In this episode, Ms. Michaela Mae hits record — red Solo cup in hand — and works through her own self-doubt in real time. After a handful of false starts, she does what she always teaches: trust the moment, not the plan.
This isn’t a polished pep talk — it’s a raw reflection on how we overthink, overanalyze, and disconnect from our truth. Michaela dives into the difference between the reflection (the surface patterns that keep showing up) and the root (the emotional or energetic wound underneath).
With her signature mix of humor, honesty, and body-based wisdom, she unpacks what it means to stop questioning yourself and start listening — to your nervous system, to your emotions, and to what your higher self is really trying to say.
