The Western Hippie | Holistic Healing for dogs, horses, and humans
Welcome to the Western Hippie Podcast! I’m on a journey to find the best w-holistic remedies for my dogs, horses, myself, and YOU! Because we’re not just one thing. We’re not just an arm, an emotion, or a heart, we’re ALL OF THE THINGS, and it’s all connected.
My goal is to
1) Share my findings with you
2) Teach you how to develop your own holistic healing philosophy
3) And take care of your dogs and horses in a way that’s best for you and them
I promise to talk about all the things: the good, the hard, the beautiful, and the ugly and share those in the most honest and authentic way I can.
If you have a subject you want me to cover, please send an email with the subject line PODCAST TOPIC to michaelalpaluck@gmail.com
Thank you for being here at The Western Hippie. Willie and I appreciate you ♥️

Why Your Story Still Matters (Even If It's Already Been Told)
Do you ever feel like your story has already been told — so what’s the point of sharing it? In this episode of The Western Hippie Podcast, Michaela unpacks the deeper reason your voice still matters — and why your unique delivery is your divine assignment.
Inspired by a Lord of the Rings quote that cracked her open, she explores how art, healing, and purpose aren’t separate paths — they’re actually one. From “trauma trances” to creative awakenings, Michaela invites you to stop asking how others do it and start doing it your way.
Whether you're a writer, healer, creator, or just trying to figure out what you're here for, this episode will remind you: if you don’t find the way, no one else will.
