Meet Our Founder

Michal Renee Carlock is the Founder and Executive Director of Her Promise Circle Foundation, a Georgia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing community-based, preventative wellness programming for women in DeKalb County through a hybrid in-person and virtual model that extends access nationally and globally.

She is deeply committed to ensuring women have access to early, stabilizing supports before burnout or crisis occurs—particularly women navigating chronic stress, high responsibility, caregiving roles, and limited access to consistent wellness resources. This commitment is informed by both her professional background in critical care healthcare and her lived understanding of how delayed support contributes to long-term physical, emotional, and mental strain.

Michal holds a Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care, is a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT), and a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). She brings over a decade of experience working in critical care and wellness education, grounding the Foundation’s programs in education, prevention, and sustainable behavior change. She also hosts The Her Promise Circle Podcast, ranked in the top 3% globally by ListenNotes, expanding access to preventative wellness conversations for women worldwide.

Through Her Promise Circle Foundation, Michal envisions a DeKalb County where women are supported earlier, remain engaged in their well-being, and are better positioned to strengthen their households and contribute to healthier, more resilient communities.
