Welcome to MIRootsReflections — the storytelling heart of MIRootsCreations and the official home of all reflective, written, and audio work by Maria Michael, writing as Emberly Knight.
This collection brings together Maria’s full creative universe: raw memoir, intimate poetry, reflective journaling, immersive fiction, and the unfiltered truth of her podcast Sophisticated & Unfiltered: Lessons from a Bitter Housewife — streaming on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio.
Known for her lived-in emotional honesty and grounded storytelling style, Maria writes at the intersection of mental health, motherhood, identity, trauma, resilience, and rebirth. Every book, poem, journal, and reflection is crafted to help readers feel understood, validated, and a little less alone.
Inside this collection, you’ll find:
📘 Confessions of a Disillusioned Housewife — a raw, diary-style memoir of heartbreak, mental health, and rebuilding your life.
☕ Poetic Confessions — intimate poetry collections, including the After Hours Edition, exploring the sacred mess of healing and self-discovery.
🌿 The Grace to Grow — a 90-day reflective journal for mindfulness, emotional clarity, and gentle daily healing.
🌊 The Shadows of Harbor’s Edge — Book One in Maria’s atmospheric coastal crime-drama series written as Emberly Knight.
And for listeners who love their reflections served with humor, grit, and a side of chaos, Maria’s podcast offers daily insights, AM/PM reflections, music moments, and WTF-and-Feral-Friday energy — all currently in a rebuilding phase with new episodes coming soon. Stay tuned.
At its core, MIRootsReflections is a space for truth-telling.
A place for the stories we whisper, the ones we survive, and the ones that lead us back to ourselves.
Welcome in. Your story belongs here too.
