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.
