A former pharmaceutical executive turned maternal wellness leader, Dr. Michelle blends science and soul through her S.M.A.R.T. Journey to Parenting™ framework — empowering working moms to move beyond survival mode and into intentional, purpose-driven leadership at home and at work.
Together, Marisa and Dr. Michelle unpack the mindset shifts, practical strategies, and emotional tools that help working moms evolve through life’s biggest transitions — without sacrificing success, sanity, or self.
