Number 1: 1278: What Every Adult Needs to Hear From the Next Generation
"Before you try to tell your kid what to do, you've got to look at yourself. You've got to really reflect on the things that you're doing." In this episode, Heather sits down with two remarkable young adults who have been part of her life in different ways: her 21-year-old son, Logan, and Brooklyn, a longtime family friend she's had the privilege of watching grow into adulthood. Woven together with her reflections, these conversations offer an honest look at what our maturing kids are craving from the adults around them and what happens when we choose to guide rather than control. They explore the lasting impact of feeling seen, the tension between protecting our children and preparing them for life, and the ways our own fears, expectations, and unresolved stories can shape the next generation without us realizing it. Whether you're raising young children, parenting adult kids, mentoring someone, or simply reflecting on your own upbringing, this episode is an invitation to listen with fresh ears. Sometimes the greatest lessons about leadership, connection, and emotional maturity come from the very people we've been trying to teach all along. What to listen for: ☑️ When children live on their own and learn what "no one's coming to save you" means ☑️ Embracing uncertainty and what it looks like to have a safe support system in life ☑️ The privilege of suffering and how it helps us heal and grow more quickly "Until I faced my shit and realized all the things that I need to overcome, all the overwhelming feelings and the fear and just all my shit, that was when I started my journey of getting through it and slowly chipping away at some big issues." ☑️ No matter where you go, you still have to face yourself and work through your shit ☑️ How the current systems are manipulating young adults into focusing on money ☑️ Experiencing contrast and navigating the projection of fear as a parent "At the end of the day, there's not one parent that's great. Parents fuck up. We're all human beings. We're all learning. It's just a matter of how much you choose to learn." ☑️ How getting in touch with your emotions can change you and your entire life ☑️ Dropping our conditioning to open up more possibilities in our lives and careers ☑️ Understanding the only control we truly have in uncertain situations "Just take the action. Like a game, if you take the action, it will happen, but you just have to have that consistency. You have to push yourself. You can't half-ass it." ☑️ Knowing when to show support and when to hold your children accountable ☑️ Being present for your kids without judging their lives or projecting onto them ☑️ The importance of aligning your environment with who you want to be *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life.

Number 2: 1276: What My Three Boys [13, 16, 21] Forced Me to Stop Doing Recently
"You cannot make an impact on anybody unless you are willing to change your internal ecosystem." In this episode, Heather challenges some of the most deeply rooted assumptions about parenting, leadership, and what it really means to prepare our children for adulthood, especially our boys. She takes an honest look at the emotional dynamics between men and women, how dependence is often learned rather than our inherent nature, and why both sons and daughters benefit when we teach responsibility, communication, and resilience instead of rescuing. At its heart, this episode is an invitation to lead with intention, hold loving boundaries, and recognize that our role as parents doesn't end when our children become adults What to listen for: ☑️ Why not everyone has the DNA to go for the next level in their life or work ☑️ Making things happen is actually pretty boring, which is why most people don't do it ☑️ The biggest lie we're told is that we're done parenting when our kids reach 18 "I've made the conscious decision that I'm not here to wipe my kids' ass for the rest of their life, but I am here to be their rock, their person, and their guide. When we choose to be a leader to our children, to be the integrator, to support them along this journey, things will change." ☑️ 'Independent men' don't exist, and what that means for us as women ☑️ Why men haven't been able to emotionally free themselves from women yet ☑️ All humans struggle; some are just better at communicating it than others "I had to soften, and the number one thing that I realized is men struggle too. I didn't realize how much they struggle, and I didn't realize how dependent they are on nurturing." ☑️ Without evidence of what they're carrying, how do you know you carry more? ☑️ Raising men that understand emotional labor and domestic responsibility ☑️ Understanding resistance and learning how to hold hard boundaries "I've taught them that they can use their voice to communicate what's going on, and that I'm going to actively listen. And not all their problems need to be fixed by me. One of the core wounds that I see women do is needing to fix their behavior." ☑️ Men learn to be dependent on women based on how they were raised ☑️ Teaching your male children the skills they need to become independent ☑️ Why letting your children have their own identity outside of us is so crucial *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life.

