In this episode, Ms. Michaela Mae continues the conversation that started in Episode 2 — but takes it even deeper. While in the shower (where all the best ideas happen), she realized that it’s not just about changing — it’s about discovering new parts of yourself that were always there, waiting to feel safe enough to come out.
From childhood memories to body wisdom, Michaela opens up about the link between trauma, safety, and self-discovery. She shares her realization that the body doesn’t lie — it carries messages about where we’ve armored up, stayed in survival, or disconnected from our feminine energy. Using humor, storytelling, and real-world reflection, she invites listeners to look at their own patterns through a new lens: one of compassion, curiosity, and self-trust.
This one’s about learning to read the body, listen to your intuition, and create the kind of environment where your next “era” can finally unfold.
