BeingWell.life

Hi, I'm Alicia Maciel, MBA

Leadership & Wellbeing Coach · Mindfulness Teacher

Alicia Maciel

I founded BeingWell.life with a simple but powerful belief: that when we tend to our inner world, everything else begins to shift. Our relationships deepen, our work becomes more meaningful, and we move through life with greater ease and purpose.

For over two decades I worked in corporate America — at Chevron, Disney, and beyond — while quietly navigating the invisible weight that so many professional women carry: the pressure to perform, the pull of family, the slow erosion of self. I know what it feels like to succeed on the outside while struggling on the inside.

My own turning point came through mindfulness, coaching, and the courageous work of looking inward. Today I bring those same tools — and the hard-won wisdom of lived experience — to the women I work with.
