About Michelle
Echoes & Embers was created by Michelle Sonnenfeld — entrepreneur, facilitator, strategist, educator, and woman who understands firsthand what it means to rebuild a life that no longer fits inside survival mode.
Michelle’s work sits at the intersection of entrepreneurship, burnout, neurodivergence, identity reinvention, emotional honesty, and sustainable growth. Her approach is especially resonant for ambitious women, entrepreneurs, creatives, helpers, and neurodivergent women navigating burnout, overwhelm, reinvention, and the realization that the old ways of functioning are no longer sustainable.
Before creating Echoes & Embers, Michelle spent over a decade in corporate sales and leadership specializing in:
Business development & strategic growth
Leadership development & training
Curriculum creation & facilitation
Sustainable systems & operational clarity
Emotionally intelligent leadership practices
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from Oklahoma State University and is a licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator in Colorado, which has deepened her work around integration, nervous system support, and sustainable transformation.
Michelle is also the co-founder of Kismet Collective, an integrative wellness space in Tulsa focused on sustainable healing, community-centered growth, and emotionally intelligent support practices.
Her work is grounded in the belief that women do not need to optimize themselves more efficiently for systems that are already draining them. Instead, she helps women reconnect with themselves, clarify what actually matters, and build lives and businesses that no longer require chronic self-abandonment to maintain.
This is not about perfection, hustle, or becoming more palatable.
It’s about building something more honest, sustainable, and fully your own.
About the Work
This work is not about forcing yourself to function more efficiently inside systems that are already draining you.
It’s about building a life, business, and way of being that no longer requires chronic self-abandonment to maintain.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, major transition, emotional exhaustion, entrepreneurship, neurodivergence, hormonal shifts, or the growing realization that the way you’ve been living no longer fits — these offerings are designed to support clarity, recalibration, sustainable growth, and deeper self-trust.
Echoes & Embers
Echoes & Embers was born from the tension between what lingers and what refuses to go out.
The echoes are the stories, identities, expectations, survival strategies, and patterns we carry long after they stop fitting. The embers are what remain underneath it all — the parts of ourselves still alive, still honest, still capable of becoming something new.
