Hi Layla! Can you tell us about yourself and how you prepared for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
My name is Layla Taylor. I’m a single mom to two beautiful baby boys, who are two and under! I find so much joy and happiness in motherhood, truly I’m living my dream life every day with them! Coming onto The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, I try to ground myself daily and remind myself that I’m doing this for my babies and make them proud. I want to show them examples, that you can go for anything you set your heart and mind to.
What inspired you to join the show?
I’ve been a part of #MomTok for about three years now. I first came into the group to find a healthy outlet out of motherhood, that could also bring in income for my family! I’m so lucky to have met these girls, and to be on this crazy journey with them!
What do you hope viewers can learn about you through the show?
I hope to inspire other single moms or parents and show them that, although it’s hard doing it on your own, it’s amazing to see all that you’re capable of.

Can you describe your personal style?
I think my personal style is timeless with a boho touch!
What are 3 things you've learned as a single mom?
Three things I’ve learned as a single mom:
Give yourself time, time to heal time to grieve time to grow.
Ask for help. Find your village and don’t be ashamed to seek help when needed.
Always remember you are enough! You are exactly who, and what, your babies need. Believe in yourself, you've got this!
What's next for you after The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
Long-term, I want to keep sharing my story in hopes of inspiring people who may have been in similar situations. I want to emphasise that there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.
