Stop Doing This in The Bathroom

In this episode, Micayla shares how that tiny boundary shifted her daily routine, her mindset, and the way she moves through her day, proving that even the smallest changes can have a bigger impact than we expect.

Feeling First: The Real Secret to Your Best Year Ahead

Welcome to the very first episode of Waking Up with Micayla. We’re starting 2026 differently—by shifting our focus from what we want to have to how we want to feel. This episode dives into one of the most important, and often overlooked, parts of manifesting your dream life. Why do you really want the relationship, the house, or the success? What feeling are you hoping it will give you? Our desires are clues. They point us toward the emotions we’re longing to experience—connection, freedom, safety, confidence, joy. When we learn to access those feelings now, before the “stuff” arrives, everything begins to change. External validation can’t give us what we’re truly seeking. This is your one human experience, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fully express who you are and how you want to live. Let’s not get to the end of this journey wishing we had shown up more fully. So today, pause and ask yourself: How do you want to feel?
