Hosts and Team

Malayna Dawn and Stacy Macris Ros

Malayna Dawn and Stacy Macris Ros met at Unity Kids Camp at the age of 10. As teens, they were regional leaders of the Youth of Unity, with Stacy as the Regional Rep. and Malayna as her Associate. They went on to do grown-up jobs in media and spirituality, and now they share their friendship, and their love of Pop Culture and Spirituality on their podcast entitled…POP CONSCIOUS on Unity Online Radio.

Malayna Dawn worked in many facets of the entertainment industry before becoming an internationally published freelance writer and author, and an online media consultant. She’s a rare third-generation Unity student who brings her work experience and pop culture obsessions, multi-cultural background and love of symbolism and metaphor to the show. Growing up in the suburbs of Hollywood, her makeup artist grandmother got her involved in Unity and in the entertainment industry as a child. Malayna put her Communications degree to use working behind-the-scenes in Radio, Television, Print Media and live events, both in the U.S. and her 12-year home of Sri Lanka. As the author of a spiritual adventure novel, Echoes Across Time, and co-founder of Spiral Whirled Travels: a website about World Travel, Time Travel & Flights of Fancy, she spends a lot of time in her imagination, and invites you to join her there while she racks up those SEE credits on her way to ministry!

A lifelong Unity student who also grew up in the L.A. suburbs, Stacy continued in Y.O.U. after high school to be an International Y.O.U. representative, before eventually making spiritual education for teens her career.  She also holds a Masters Degree in Public Health and is a Certified Reiki Master.

Michele Coles

Malayna met Michele at Unity Village in 2014 during Rev. Paulette Pipe’s Prayer Experience Retreat, held during the week of Unity’s World Day of Prayer. She was fascinated to learn that Michele holds a Bachelor’s degree in Popular Culture from Bowling Green State University! (She also has degrees in Computer Engineering, Online Teaching, and a Masters in Liberal Studies.)

Michele is a member of Unity Spiritual Center in Westlake, OH, where she serves on the board, but she’s also been a historical center docent, a ghost story tour guide, and a spiritual stand-up comic. She uses her good juju in her work for a large bank, and on the side has a business as a Soul Coach® and Clutter Clearing consultant, inspiring others to create their own authentic life experiences by releasing stuck energy and attachment to things that no longer represent who they are now.
