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
I quit caffeine, and it changed my life.
In this episode, Michaela Mae shares her raw and honest journey of quitting caffeine — not as a productivity hack, but as a healing experience.
What started as a simple experiment turned into a powerful look at addiction, intuition, and nervous system regulation.
Michaela unpacks the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of going caffeine-free — from headaches and habit loops to deeper realizations about using caffeine as a coping mechanism for discomfort and disconnection.
If you’ve ever wondered “Could I actually quit caffeine?” or “Why do I rely on it so much?”, this episode will help you reconnect with your body, your energy, and your natural rhythm of aliveness.
