Michèle Heffron
Life, Love and Divorce Coach
Fear, doubt and self-sabotage are three things that divorcing women are prone to, myself included all those years ago. When I was getting divorced, I wish I’d have had an opportunity to work with Michèle to help me with those emotions, and to help me get back on track and to a life I love. (I got there, but it would have been sooo much easier and would have happened a lot quicker with Michèle’s help! There is so much to figure out after divorce and Michèle has the training, the experience, and the passion to do that.
What I love so much about Michèle is her story. She has lived the life of the demographic she is passionate about helping. Michèle said she hit rock bottom when she got divorced over a decade ago. With a collage-aged daughter and junior high-school aged son, she had no job, no money in the bank, and not even a credit card!
At age 49, Michèle set out to reinvent herself going back into the work force, raising her kids, caring for her aging parents, and then of course, starting her coaching practice. There is a positivity, a great energy and such class and grace I see in Michèle. I am so excited to have her on the Divorced Girl Smiling Trusted Professional team!
About Michèle
Years ago, I left a marriage that no longer reflected the woman I was becoming. It was painful, disorienting, and necessary. I didn’t have all the answers—just a knowing that I couldn’t keep living a life that wasn’t mine. What followed was a slow, honest reinvention. I learned how to sit with the unknown.I redefined self-worth. And I began building a life rooted in clarity, love, and alignment. That journey changed me. And it’s why I do the work I do now—because I know what it takes to begin again.
Decades of leading teams and building programs for organizations devoted to healing taught me how to hold space for what’s unspoken. I learned to listen between the lines, lead with compassion, and stay present in the discomfort of real transformation. That wisdom still guides me—because true change doesn’t happen from the outside in, but from the heart outward.
I am passionate about this work because I know what it’s like to lose yourself, and what it takes to find your way forward. Because I believe in the quiet power of a woman who chooses herself. Because I’ve lived the questions—and made a life from the answers. And because I know the moment you remember who you are, everything changes. If your heart is whispering there’s more for me, Trust it. And if you’re ready… I’d be honored to walk with you.
