In this deeply relatable episode, Ms. Michaela Mae flips the script on self-blame and healing by challenging the idea that you have “problems.”

You don’t have a problem — you have a pattern.
Michaela shares real, unfiltered stories (yes, even a little TMI) about breaking her phone habits, identifying emotional loops, and discovering how the subconscious mind clings to identity labels like “addiction” or “failure.” Through her signature storytelling and humor, she explores how changing your language can change your life.

From emotional release to corgi reflections (literally), Michaela reveals how patterns form, how to uncreate them, and how shifting perception turns guilt into curiosity — and curiosity into healing.
