The Ms. Michaela Mae Show

For when you become the person you never thought you'd be.

Episode 9

In this episode, Ms. Michaela Mae dives deep into what happens when you wake up one day and realize — you’ve become someone you never thought you’d be. Whether it’s the version of you you used to judge, the one you swore you’d never become, or even a version you’re proud of but still learning to accept… this one’s for you.

Michaela explores both sides of the transformation — the parts of us that emerge through pain, anger, and survival, and the parts that appear when we finally start healing. She opens up about her own story, including childhood trauma, the messy middle of emotional recovery, and the unexpected spiritual awakening that came with it.

From anger and grief to self-acceptance and intuitive gifts, Michaela shares how every identity shift — good or bad — asks us to grieve who we were before and embrace who we’re becoming now.

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I never thought I’d be this person…” — this episode will help you see that maybe you’re not lost at all. Maybe you’re just expanding.
