In this episode, Michal Carlock explores why personal growth always requires change—and why so many women resist it even when they know they’re called for more.

Drawing from her personal healing journey, faith, and leadership experience, Michal shares how understanding self-worth transforms the way we lead, love, and build. She opens up about how God’s pursuit reshaped her identity, why healing is not optional for sustainable success, and how community accelerates transformation.

She also shares the heart and mission behind Her Promise Circle Foundation, a nonprofit committed to removing barriers to wellness, mental health, and personal development for women—before burnout or crisis.

This episode is for the woman who knows she’s meant for more but feels stretched, stuck, or hesitant to invest in herself. Healing isn’t a detour—it’s the foundation.

Because you are not broken. You are becoming.
