A Season of Me: Living Life on Your Terms episodes

  • Episode 51: The Language That's Running Your Life
    How words like “should,” “need to,” and “supposed to” quietly shape your identity.

    In this episode, Coach Heidi explores the hidden power of self-talk and how obligation language keeps so many women trapped in guilt, pressure, and inherited expectations. From “I should” to “I have to,” we unpack the subtle ways conditioning shows up in everyday language—and how to begin interrupting it.

    Plus, Heidi shares the CHOOSE Method, a simple framework for creating more conscious, compassionate, and empowered choices.

  • Episode 50: Choose Your Circle
    Choose Your Circle Carefully
    Why the women around you shape the woman you become.

    The people you spend the most time with shape more than your habits—they shape what feels possible for your life.

    In this episode, Coach Heidi explores the power of intentional community and why growth often requires building a new kind of support system. From cheerleaders and truth tellers to accountability partners and soul guides, we unpack the roles every woman needs in her personal “board of directors.”

    Because becoming the next version of yourself is hard enough. You were never meant to do it alone.

  • Episode 49: When Women Become Enforcers of the Rules
    So many of the “shoulds” women carry were never truly ours to begin with.

    In this episode, Coach Heidi explores how internalized misogyny shows up when women police themselves—and each other. From competition and scarcity, to outdated expectations around success, motherhood, ambition, and belonging, we unpack how systems of oppression often survive through the voices women learn to repeat.

    This is not a conversation about blame. It’s an invitation to awareness.

    Because the moment you question the rules… you begin to reclaim yourself.

  • Episode 48: You're Not Stuck, You're Torn
    If you’ve ever known what you want, but still can’t seem to move, this episode is for you.

    In this conversation, Coach Heidi explores the real reason so many high-achieving women feel stuck, even with clarity: internal conflict. The tension between who you’ve been conditioned to be and the version of you that’s trying to emerge.

    Add in the weight of the world right now, and it’s no wonder it feels hard to move forward.

    But what if this isn’t stuckness… but a moment of becoming?

    Choosing the next version of yourself isn’t just a decision, it’s a powerful act of rebellion against everything you’ve been taught to maintain.

  • Episode 47: The Power of a Season Mindset
    What if you’re not behind… but simply in the wrong season?

    In this episode, Coach Heidi explores how shifting from a timeline mindset to a season mindset can change everything. From understanding the different types of seasons we experience to releasing the pressure of constant productivity, this conversation offers a new way to see your life—with more clarity, permission, and peace.

    Because when you understand your season, you stop fighting your life—and start living it on purpose.

  • Episode 46: The Jesus We Forgot: Faith, Protest, and Asking Better Questions
    On this Good Friday episode of A Season of Me, Coach Heidi sits down with Pastor Rachel for a thoughtful and honest conversation about faith, protest, and what it really means to follow Jesus.

    From reexamining Palm Sunday as a moment of disruption, to Rachel’s personal experience being arrested while standing for her beliefs, this episode invites us to consider the stories we’ve been told—and the roles we assume within them.

    Because sometimes the most important question isn’t what we believe…

    but how we live it.

  • Episode 44: When It’s Time to Bloom
    What the first day of spring teaches us about growth, timing, and trusting your season.

    The first daffodils of spring remind us of something powerful: long before the flower appears, the real work has been happening underground.

    In this episode, Coach Heidi reflects on the energy of the first day of spring and what nature teaches us about timing, growth, and beginning before everything feels perfect. Because spring isn’t the harvest—it’s the season of planting, experimenting, and preparing for the fruit that will come later.

    If something new is stirring in your life right now, this conversation is an invitation to trust the season you’re in—and start blooming.

  • Episode 42: The Power of a Non-Negotiable Habit: 600 Workouts and a Mountain I Almost Talked Myself Out Of
    I recently celebrated my 600th workout at my gym — but the workouts between 500 and 600 meant the most. Why? Because life had gotten complicated, and the habit I built in a previous season carried me through.

    In this episode, I share how choosing myself for a season helped embed a non-negotiable habit into my identity, the story of hiking Potato Chip Rock with my daughter, and the mindset shift that changed how I see myself.

    When you prioritize yourself for a season, you build habits that sustain you for years.
