The moment you realize:



The moment you realize:

“I can’t live like this anymore.”


“…this coach—whoever she is—is seriously messing with your head…”

That’s what my client’s husband said after more than 25 years of marriage.
Why? Because she started changing.
She started remembering who she was.

A well-educated, high-achieving woman who had given up a dream career, spent decades managing the household, raising the kids, organizing everyone’s lives, and keeping herself so busy just to avoid the pain of feeling completely forgotten and invisible.
All while married to a man who expected control over everything—from which toothpaste she bought to how she expressed her own feelings.

When she started reclaiming her voice, it triggered something in him.
Anger. Blame. Gaslighting. Dismissiveness.
Because her clarity was disrupting the system. A system that worked great—for him.

But she had had enough. And through our work together, she began to feel what had long been buried:
Her value. Her voice. Her vision for something more.

I’ve heard this story again and again.

It breaks my heart.
And I’ve lived it myself.

There was a moment in my own marriage—on the outside, everything looked "fine"—when I realized with painful clarity:
If I had to retire with this man, I would shrivel up and die.
It was brutal. But it was true.
And it changed everything.

So, if you’ve ever had a moment like that—where your heart whispered, I can’t keep living like this,
I want you to know something:

You are not selfish.
You are not crazy.
You are not too late.

You’re just waking up.

And if you don’t know where to start, that’s okay. That’s why I’m here.

When We Bloom


“The flower doesn’t dream of the bee.
It blossoms and the bee comes.”

—Mark Nepo

I used to believe that if I could just get it right—be prettier, quieter, easier to love—then love would find me.

So, I became a shapeshifter.
I polished. I shrank. I read books, made vision boards, performed emotional acrobatics, and told myself stories about timing, karma, and fate.

I turned myself into someone I thought someone else could love.

And yet... the love I was aching for never seemed to arrive in the way I hoped.

Now I know, I wasn’t calling in love. I was trying to outrun the parts of me that still felt unworthy of it.

It wasn’t until I stopped performing—and started becoming—that things began to shift.

EPISODE 56

What If You’re Not Stuck—You’re Just Waiting for Permission?


In this powerful solo episode of Getting to the Heart, Michèle Heffron invites you into an honest, soul-level conversation about what it really takes to break free from the weight of stuckness—especially for women in midlife who have spent decades showing up for everyone else.

Back from a trip to Italy, Michèle shares how quickly the feeling of being stuck returned the moment she got off the plane—a reminder that no matter how far we travel, the real journey is inward.

Drawing from her own story of leaving an emotionally controlling marriage with no financial safety net, rebuilding a career from scratch, and stepping into the unknown of entrepreneurship and self-worth, Michèle speaks directly to the woman who’s wondering, “Is this all there is?” and “What if I want more?”

Love Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry…? Really? As a starry-eyed 9-year-old in 1970, I still remember the flurry of excitement from several of my teenage aunties over the film Love Story, starring Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw. It’s long been heralded as one of the great cinematic romances, and I’ll admit—I still find myself unwittingly watching it on those lazy, “wear-my-pjs-all-day” afternoons. It’s the kind of film that wraps you in the beauty of young love, grand gestures, and aching...
