This a special rebroadcast from my previous podcast days. I hope you enjoy :-)

The last few months have been interesting, to say the least. I've experienced depression on and off since I was at least 13, and today I wanted to have an unfiltered conversation about depression in case you're in that space too.Please remember, you are worth being well. Get help if you need it.Michaela on InstagramMy emailMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:My First Two Experiences with MDMA TherapyMy First Experience with MDMA - Trip ReportMy Second Experience with MDMA - Trip Rep

Oh are you in for a treat today! We are doing a deep dive on finding your purpose through human design. Some topics we cover in this episode include:-Defining Purpose, "what does purpose mean in THIS episode."-What's the difference between new years resolutions and human design?-What's the purpose of the non-self theme in human design?-If you're lost and stuck in a career you don't like and yet overwhelmed with where to start, where could you start with human design-How does human design help with making money-How to start de-conditioning in human design-The human design centers and de-conditioning-Different karmas and the human design profiles-Learning how to ride the emotional waves in human design / navigating emotional waves in human design& much more!I laughed while editing this episode, it is a pure manifesting generator episode for sure. We jumped, we bounced, we talked non-linear and somehow it all tied together to make some sort of sense...maybe. We will let you be the judge.Full disclosure, if this is your first time hearing about human design, this episode will be confusing. To start with human design, look up your chart, learn about your energy type with Tarah's Masterclass or book a reading with Tarah THEN come back to this episode.If you haven't already, please SUBSCRIBE to The Western Hippie podcast, and if you LOVED this episode, please take a screenshot and post it to your Instagram Story and tag @michaelapaluck and @man.gen.magicThank you so much for being here.

If you're into country music, then there's no doubt that you have heard of Toby Keith. But truth to be told, my favorite Toby Keith songs were not any of Toby Keith's biggest hits. Sure I love Should've Been a Cowboy, How Do You Like Me Know?!, and You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This, but the songs I catch myself playing on repeat and the songs that shows off Toby Keith's writing ability, in my opinion, were never released to radio. I wanted to honor Toby Keith in this video today both as a writer and a singer. In order, here are the best Toby Keith songs that were never hits.

HEADS UP: Today we are going into details about s*xual assault, and yes, I cuss. In today's show:How single are you? Single as a pringle.

Welcome to my new series called Thing I was Wrong About! In this series, I'm dive into topics that I was in fact, wrong about.In today's episode, I'm diving into things I was wrong about MDMA Therapy. If anyone would have asked me 3-4 years ago if I would have even thought about MDMA therapy or any other psychedelic therapy, I would have said not only no but hell no.Not only do I feel wrong about my judgment of MDMA therapy, but I believe it is anything but a drug--it's a medicine.My hope in discussing all these topics is to help you unlock your next door for whatever that is in life, and I've always hoped in sharing my experiences whether in life or around trauma that I could ease the suffering of someone else even if it's only a little bit. If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a review and tell me what you liked most about it. :-) if you want to send me a DM on Instagram, you can do so by clicking here!Links:Tucker Max on the Mikhaila Peterson podcastTim Ferriss Resource ListBooks:A Dose of HopeTrust, Surrender, Recieve

Welcome to my new series called Thing I was Wrong About! In this series, I dive into a variety of topics that I was, in fact, wrong about.In today's episode, I'm diving into things I was wrong about around trauma. If anyone would have asked me 12-18 months ago if I knew a lot about trauma, I would have said yes without hesitation, and I did to a certain extent.One could say I knew more than 'the average person' about trauma but what I was wrong about, was a missing key to unlock the next door in my healing journey.My hope in discussing all these topics is to help you unlock your next door for whatever that is in life, and I've always hoped in sharing my experiences whether in life or around trauma that I could ease the suffering of someone else even if it's only a little bit. If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a review and tell me what you liked most about it. :-)
