Hey! Michelle with a Mic: What If Your Intuition Is Trying to Tell You Something?

What if the answers you've been searching for aren't somewhere out there, but already within you? In this episode of Hey! Michelle with a Mic, Michelle sits down with intuitive energy expert, Reiki Master, meditation teacher, and spiritual coach Moira Shine Free for an open and fascinating conversation about the world of energy healing, intuition, tarot, and finding your life's purpose. Together, they explore how trauma, stress, and everyday life can create energetic blockages, and how practices like Reiki and meditation can help us reconnect with ourselves.  Moira shares her personal journey from lifelong curiosity about psychics and palm readers to becoming a professional intuitive after a life-changing Reiki experience and a major personal transformation. She opens up about developing her gifts, helping clients navigate grief, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions, and why she believes everyone has the ability to strengthen their own intuition.  Michelle, as always, asks the questions we're all thinking: Can you really feel other people's energy? What's the deal with tarot cards, crystals, and full moons? How do you actually meditate when your mind won't stop racing? And can raising your vibration really change your day-to-day life? The answers might surprise you. Whether you're deeply spiritual, simply curious, or just looking for a little more peace in your busy life, this conversation offers practical takeaways and a fresh perspective on healing, mindfulness, and trusting yourself.

Hey! Michelle with a Mic: Running Cincinnati with the Flying Pig Marathon

On the very first episode of Hey! Michelle with a Mic, Michelle sits down with someone she’s known practically her whole life, Doug Olberding, CEO of Flying Pig Marathon and the force behind one of Cincinnati’s most iconic weekends. From the history of the Flying Pig to what it really takes to pull off a 45,000-person running festival, Doug shares the heart behind the race, the community impact, and why people from all 50 states and more than 20 countries come to Cincinnati just to run with us. They talk about everything from PigAbilities and the Flying Fur race to bacon on the course, blue jean miles, and the incredible volunteers who make it all happen. Doug also opens up about his personal journey, from tragedy and loss to purpose, passion, and leading one of the city’s most beloved nonprofit organizations. Plus, they dive into the $45.9 million economic impact the marathon brings to the region and what’s next for Pig Works in Cincinnati. This episode is about more than running, it’s about community, resilience, and what happens when a city shows up for each other.
