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.

Celebrating 40 Years of Back to the Future with Landon Sommese
In this episode, Ms. Michaela Mae sits down with her longtime friend Landon Sommese to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future — one of the most iconic films ever made.
Together they unpack why this movie still hits home four decades later — from Marty and Doc’s unforgettable friendship to George’s life-changing moment of courage. They dive into the storytelling, the behind-the-scenes trivia (yes, the Michael J. Fox vs. Eric Stoltz story makes an appearance), and why the emotional core of 80s films continues to inspire audiences today.
It’s nostalgic, funny, and surprisingly reflective — a love letter to classic cinema and the lessons we still take from it today.
