Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I'm delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project, and the creator of the women's revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.

We will then be joined by Heather Chauvin, who is a leadership coach who helps ambitious, overwhelmed women conquer their fears and become leaders at work and at home. Heather draws on her professional experience as a social worker and her life experience raising three boys to create a signature approach to help her clients create and enjoy sustainability, profitability, and ease in both business and life. 

Heather is the host of the Mom is in Control Podcast, where she reveals her most vulnerable truths about womanhood, marriage, parenting, living through her stage four cancer diagnosis and full remission, and running a successful business without burning out.

Quotes

• “...the only thing I can control is if I have all these odds against me, what I can do is just try, do the things that you don't think you are capable of.”
• “Because my son was my, why? Like that was my bigger, why, which was a great motivator and great start. And I had that energy and that like, anger of like, I'll show you I'll show I'll prove you wrong. But when you're trying to prove the world wrong, you burn out and you're doing it from an angry place, but it got me started. So. Then I fell in love with meditation and mindfulness because of his behavior, not my behavior, his behavior.”
• “So now my focus is how good can it get? How good can I feel? Um, And I watch how cultural perceptions of who I need to be shows up and how far removed I am from that.”
• “you have to observe your own behavior and go, why is it that when I actually create space for myself, I'm so incredibly uncomfortable.”
• “ I had to rise and it was, it sucked and I had to figure it out, but it forced me to take my power back. It wasn't about so much the treatment. It was the journey to get there. Um, it forced me to take my power back.
