Episode 2: Confidence When You’re Not “Her” Yet
We all have a version of “her”. The woman we think we’re supposed to become. But what happens when you’re not “her” yet… and you’re stuck in the messy middle? Michayla dives deep into the unfiltered truth about building confidence when you feel behind, unsure, or not enough.
Episode 3: The Myth of the Perfect Women
Breaking down the myth of the “Perfect woman”. That impossible ideal that taught me to be small, silent, and endlessly ‘good’ at the cost of my true self. From the very first words I ever spoke as a child (“Good Girl”) to the exhausting mask I wore to please others.
Episode 5: A Raw Talk About Becoming a Mom
From the pressure to “do it all” to the quiet grief of losing parts of who I used to be… this episode is a raw exploration of identity, womanhood, and the titles we hold and sometimes struggle to keep when everything is shifting.
Episode 7: Success Guilt: Outgrowing Their Experiences
I’m getting real about a feeling many of us carry but rarely name, success guilt. That inner conflict when your growth begins to challenge the roles others put you in. When you realize you're no longer who they thought you'd be and instead of pride, you feel guilt.
Episode 9: When Women Don’t Support Women & How to Fix It
We’ve all heard the phrase “empowered women empower women” but what happens when that’s not the reality? In this raw and honest episode, I’m diving into a conversation many avoid: when women don’t support other women, why it happens, and how we can change it.
