1000 Days



1000 Days


Have you ever considered just how much things change in your life over the course of time? Bit by bit, day by day, we become different people—that is if we choose to.

A thousand days ago, one of my mentor/coaches presented me with the 1000-day challenge.

What exactly is a 1000-day challenge?

Essentially, you create a vision of the life you desire unhindered by your own self-limiting beliefs. Some of the things you might say to yourself:

In 1000 days…

  • Do I love who I’m being to myself and to others?
  • How do I desire to show up?
  • Do I love what I am doing and who I’m doing it with?
  • Where do I live and with whom?
  • What do my relationships feel and look like?

When I agreed to this challenge, the very notion of creating a vision of what I wanted seemed nearly impossible.

I was working as the Executive Director of a National Nonprofit in what I once imagined to be my dream job, but I was beginning to see how misaligned I was in that role. My father had recently died; and before there was time to grieve one loss, my mother was showing signs of a serious illness that ultimately took her life. I was in a relationship that, while fun and comfortable, didn’t seem to be going anywhere.

From the outside though, my life looked pretty good. I was in relatively good health, lived in a beautiful downtown high-rise, I had lots of friends, a loving companion—my goldendoodle, Izzy—and the ability and freedom to travel frequently to places I loved.

In my heart, however, I felt lost and a little alone. I knew I was meant for so much more.

While I felt a little unworthy about receiving more from life, I managed to eek out a vague narrative of my vision which included my career, my purpose, my income, my relationships, and more.

Day by day, the days have clicked by, and I’ve undergone much of the transformation I set out to experience. Not everything has come to fruition in the way I thought it would; mostly due to my small thinking and getting in my own way, but that’s another story.

As I wrap up 2024, my 1000 days has also come to an end. The amazing thing for me is that over the course of a 1000 days, my life is completely different then it was when I started and I now know how powerful my thoughts and intentions can be, if only I allow myself to dream big and believe.


I’m excited to start my next 1000-day challenge on January 1, 2025, and this time, I’m going really big!


I’d like to personally invite you to join me on this journey of a 1000 days and if you could use some extra support along the way, schedule your free consultation with me today and together we’ll explore what’s possible for you!

Love and Light,

Wishing You Joy, Peace, and Gratitude This Holiday Season


As this year comes to a close and the holiday season wraps its arms around us, I want to take a moment to pause and let you know how much you mean to me.

EP 40: Every Other Weekend: Anthony Mohr’s Journey Through Divorce and Two Worlds


In this episode of Getting to the Heart – Life, Relationships, and Divorce, Michele Heffron sits down with Anthony (Tony) Mohr, retired Superior Court judge, Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative fellow, and author of Every Other Weekend. Together, they explore Tony’s deeply personal journey growing up with two vastly different fathers—a Hollywood actor and a conservative businessman—while navigating the emotional complexities of a post-divorce childhood.

The conversation touches on everything from Tony’s Beverly Hills upbringing during the Golden Age of Hollywood to the lessons he learned living between two households with contrasting cultures and values. Tony reflects on how his experiences shaped his path from aspiring actor to lawyer and judge, as well as the wisdom he now shares with parents navigating divorce.

Michele and Tony discuss the importance of supporting children’s emotional well-being during divorce, including the value of therapy, listening to children, and fostering safe, supportive environments. Tony shares heartfelt stories about his family dynamics, his mother’s behind-the-scenes heroics, and the lessons parents can take away from his book, Every Other Weekend, which is equal parts memoir and a window into a unique era of American life.

This inspiring and insightful episode offers guidance, hope, and meaningful takeaways for anyone navigating co-parenting, family transitions, or personal growth.

Navigating Divorce: Real Emotions, Real Growth Divorce isn’t something most of us see coming when we say, “I do.” And when it does happen, it’s not tidy or easy—it’s raw, messy, and often fueled by anger, resentment, or grief. I know this because I’ve been there, and I didn’t handle it well. My second divorce was a wake-up call, but not in the way you might think. At the time, I let my emotions take the wheel. I lashed out, made impulsive decisions, and let my pain dictate my actions. Looking...

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words Have you ever considered that you are a maker of miracles? Yes, you. Most of us go through life as though we’re reading a novel, flipping page after page, just waiting to see how it all turns out. We forget the most incredible truth: we are not passive readers—we’re the authors. Every moment, we’re generating our lives as though they were great works of art. But here’s the thing: it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture when you’re caught up in the...

Celebrating Small Wins During Divorce: Why They Matter When I think about celebrating small wins, it reminds me of a story from a client who we’ll call Mary. Mary was navigating her divorce with the weight of the world on her shoulders, feeling overwhelmed by the unknown. She wasn’t sure where to start, and every day felt like one more step on a never-ending uphill climb. Like many, she was stuck in the idea that her life wouldn’t be okay until all the pieces fell perfectly into place. But...
