ELEVATED
A music-led, guided journaling experience built around one question: what would be possible if you loved yourself more?
This page is your guide for the evening.
Sign in below and take a moment to arrive. Settle your body, feel the music, and let yourself land before we begin.
I'm genuinely glad you're here.
Love Mikala
Welcome to…
ELEVATED: Session 4, Pride Edition was created ON PURPOSE.
It exists because we can only love someone else as deeply as we love ourselves, and if we want to show up as genuine allies and genuine witnesses for people whose truth requires courage to live, we have to be willing to look at the parts of ourselves we're still asking permission to be.
This room is not asking you to have it figured out or to perform self-love for the people around you.
It's asking you to look honestly at where you're still shrinking, still explaining yourself, still saving some part of yourself for a different room.

Meet Your Host
Mikala is the creator and host of ELEVATED.
Nearly 20 years behind the chair has taught her that people reveal themselves in proximity, and that the most meaningful thing she can offer is her full attention. Her work is informed by those years as a hairstylist, by teaching in classrooms and on stages, by a 200-hour Journey into Power yoga teacher training rooted in Baptiste yoga principles and Light Year Leadership, and by her active practice as a Womb Health Practitioner. ELEVATED is where all of it converges, alongside her own ongoing Self-Love journey.
This is not an event you simply attend. It's an experience you feel.
Tonight, Mikala's role is simple: hold the room so the music, the journaling, and the people around you can do what they came here to do.

ELEVATED: Session 4, Pride Edition - Journaling Prompts
-
PROMPT 1
Where in your own life are you still asking for permission to be fully yourself?
What part of you are you still explaining or shrinking or saving for a different room?
-
PROMPT 2
Think of someone in your life whose truth you've had to grow to understand.
What did loving them teach you about the parts of yourself you were still learning to accept?
-
PROMPT 3
What would change in how you show up for the people you love if you fully stopped apologizing for who you are?
What would be possible for you if you showed up loving yourself in this way?
Press play.
ELEVATED lives on SoundCloud so the experience doesn't have to end tonight.
Previous sets are already up, and tonight's session will be added.
The night ends. The feeling doesn't have to.

FULL DISCLOSURE
A 2-Month Mentorship
I've noticed that after a meaningful experience, it can take a moment to find the words for what shifted.
The warmth that stays in your chest on the drive home. The journal that ends up on the nightstand instead of back on the shelf. The feeling you keep returning to because it hasn't quite finished with you yet.
If something opened tonight and you want to find out what's on the other side of it, Full Disclosure is where that goes.
It's a two-month 1:1 container for the person who felt something move and is ready to follow it.
