Description
I’m Michaela—a wife, mom, and Jesus follower who was radically saved from child abuse trauma, substance abuse, New Age deception, sex work, and ungodly relationships.
Now, I share what it means to live a raised and redeemed life after a life of sin.
This podcast is for those who’ve been to the dark side and back—and are ready to grow in holiness, confront the battle within, and pursue sanctification through spiritual discipline.
Rooted in Orthodox Christianity, this is real talk for the soul that longs for God.
