Podcast Overview

Muse & Be Well is the podcast for women who are over saying “I’m fine” when they’re anything but. Hosted by Misha Battiste and Taelor Chanel, we get real about what it means to be well—emotionally, creatively, and spiritually—in a world that keeps pushing performance over presence. Think heart-to-hearts, cultural commentary, upliftment, a dose of self-coaching, and plenty of laughter through the chaos. If you’re in transition or just done with surface-level conversations, this is your space to pause, breathe, and remember you’re not alone.
