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.

Zootopia 2 Review: Stop making it something it isn't.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Ms. Michaela Mae shares a perspective she felt called to record in the moment — no video, no polish, just an honest conversation about culture, parenting, and a movie that’s become unexpectedly controversial.
After seeing Zootopia 2 twice (and planning a third viewing), Michaela addresses the concerns circulating online and offers a grounded, experience-based take for parents who are on the fence about taking their kids to see it.
Drawing from her background in film school, her deep awareness of how sexualization impacts children, and her own lived experience, Michaela explains why she does not see Zootopia 2 as hypersexualized — and why, if she did, she would be the first person to speak out against it.
This episode isn’t about defending Disney blindly or dismissing valid concerns. It’s about discernment, context, and doing your own research instead of reacting to viral clips or rumor mills.
Michaela talks about:
- Why hypersexualization of children is a serious issue (and why she takes it personally)
- How child predators identify and target vulnerable kids
- The difference between projection, assumption, and what’s actually on screen
- Why the characters people are upset about were already in the first movie
- The importance of movie theaters as a shared, focused experience for families
- How fear-based reactions can sometimes overshadow reality
- Her honest film critique of Zootopia 2 as a sequel — what works and what doesn’t
If you’re a parent, caregiver, or someone who cares deeply about children and culture, this episode offers a calm, thoughtful lens in a moment that feels anything but calm online.
