The Ms. Michaela Mae Show
Welcome to The Ms. Michaela Mae Show — where real talk meets raw healing, a little randomness, and a whole lotta heart.
Hosted by author and creative soul Ms. Michaela Mae, this show dives into the messy-beautiful process of coming home to yourself — through stories, cultural commentary, and the kind of honest reflections you’d expect from a late-night conversation with your wisest (and funniest) friend.
Whether she’s unpacking Taylor Swift’s evolution, reflecting on Toby Keith’s legacy, sharing why becoming an author didn’t magically fix her life, or calling out Big Pharma for turning women into cookie-cutter clones, Michaela brings her signature mix of warmth, wit, and “say-it-out-loud” truth-telling to every episode.
It’s part pep-talk, part journal entry, and part “pull up a chair, let’s be human together.” You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and maybe — you’ll remember who you were before life told you to be anything else.
Featuring regular background commentary from Tank & Willie, her corgi co-hosts.
This Show Is For You If …
You’re a deep-thinking, big-hearted man or woman who’s:
- Outgrowing old versions of herself and craving truth over trends
- Healing from trauma or burnout while trying to rebuild her life authentically
- Learning to regulate her nervous system, reclaim her creativity, and find purpose again
- Over the fake “self-love” talk and ready for something real, unfiltered, and a little rebellious
- Drawn to meaningful conversations about culture, faith, healing, purpose, and womanhood — delivered with a wink, a laugh, and zero pretense
You believe growth doesn’t have to be sterile or spiritual-bypassy — it can be loud, messy, hilarious, and holy all at once.

Why Toby Keith's Death Hit So Hard
In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Ms. Michaela Mae Show, Michaela opens up about the loss of country legend Toby Keith — and why his passing seemed to shake not just the country music world, but the entire culture.
Michaela shares her lifelong love for Toby’s music, how it carried her through her parents’ divorce, and what his presence represented for so many of us: strength, integrity, and unapologetic authenticity. But she also dives into the deeper reason his death hit so hard — the collective ache of watching strong men grow weak in a culture that often doesn’t know what to do with male vulnerability.
Through this conversation, she invites listeners to explore how we honor the people who’ve shaped us, how we keep their messages alive, and how we can take lessons from their lives to live with more courage, honesty, and heart.
Part tribute, part reflection, and all soul — this one’s a love letter to the man who reminded us it’s okay to say what you believe, stand your ground, and mean it.
