In this solo episode of the Western Hippie Podcast, Michaela shares a powerful perspective shift around the concept of perfection. As a self-described Virgo and recovering perfectionist, she explores how society has confused "perfect" with "flawless"—and how this misunderstanding holds us back creatively and spiritually. Through personal stories, a transformative teaching from Brendan Burchard, and insights from Guided Light Healing, Michaela invites listeners to reclaim their wholeness, shift their language, and create from a place of worthiness. She ends the episode with an exciting announcement: the audiobook version of The Barn off of Colfax Lane will be released on the podcast, two chapters per week.