Number 3: 1281: How Good Are You Willing to Feel? With Dr. Maggie
"If you want to feel alive and energized and lead people, you've got to do things differently." In this episode, Heather and Dra. Margarita Ramírez (aka Dr. Maggie) step into a deeply personal conversation about what it means to take ownership of your health, question the beliefs you've inherited about your body, and remain open to possibilities outside the systems and approaches you've always known. Heather shares her own journey navigating the long-term effects of cancer treatment, hormonal changes, fatigue, and the persistent feeling that something in her body was off, leading her to seek a different perspective while living in Mexico. From Heather's experience with placenta injections to the broader conversation around inflammation, metabolism, peptides, and preparing the body for healing, this episode opens the door to a larger question: how good are you willing to let yourself feel? What to listen for: ☑️ Medical tourism and expanding your healing team beyond traditional medicine ☑️ No longer doing anything that isn't life-enhancing, or that leads to burnout ☑️ Results Heather experienced from getting placenta injections in Mexico "Listen to your body because if you have any kind of symptoms that you normalize, it's not you. It's something inside of you that needs to change" ☑️ What regenerative medicine is, and how Dr. Maggie started practicing it ☑️ Finding a doctor that knows how to listen to what your body is saying ☑️ The importance of getting different perspectives on health issues "The placenta is most important for getting nutrition to babies. If you realize that it's responsible for giving growing babies nutrition, imagine what kind of benefits you can get from that." ☑️ Having a proactive, long-game perspective, and looking from varying angles ☑️ The reason placenta healing works more quickly at a cellular level ☑️ Learning how to value your health on a holistic, deep level About Dra. Margarita Ramírez: Dr. Margarita Ramírez Amaro is a family medicine specialist with more than 17 years of experience dedicated to the holistic health of her patients. Throughout her career, she has focused on going beyond conventional treatments; instead, she addresses the root cause of disease through a comprehensive and highly personalized approach. In addition, she holds a Diploma in Functional Medicine with a body–mind perspective. Over the past four years, she has developed extensive experience in functional medicine, working with the firm conviction that proper nutrition and targeted supplementation can significantly improve health and overall quality of life. As a result, her approach seeks to treat the body from within. By doing so, she strengthens the body's natural self-regulation mechanisms and emphasizes long-term prevention rather than temporary symptom relief. Connect with Dra.

Number 4: 1280: There Are Four Types Of Profit. I Bet You're Only Chasing One.
"When things look successful on the outside, but they don't feel successful on the inside, that's because you're only obsessed with one type of profit." In this episode, Heather explores the four types of profit and why financial success is only one piece of a much bigger picture. In other words, what if the life you want isn't just about making more money, having more time, or checking more boxes, but about learning how to create a life that actually feels good to live? This conversation is an invitation to rethink what you're actually building and ask whether the way you're spending your time, energy, and attention is creating more of the life you want or quietly pulling you further away from it. Because true abundance isn't about squeezing more out of yourself. It's about learning to value your time, your body, your relationships, your purpose, and your financial wellbeing as crucial parts of the same life. What to listen for:☑️ Why financial literacy is a core foundation, a basic human need, and a skill ☑️ Understanding the four types of profit and why you can't only focus on one ☑️ Taking radical responsibility for how you want to feel and not masking "You're still not taking radical responsibility for how you want to feel. You're not honoring your boundaries, your vision, your capacity. You're hiding and playing small because you're avoiding being human." ☑️ If you're giving less to yourself, how can you ever be more for your child? ☑️ Being the woman and role model that your 20-year-old self would look up to ☑️ The reason most women back away when on the verge of transformation "You have to think differently. You have to fight for a new life, a new identity. You have to give a fucking shit. A sliver of it. That's it, and do something that's slightly uncomfortable." ☑️ It's one thing to be scared and uncomfortable; it's another to lie to yourself ☑️ You're not 'doing everything for your kids' if you're being performative ☑️ When you're constantly reacting, your body starts deteriorating "If you have zero emotional intelligence skills, you'll have zero time on your hands. You're going to feel so unfulfilled, and you are going to waste your one precious life." ☑️ Learning how to put yourself first on your calendar, and why it matters ☑️ Understanding what your body craves and how to not eject from your body ☑️ The key to using time in alignment with the life you want to live *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life.

Number 5: 1275: What Happens When Your Soul Aligns With Your Life With Corey Colwell
"We should not be listening to things outside of us. Your body is telling you what you need." In this episode, Heather and Corey Colwell explore what happens when life forces you to stop long enough to hear the messages your body has been trying to communicate all along. Through a remarkable story that begins with a coyote bite at two years old and winds through years of health challenges, motherhood, overachievement, and a profound near-death experience, this conversation invites you into the space where intuition, healing, and purpose converge. At its heart, this episode is about learning to listen, not to the endless noise outside of us, but to the wisdom already living within our bodies, our souls, and the quiet nudges that keep trying to guide us back toward alignment, vitality, and a life that feels deeply alive. What to listen for: ☑️ How getting bitten by a coyote at two years old shaped her passion in later life ☑️ Busyness and constantly moving forward keep you from listening to my body ☑️ The near-death experience that helped Corey choose to be in this life "When people say fighting for your life, you have to recruit everything to get alive again. And so I fought my way back from that moment." ☑️ The importance of listening to that intuitive primal knowing when it comes up ☑️ What it feels like when your soul fully aligns with your body and human experience ☑️ Why it wasn't enough to just be alive and in bed, and what helped turn things around "I was alive, and everyone's like, 'Great, just stay in bed.' And what happened is I started to experience an intellectual and passion death because my entire why is to solve problems and innovate." ☑️ How to start answering the question of what your body actually needs to thrive ☑️ Why we try to control the outcomes in our children's lives rather than surrendering ☑️ We shouldn't be listening to things outside of us; we should be leaning in *** About Corey Colwell: Corey Colwell doesn't study problems.
