From the white coat to the crown, Dr. Angela Harden-Mack, MD, wears both with grace, grit, and purpose. As a nationally recognized physician, international keynote speaker, and the newly crowned Ms. Michigan Corporate America 2025, she’s rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a high-achieving woman who’s both accomplished and aligned.

Her journey from burnout to breakthrough is more than just a personal transformation—it’s a blueprint for professional women ready to reclaim their wholeness.

“I was living the ‘Superwoman’ script—successful on the outside but silently unraveling on the inside,” Harden-Mack said. “I had checked all the boxes: a thriving career in medicine, a happy home life, and accolades to match. But what I didn’t have was energy, joy, or peace.”

That breaking point became her turning point.

Harden-Mack began a deeply personal wellness journey—one that led her not just to healing but to her calling: helping other high-performing women shift from hustle to harmony. That calling birthed Live Great Lives Holistic Wellness Coaching, a brand rooted in science, faith, and feminine energy wisdom. It’s now the vehicle through which she empowers women across the globe to live fully, well, and free.

Her signature Diamond Wellness Framework is a groundbreaking approach that blends modern medicine with mindfulness, spiritual wellness, and lifestyle coaching. Unlike cookie-cutter self-care advice, her methodology is tailored for driven women who are tired of being everything to everyone—and ready to reconnect with themselves.

“I guide women to prioritize their wellness not as a luxury, but as a leadership strategy,” Harden-Mack said. “When a woman is well, she leads better, loves deeper, and lives fuller.”

A dual board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Dr. Harden-Mack has also earned distinction as a trailblazer in Obesity Medicine and integrative wellness. She holds advanced training in lifestyle medicine and stress management and is an ordained Bible teacher—bringing a multi-dimensional perspective to health and healing.

What sets her apart is not only her clinical expertise but her lived experience. Her transformation from Exhausted Superwoman to Energized WELL Woman isn’t just a catchphrase—it’s her testimony.

And her influence is only growing.

She’s a sought-after speaker on stages from Detroit to DC to Dubai, known for delivering powerful talks on burnout, purpose, and feminine power. She’s been honored with the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award and numerous accolades for her work in women’s empowerment. As a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., she continues to serve as a mentor and motivator to the next generation of female leaders.

And yes, she’s also learning to ride horses.

“For a woman raised in the city, stepping up to a 1,200-pound horse is no small feat,” she said with a laugh. “But every time I get on that horse, I feel powerful. It reminds me that it’s never too late to learn, grow, or do something bold.”

That same boldness is behind her platform as Ms. Michigan Corporate America 2025, where she’s using her reign to champion wellness in the workplace and amplify her message to working women everywhere: Wholeness is not optional—it’s foundational.

“In corporate spaces, there’s often a silence around women’s wellness,” Harden-Mack said. “We wear busyness as a badge of honor. But I’m here to disrupt that narrative. You can lead in boardrooms and still honor your body. You can show up strong without burning out. You can rise—and still rest.”

Her digital wellness hub, Live Great Lives Holistic Wellness Coaching, offers free resources like her Thrive & Balance Wellness Quiz and transformational tools such as Goddess on the Go: Inner Self-Care for the Unstoppable Woman. Her upcoming retreat, The Diamond Unveiled Experience, promises to be a soul-nourishing immersion into feminine renewal and purpose-aligned power.

In the next few years, Harden-Mack envisions her brand expanding to include books, podcasts, and more international stages. She’s also forging partnerships with progressive organizations ready to prioritize employee well-being—especially for women in leadership.

“I believe wellness is a ripple effect,” she said. “When a woman is aligned and thriving, her team, her family, and her community benefit too.”

With each client, each keynote, and each coaching session, Dr. Angela Harden-Mack is not just inspiring women—she’s awakening them.

Awakening them to the truth that success doesn’t have to cost your soul. That wellness isn’t a weekend luxury—it’s a daily devotion. And that high performance can coexist with high peace.

From food stamps to physician to pageant queen, Dr. Harden-Mack is living proof that you can evolve without apology, shine without burnout, and lead from a place of deep, divine wellness.
