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.

The Ms. Michaela Mae Show
When you realize you're going the wrong direction, it's okay to turn around.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this heartfelt episode, Ms. Michaela Mae unpacks how pride can quietly act as a shield — keeping us headed in the wrong direction long after we know it’s time to turn around.
Through stories of wrong turns (literally and metaphorically), Michaela shares how a drive through Oregon, a conversation with a friend, and a quote from Yoda all led her to one core realization: it’s not failure to stop and change direction — it’s wisdom.
She explores the difference between persistence and pride, why it’s okay to “work like a woman” instead of “push like a man,” and how trusting your intuition to pivot earlier saves energy, peace, and purpose.
