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?” She explores: What it looks like to begin again—even when it feels impossible How fear, obligation, and guilt (FOG) keep women trapped in relationships, roles, and routines The truth about perfectionism and control—and how they’re stealing your joy Why now, in a world that feels chaotic and uncertain, is exactly the time to invest in yourself The profound shifts that happen when you say yes to the woman you’re becoming Michèle reminds us that choosing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s sacred. And that reinvention doesn’t begin with doing—it begins with remembering who you are. Whether you’re quietly unraveling inside a seemingly “fine” life, or standing at the edge of change, this episode is a call to stop waiting for permission and start listening to the part of you that already knows: This is your time.
