Exclusive Interview with Dr. Angela Harden Mack

It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story? How did you get to where you are today?

Thank you! It’s truly an honor to be featured. My journey began as a medical doctor dedicated to helping people achieve better health. But over time, I realized that true wellness isn’t just about treating illness—it’s about cultivating a life of wholeness, balance, and vitality. Like many high-achieving women, I found myself caught in the cycle of overwork and juggling a demanding schedule, sacrificing my well-being in the name of success. That experience became my turning point.

I shifted my focus from simply treating physical health to empowering women with a holistic wellness approach that integrates modern medicine with ancient wisdom. This led me to create Live Great Lives Holistic Wellness Coaching, where I help high-achieving women redefine success, embrace well-being, and transform from overwhelmed to empowered. Today, as an international speaker, best-selling author, and coach, I inspire and equip women to step into their highest, healthiest, and most radiant selves.

I’m sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?

Absolutely. One of my biggest challenges was breaking free from the “Superwoman” mentality—the belief that success requires self-sacrifice. As a professional woman, I faced the pressure to excel in my career while balancing family, relationships, and personal well-being. I know firsthand how easy it is to put yourself last, and I had to unlearn that mindset.

Another challenge was shifting the cultural narrative around wellness. Many women believe that exhaustion is the price of ambition, but I’m here to disrupt that myth. True success isn’t about constantly pushing through; it’s about aligning with your inner power, listening to your body, and honoring your well-being.

My own journey from hustle to harmony fuels my passion for helping other women navigate these same struggles. It’s not just about health—it’s about reclaiming your life.

Lets talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in, and why should someone work with you over the competition?

I specialize in holistic wellness for high-achieving women, particularly those navigating demanding careers, leadership roles, and businesses. Through my coaching programs, speaking engagements, and resources, I guide women in transforming their lifestyles from stress-driven to soul-aligned.

What sets me apart is my Diamond Wellness Framework, which integrates four essential pillars: healthcare, well-care, self-care, and inner self-care. I combine my expertise as a physician with the ancient healing arts, mindfulness practices, and personal development strategies to create a customized, sustainable approach to wellness.

Women work with me because I deeply understand their struggles—I’ve lived them. I don’t just preach balance; I empower women to embody it in a way that feels natural, powerful, and fulfilling. When you work with me, you’re not just improving your health—you’re transforming your entire life.

What’s your best piece of advice for readers who desire to find success in their life?

Redefine success on your terms. Too often, we chase society’s version of success—titles, accolades, financial milestones—only to realize that we’ve neglected the most important asset: ourselves.

True success comes when you align your ambition with your well-being. My advice? Prioritize wholeness over hustle. Make your wellness a non-negotiable part of your life. When you care for yourself—mind, body, and spirit—you show up more powerfully in your career, relationships, and purpose. Success is not about doing more; it’s about being more.

Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?

To me, success is living according to my purpose, in relationship with my God, and in alignment with spiritual principles—feeling vibrant, fulfilled, and purpose-driven while making a meaningful impact. It’s not just about professional achievements; it’s about creating a life where my well-being, relationships, and contributions to the world are in harmony.

Success is waking up with energy, leading with intention, and knowing that I’m living a life of purpose without compromising my peace. It’s about empowering other women to do the same—because when women thrive, the world transforms.

What’s next for you?

I’m expanding my mission in powerful ways! I’m launching new programs and resources designed to help high-achieving women master holistic wellness in a way that fits their busy lives. My Inner Self-Care Kit and Feminine Energy programs are helping women unlock their radiance, confidence, and balance.

I am honored to have been selected as Ms. Detroit and will be competing in the Michigan Ms. Corporate America Competition in March. This isn’t just a competition for me—it’s an opportunity to elevate and advance the mission of women’s wellness and work-life balance. It’s a platform to share the vision that women can confidently prioritize their well-being while excelling in their careers, leadership, and personal lives.

I’m also excited about upcoming speaking engagements, book projects, and collaborations that will amplify the message of The Well Woman Lifestyle—a movement to redefine success for women worldwide.

My goal is simple: to help more women break free from the hustle culture with the increased risk of burnout, embrace their divine feminine power, and Live Great Lives. Because when a woman thrives, everyone around her benefits.
