There are all kinds of closets you can come out of — sexual, political, and then…
there’s the spiritual closet.

In this episode, Ms. Michaela Mae finally tells the story she’s hinted at for years:
the moment she realized she could no longer hide or water down the intuitive, spiritual, energetic part of herself.

This is the episode where Michaela gets honest about leaving Christianity, rebuilding her belief system from the ground up, reclaiming the gifts she shut down as a kid, and stepping into her identity without the fear, shame, or “good girl programming” that kept her quiet for so long.

It’s equal parts hilarious, vulnerable, clarifying, and liberating.

If you’ve ever had a spiritual awakening, intuitive breakthrough, or a moment where your inner world shifted faster than your outer world could handle… this episode will feel like someone finally put words to your experience.

If you’ve ever hidden parts of yourself to stay safe or accepted… this episode will help you see why.

And if you’ve been waiting for permission to be who you actually are?

Here it is.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
