Life, Lately — Letters for the In-Between

A Letter About Letting Go (and Sending Your Dog to Daycare)

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.

“Dear Life… I’m Still Figuring You Out”

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. 🤍 ⸻ ✨ Let’s stay connected If this episode felt like a letter you needed, I’d love for you to: * follow the podcast * share it with a friend * or leave a review (it helps more than you know 🥹)

Parking Lot Prayers & Plot Twists

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.

Life Lately: Chaos, Growth, and Small Wins

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

Letters from a Girl Who Went Wine Tasting and Bonded with Cows

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?
