As a results-driven motivational speaker and leadership coach, I have spent the past decade helping audiences and leaders achieve lasting impact. I have had the privilege of working with incredible clients and organizations and I look forward to bringing that energy and expertise to yours.
I didn’t just wake up confident in my career path — I had to fight through burnout, limiting beliefs, divorce, and the pressure to "do it all" without breaking. My business wasn’t growing, and affirmations alone weren’t enough. Sound familiar? That’s when I discovered the power of aligned coaching and leadership clarity.
My blog shares insights on mindset and leadership, offering practical strategies that help people and organizations grow with clarity, confidence, and impact.
These digital journals and guides were created to help you heal, reflect, and rebuild your life with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
I inspire people to connect, perform, and lead with purpose and emotional intelligence. Ready for a shift? Book me for your next event!
Dr. Herndon has a gift for helping you see your potential clearly and then empowering you to act on it. Her leadership coaching gave me the clarity and confidence to pursue a career shift I’d been avoiding for years. I left every session with direction, purpose, and a clear next step. Book her if you’re ready to move with intention.

Before working with Micaela, I felt completely stuck. Burned out in my role and unsure of my next step. Her coaching helped me identify my transferable skills, clarify my purpose, and land a new position that pays more and allows me to be fully present as a parent. She doesn't just coach...she transforms.
