Dear Listener,

This episode is for the people who are trying to heal, trust God, survive adulthood, keep their plants alive, answer emails, pay bills, and emotionally recover from everything life has thrown at them… all at the same time.

This week we’re talking about unexpected blessings, exhausting seasons, rebuilding your life one tiny answered prayer at a time, and how sometimes faith looks less like having it all together and more like crying in a parking lot while thanking God anyway.

We’re diving into:

* trusting God during messy seasons

* healing while life keeps moving

* finding humor in survival mode

* why adulthood feels like a group project you forgot existed

* and how somehow… God still keeps making a way

This episode feels like sitting in the car with your best friend after a long day — slightly sleep deprived, holding iced coffee, laughing through the chaos, and trying to remember where you parked emotionally.

As always, thank you for being here.

You’re not behind.

You’re becoming.

This week’s letter is about letting go… in the smallest and most unexpected ways. From doggie daycare emotions (yes, it’s a thing) to trusting God when life doesn’t look how you planned—this episode is a mix of humor, honesty, and a little faith reminder for the in-between seasons.

✨ Let’s talk about:

– why letting go feels so hard

– what dog daycare taught me about trust

– faith in the middle of uncertainty

– and finding peace without having everything figured out

🤍 Question for you:

What is something you’re learning to let go of right now?

DM me, comment, or write your own “letter” back—I’d love to hear from you.

Hi friend 🤍

This one feels like a deep breath… and a little bit of chaos all at once.

Today’s letter is for anyone who feels like they’re still figuring life out—like you thought you’d have it all together by now, but instead you’re reheating your coffee for the third time, running late, talking to your dogs like they pay rent, and just… trying your best.

Because same.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it looks like to be in the in-between—that space where you’re not who you used to be, but you’re not fully where you’re going yet either. We’re talking about starting over, healing, trusting God in hard seasons, and learning (slowly) that you don’t have to carry everything on your own.

Also… a few real-life moments that prove I absolutely do not have my life together—and maybe you’ll feel a little less alone because of it.

If you’ve been:

* feeling lost in your 20s

* navigating a breakup or starting over

* trying to grow in your faith

* overwhelmed and overthinking everything

* or just in your “what am I doing with my life” era

this episode is for you.

You’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re just becoming. 🤍

Life lately has felt like one long episode of “are you kidding me right now?”

This one is for the girl crying in her car… and the version of her that still shows up anyway.

In this episode, I’m talking about the chaos—car troubles, unexpected bills, borrowed rides, and those quiet prayers whispered over a steering wheel just trying to make it home. But also… the strength it takes to walk into a classroom the next morning and say, “Good morning friends!” like your world isn’t spinning a little.

Because somehow, even in the middle of it all… I still show up.

Tired.

Stressed.

Figuring it out as I go.

And maybe you do too.

So this is your reminder (and mine): you don’t have to have it all together to keep going. You just have to keep showing up.

It’s been a while… and life has been a lot.

In this Life Lately letter, I’m sharing the real, unfiltered moments—power getting shut off, car stress that feels never-ending, and somehow bringing home a puppy in the middle of it all. This season hasn’t been easy, but it’s been full of unexpected lessons, small wins, and reminders that I’m not doing this alone.

From late-night potty breaks that feel like major victories to learning what faith actually looks like when life feels uncertain, this episode is for anyone who’s just trying to keep going.

If you’re in a messy, overwhelming, or in-between season… this is your reminder:

Trying is enough right now.

Love,

Miss. Michaela

In this Life, Lately letter, I’m sharing the story of how a quiet moment with a couple of sneaky cows named Maggie and Tara somehow became the most peaceful moment I’ve had in weeks.

Life has a funny way of reminding us to slow down — sometimes it just takes a field, a cow, and a girl pretending she understands wine tannins.

If you’re in a messy, in-between season of life… this letter is for you. 🤍

Tell me in the comments:

What unexpected moment recently made you feel calm or happy?

Under Surveillance (By God & My Dog)

I checked the pet camera at 10:11pm… and somehow felt like I was the one being monitored.

In this episode, I’m sharing how a simple moment of seeing Roxie “on security duty” turned into a reflection on faith, growth, and the seasons where I felt like I was sitting in the dark.

From stepping into my role as a lead toddler teacher, to praying in my car before work, to rebuilding my life after divorce — I’m talking about what it means to be watched over even when you don’t feel strong.

This letter is about courage. Calling. Becoming.

And the quiet reminder that God never leaves us — even in the in-between.

Also… my dog definitely thinks she runs the house.

If you’re rebuilding, growing, or learning how to be brave again — this one’s for you. 💛🐶🎙️

Life, Lately — Episode 13: I Swear I’m Listening

A casual life update where I promise I’m listening — even if my dog thinks every noise outside is an emergency. Between teaching toddlers to use their words and being bossed around by Roxie, this episode is tired brain, full heart, and a lot of real-life chaos. No life advice. Just vibes, laughs, and a reminder that loud doesn’t always mean bad.

After sharing something deeply personal last episode, this one feels quieter—the kind of season where nothing is flashy, but life keeps showing up. Lately, my faith has been meeting me in small, ordinary moments: whispered prayers, breath-by-breath grace, and reminders that God is still working even when nothing feels obvious.

If you’re tired, waiting, or simply doing your best to keep going, this episode is for you 🤍

This episode is a quiet, honest letter about starting over when life doesn’t go the way you imagined.

Nearly two years after divorce and a move that changed everything, I’m sharing reflections on grief, faith, healing, and trusting God in seasons you never asked for. This isn’t about details — it’s about the in-between moments, the rebuilding, and the courage it takes to keep going when the future feels unfamiliar.

If you’re walking through an unexpected chapter, this episode is for you.

Go gently with yourself — you’re allowed to be becoming.
