Angela Patete
Chief Embodiment Officer (CEO)
Founder
Angela Patete is a corporate leader and strategist with more than 35 years of experience operating inside complex power systems, bringing a rare ability to translate lived leadership experience into insight, clarity, and grounded guidance.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Angela built a successful career in corporate leadership and technology sales, including nearly two decades with Apple, where she became a top-performing sales executive serving K–12 education. She understands strategy, influence, negotiation, and results from lived experience inside competitive, male-dominated environments, while simultaneously developing a keen intuitive awareness that informed her guidance long before she had language for it.
Angela’s tenure at Apple was marked by sustained excellence and measurable success. She earned multiple sales awards and national accolades, including being ranked the #1 Account Executive in the United States twice, achieving the #1 position as the top Account Executive in the Eastern U.S., and receiving multiple award trips. She was also perennially ranked in the top five nationally for value-added professional services, professional learning, and AppleCare attach rates.
Angela and her team served Western Pennsylvania and the state of West Virginia. Upon her retirement at the end of 2025, West Virginia stood as the only state in the country with an Apple penetration rate approaching 70% market share, again ranking #1 nationally for sustainable market-share penetration. Together, Angela and her team built and maintained turnkey, reliable, and customer-first strategies that drove consistent success year over year, including through the unprecedented challenges of the 2020 pandemic.
And within those years, she listened to a deeper call.
After decades of achievement, motherhood, marriage, and responsibility, Angela experienced a profound inner awakening, one that carried her beyond external success and into embodied sovereignty. She apprenticed in shamanic and energy-based practices, reclaimed her intuitive intelligence, and stepped into her work as The Rose Heart, a modern shamanic practitioner, soul oracle, liberation catalyst, and guide for women remembering who they are beneath conditioning, obligation, and inherited silence.
Angela now bridges two worlds. She speaks the language of business and the language of spirit. She understands money, power, systems, and psychology, and she understands leadership, the heart, and the intuitive intelligence of the feminine. Her work lives at the intersection where these forces meet, dissolve distortion, and restore balance.
Through public speaking, transformational events, social media storytelling, and one-on-one work, Angela supports and activates women to reclaim their agency, authority, and self-trust. She is known for her clarity, warmth, humor, and unapologetic truth-telling, offering insight that is both grounding and catalytic.
Angela is the author of Women, Sex, & Power. The Matriarch’s Rise in the Age of Awakening. She is a proud mother to an adult son and a devoted cat mom to her tuxedo companion, Cupid. A lifelong Pittsburgher and avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Angela can often be found around the city, whether in the Strip District, on the North Shore, in the Cultural District, at a music venue or local festival, or enjoying time with friends at one of Pittsburgh’s vibrant restaurants.
She is a fitness and mindfulness enthusiast, values time for restoration, often found traveling to the Caribbean or enjoying cruise vacations, and remains actively involved in women-centered groups and causes throughout the Pittsburgh community. She also happens to have a fondness for collecting one-of-a-kind stemless wine glasses.
Who We Serve
Our clients include executives, entrepreneurs, educators, nonprofit leaders, organizations, and individuals
navigating seasons of growth and transition. While every journey is unique, they share a common desire:
to lead and serve with greater clarity, authenticity, wisdom, resilience, and coherence.
Whether you are leading or developing an organization, a business, a classroom, a nonprofit, a community,
or simply the next chapter of your own life, you influence the people and systems around you.
HERera meets you where you are.
At HERera, we recognize that healthy leadership is not defined by title; it's defined by embodiment. HERera was created
for people who know there must be a better way to lead, live, and create in a rapidly changing world.
What We Do
HERera develops the human capacity from which stronger leadership, healthier organizations, and more resilient communities grow.
Our work brings together philosophy, leadership development, reflective practice, and real-world application
into a coherent approach that helps people think with greater clarity, lead with greater intention,
collaborate with greater trust, and navigate change with confidence.
We believe extraordinary leadership is not created by adding more to people, but by helping
them cultivate the coherence that has always been possible within them.
Through education, coaching, consulting, speaking, workshops, and organizational partnerships, HERera helps individuals,
teams, and organizations develop the human qualities that allow people, and the systems they create, to flourish together.
What Makes HER Unique
HERera offers a fresh approach through a Coherent Integration Framework™
Most traditional leadership models have been shaped by principles that emphasize performance, competition, hierarchy, achievement, and external measures of success. While these approaches have value, they often overlook the relational, intuitive, and integrative strengths that are inherent in effective leadership.
HERera offers a different approach.
Unlike traditional coaching, mentoring, or leadership programs, HERera™ is a coherent integration framework that develops
the whole person through the cultivation of I² (Integrated Intelligence)™.
I² (Integrated Intelligence)™
A higher-order form of intelligence that arises when intellect and intuition operate in coherence rather than opposition. HERera helps people align heart, mind, and action so they can lead with greater confidence, authenticity, and impact in every area of life. Rather than asking people to become someone different, HERera helps them integrate who they already are.
