Part 3 | Taylor Swift can change...and so can you.

In this episode, Ms. Michaela Mae continues her Taylor Swift trilogy — and takes it somewhere brand new. She asks one powerful question: Who were you before you were told it wasn’t okay?

From sipping wine with wet hair to recording with total honesty, Michaela shares how rebuilding trust with yourself starts with keeping promises to yourself — not just everyone else. She unpacks what it means to feel safe enough to show your true self and why our most authentic parts often hide beneath fear, trauma, or other people’s expectations.

And then… she tells a story about a buzzed night at Mountain Days in Sandy, Oregon that became a spiritual awakening disguised as small-town chaos.  Through her humor and vulnerability, she explores how sometimes alcohol (and letting go) reveals the unfiltered parts of us that we’ve been taught to suppress — and how we can start to bring those pieces back while sober.

It’s bold, funny, and thought-provoking — an invitation to rediscover the parts of you that got left behind, and love them back into the light.
