Season 2's first guest is none other than THEE Michaela Harrison! This mermaid-magician-healer had a lot to say in her DEBUT podcast interview, including:

-- where she feels most at home, spiritually, physically, and mentally;

-- why she's never doubted her own magic and;

-- how she went from befriending a squirrel to singing with whales in Brazil.

Her bio: Michaela A. Harrison is a Washington, D.C. native whose career is rooted in relaying the healing, transformational power of music through song. She has performed nationally and internationally as a soloist and with various bands and musical collectives. As a resident of New Orleans for over 17 years, Michaela established an enthusiastic following at local venues such as Café Istanbul, Second Vine Wine, and Ashé Cultural Arts Center.

Michaela began singing in the Baptist church at age five. Her musical style incorporates her gospel roots as well as a diverse range of genres including jazz, blues, R & B, soul, samba, MPB and African traditional music. As a protégé of Bernice Johnson Reagon, founder of Sweet Honey In The Rock, Michaela is well-versed in spirituals, work songs, and protest music from the Civil Rights era. Her soulful, heartfelt delivery of covers and original music has often moved audiences to tears. 

Her #TNWIDTakeaway: "When you are in the flow, when you are in surrender, when you are listening for and tuned into the signs and the messages and moving with that, the energy, the resources, the support that are needed for you to do what you came here to do are always there for you."
