Matcha, Music & Making Moves with MiChaela Barker

In this episode of WildHER Wisdom, Shelley and Mary sit down with the force of nature that is MiChaela Barker—a powerhouse professional who blends boardroom brilliance with entrepreneurial magic and late-night music sessions. By day, she leads strategic projects at a Fortune 1000 company. By night (and every other spare moment), she's the founder of Matcha Scrubs and a soulful singer-songwriter and producer.

From launching a line of protective and stylish medical scrub caps inspired by her physician mother's less-than-stellar experience with traditional caps to dropping songs that double as therapy, MiChaela is redefining what it means to live a multidimensional life with purpose and power. She walks us through how structure fuels her creativity, why sleep is a luxury she negotiates with grace, and how being "extra, determined, and blessed" is her brand of brilliance.

We get real about generational wealth, women supporting women, and the unglamorous parts of entrepreneurship (hello, IP filings). MiChaela shares why she's done with toxic ties, why you need to start before you're ready, and how being over-prepared helps her show up as her most authentic self in rooms not built for her—but now better because she's in them.

Tune in for a masterclass in doing it all—on your own terms and get inspired to:

✨ Lead with ambition and alignment

✨ Blend passion and profession unapologetically

✨ Build a legacy that's loud, loving, and lasting
