Gritty Convos About Life. This podcast is where we talk about the turbulence that shapes us (in the best way). Hosted by commercial pilot and creator of the 7 Primal Wounds framework, Dr. Michaela, these conversations are sometimes raw, sometimes hilarious, and always thought-provoking—featuring celebrity guests and unforgettable humans who tell the truth most won’t. Expect topics that are unfiltered, unapologetic, and real. This is a space to live authentically, speak your truth with grace, and find the courage to evolve. It’s not about one topic. It’s about everything—the crappy weather and the blue skies—that shape your choices and lead you to the destination you dream of.
