About This Podcast

The possibilities of life can be elusive yet enlightening all at the same time. Who are we supposed to be? What will make us successful? How does one define success? How do you know when you’ve “made it?” Does anyone have all the answers? Become with Michaela Halvorson will explore the curiosity around these questions. Authentic conversations with brilliant minds from all walks of life will explore life in the present moment and reflect back on guests’ lives and how past experiences helped shape them. By digging deeper into the philosophy behind a person’s ”why,” themes will emerge such as their core values, what led them to their line of work, and how they choose to live their life. Tune in to Become with Michaela Halvorson. You might just become a little bit wiser.
