Heidi Tucker, author and motivational speaker, has become pretty good at seeing the positive every single day despite her struggle with depression. This perspective surprisingly led to her writing her first book at the tender age of 50, as well as several books since that time. Heidi joins the Relentlessly Resilient podcast today to discuss the tools and techniques she uses to turn intrusive negative thoughts into a positive, encouraging, outlook. And she shares the story and inspiration behind her latest book The Secret Keepers, which tells the real-life struggle of a woman dealing with Dissociative Identity Disorder. While abuse, mental illness, and tragedy touch many lives, Heidi shows that you can survive that turmoil and turn it into a triumphant driving force in your life. 

Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
