In this episode of The Phoenix Table, we sit down with Michele Hecken, a serial entrepreneur, speaker, and author who built her first business from scratch while raising two young daughters, and later transformed it to run entirely without her.

Michele opens up about the “messy middle” of entrepreneurship: burnout, guilt, and the fear of letting go. She shares how redefining work-life balance as work-life harmony helped her create true freedom, both in business and in life. From learning the power of saying no to trusting herself again, Michele’s story is a masterclass in designing a life on your own terms.

If you’ve ever felt torn between ambition and well-being, this conversation will remind you that you can build both, and thrive.
