Have you ever felt the pressure to perform for the algorithm? To post more, do more or be more, only to end up feeling like you have lost sight of who you actually are? In this episode, I am talking about what it really looks like to build an online presence that is rooted in purpose, not performance.

I am breaking down why authenticity is your greatest marketing asset, how to identify the one message God has given you to share, and the practical steps you can take to show up consistently online without burning out or compromising your values.

This one is for the faith-driven entrepreneur, the ministry leader, the creative who knows God has called them to something, but who struggles to put themselves out there without feeling like they are selling out or showing off. You were created to be seen. Let me show you how to do it with peace and ease.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why authenticity is your most powerful marketing tool and how to stop performing for the algorithm
• How to identify the one message God has given you and build your entire content strategy around it
• Practical steps to show up consistently online without burning out or compromising your values

Let's Make Room for God to move in our lives!

Have you ever felt stuck, unfulfilled, or like you were settling for less than what God has for you? In this episode, I am sharing how God answered my prayers in just three days and breaking down the biblical framework that made it happen.

Drawing from Matthew 7:7 ("Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be opened"), I walk you through my practical three-step strategy: Speak, Seek, Step. It is a faith-action framework I have seen work time and time again, and I cannot wait to share it with you.

I share two personal stories of breakthrough through prayer and fasting, including landing a broadcast journalism job after six years of waiting and experiencing real-time answered prayer at a friend's book launch. Then I walk you through my most recent miracle: a three-day dry fast inspired by the story of Esther that led to a free month of rent, a new job offer, and the relaunch of this very podcast.

Whether you are in a season of waiting, wanting more from God, or ready to stop settling, this episode will give you a spiritual strategy to position yourself for the miracle you have been believing for. Let's make room.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What prayer and fasting really looks like and the heart posture that makes it powerful
• The 3-step biblical framework: Speak (Ask), Seek, Step (Knock)
• How the story of Esther maps directly onto a modern-day miracle
• Why obedience can matter more than sacrifice in certain seasons
• How to position yourself spiritually, emotionally, and physically to receive answered prayer
• The difference between seeking God and seeking the blessing

Welcome to Make Room with Micayla Robertson.

In this first episode, Micayla shares the story behind the rebrand, which stemmed from a revelation God gave her during a quiet moment in New York in July 2025.

Rooted in Proverbs 18:16 which says, “A man’s gifts make room for him…”, this episode dives deep into the Hebrew meaning of gift, make, and room, unpacking what it truly means to create space for God to dwell in your life, business, and calling.

This isn’t just about discovering your gifts.

It’s about obedience.

It’s about dominion.

It’s about remembering you were made in God’s image and you are blessed, empowered, and called to expand. (Genesis 1:26–28)

In this episode, you’ll discover:

- Why “Make Room” is more than a title, it’s a lifestyle

- What it means for your gifts to create expansion

- The connection between dwelling and destiny (John 14:2)

- How marketing, ministry, and meaningful living intersect

- Why your business can be an extension of the Father’s house

This podcast is now a dwelling place.

A place for the Word.

A place for wisdom.

A place for strategy.

A place for growth.

It’s time to make room.

As we embrace a new year and a new month, we're also stepping in to a new season which means we're rebranding... again! Welcome to Make Room -- a podcast dedicated to making room in our lives for God to move.

Whether that be in business through sharing valuable marketing tips, ministry through prayer and bible studies, or exploring what it looks like to live a meaningful life, this show highlights guests who are living out loud for Jesus and ready to apply the Word of God to life in order to build their faith.

Jesus’ instructions to “Get up and pray” serve as a timeless reminder of the spiritual battle we face and the necessity of prayer to strengthen our faith, resist the enemy, and gain clarity in times of trouble.

In this episode, we dive deep into the power of prayer as demonstrated by Jesus in Luke 22:39-46. Facing betrayal, grief, and imminent danger, Jesus turned to prayer for strength and guidance.

We also explore the critical moments leading up to this passage, including Judas’ betrayal, the Lord’s Supper, and the disciples’ struggle with exhaustion and grief.

If you’ve ever struggled with grief, temptation, trouble, danger or moments of spiritual exhaustion, this episode will equip and encourage you to rise above, seek God’s strength, and walk in victory.

God loves you and so do I!
