guy best friend, No nothing happened! / How I met my ex

In this episode, I discuss the need for human interaction and how women and men can in fact be JUST FRIENDS. I go down memory lane reminiscing about when I was in high school and how I would sleep at my "bro's" house. Nothing ever happened between us, but I did meet my ex through him and that was QUITE the experience! Talking about this out loud was freeing. I was young and while he wasn't worth my time, I'm happy for the experience because I know what to stay away from. Enjoy!

Solo Date on Valentine's Day , I saw #OneLove and here's my review

For Valentine's Day I took myself to see One Love, the Bob Marley movie. This is me practicing self-love, self-care and healing. "Part of healing is spending time doing things for yourself, seeing a movie can be apart of it." - My Best Friend.

Shanika Shannel is many things. She is a writer, a singer, an author, a teacher but she is currently dedicated to healing! Growing up she was taught that what happens in the house, stays in the house. But she has lived through the negative impact that this mindset causes. She has beat death, more than once. She has had everything taken away from her and had to start from 0, learning how to walk and talk all over again. Shanika is a survivor. She is a warrior. She is the definition of resilience. After hiding from the world, she is finally ready to speak up and share her life experiences unapologetically. No more protecting others, because this is her story to tell. This is all about healing. This is an extension of the therapy she gets for herself. The goal is to inspire, to validate, and show people like you that you are not alone! No contact with family? Same! Stressed out from work? Same! Messed up childhood? Same! Family members sweep traumatic experiences under the rug? SAME! Danced with death? Ditto! Creative but stuck in a 9-5? I feel you! No luck dating in today's society? I have met my tribe! Together, we will unpack it all! Come Heal With Me!
