Macea Whisettse is a leadership and executive coach, trauma support specialist, and speaker with a heart for helping women and leaders move beyond limiting patterns and discover what it means to live and lead with wholeness. For nearly a decade, she has led Wake Your Voice LLC and nothing brings her more joy than watching people release what no longer serves them and step into lives and leadership that feel grounded, confident, and thriving.
Macea’s expertise has been trusted by Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies, and international leaders. She has partnered with professional sports organizations, major retailers, as well as media, advocacy and civil rights groups.
Her journey has always been rooted in her values and leadership. She has served survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, invested in the next generation as an Assistant Principal at two charter schools, and led community initiatives through United Way and Family Service. These experiences shaped her trauma-informed and holistic approach—blending positive psychology, strategic leadership, and compassionate coaching to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and safe to grow.
Macea also brings her voice behind the scenes as an experienced ghostwriter, helping executives and thought leaders share their vision with authenticity and impact. Whether she’s coaching one-on-one, equipping teams, or shaping stories, her focus remains the same: amplifying diverse voices, building resilience, and empowering leaders at every level to create meaningful, lasting change.
At the core of her work is a deep belief in healing and empowerment. Macea is dedicated to helping individuals and organizations break cycles, build resilience, and embrace success that is both sustainable and soul-satisfying.
