Guest: Micah Schwader | Writing Coach, Author

The Reiki Lifestyle Podcast

Approaching his 51st trip around the sun, Micah—formerly Marilyn—had a profound realization. He was, in truth, a man in a woman’s body. In that moment, he saw how much of his life-long spiritual search for purpose had been about uncovering and aligning with his true gender.

As Micah embraced his authentic self, he embarked on a wild ride of self-discovery. Transitioning from Marilyn to Micah wasn’t just a change in name; it was a journey to reclaim his true identity amidst a cacophony of internal doubts and external forces wishing to deny his lived experience.

In the face of the turbulence, he found an oasis of inner peace after discovering and studying the ancient principles of shamanism.

Having been a Transformational Writing Coach for thirty years, helping authors publish and promote their spiritual and transformational books, Micah knows that sharing his story will help others see their truth, no matter who they are or how they appear in the world.

Micah is bringing his journey to the world in his memoir, Stumbling Into Grace: The Adventures of a Transgender Shaman. In it, he shares how encounters with shamanism and a tapestry of extraordinary events and ordinary people shaped his journey toward embracing the divine essence within.
