Heather and Gabi sit down to talk about the positives and negatives of MLM's and direct sales. Gabi shares her experience in direct sales and how she learned how to be successful without being a Spammy Pammy in the DM's.

There is a better way to build connections and still work towards your goals. You don't have to give in to "hustler harder" culture to get the life you want.

Building authentic connections takes time but and there is no legit get rich quick way to building an empire. Wouldn't you rather do it in a way that you're proud of? I promise friends, the "Hey girl hey" messages and harassing your friends is NOT the way.

In this solo episode Heather talks about learning how to live life with no regrets. Nearly five years ago, Heather lost her youngest daughter Madi due to a heart defect and heterotaxy syndrome. This was one of the hardest ways Heather had to learn to live in love instead of the wishes and wants of the past. We all wish we could have chose a different path looking at the past. The unfortunate truth is, it wouldn't have changed the outcome. Heather shares the hardest parts of letting Madi go and the most significant regrets she had to work through.    Heather also talks about the relationships with her friends and family. The relationships that have come and gone and how they can evolve over time. We don't waste time on people. We may not realize it at the time but they all provide value to our lives. Even if that value is wrapped up in heartbreak, there is still something we can learn from every relationship around us. We don't have to regret the time we've spent with someone. We can be thankful for the lessons they've taught us even if they're hard to see in the moment.

Heather sits down with Cherie Urban as she shares how she found love again after an abusive marriage.

Cherie reminds us that you have to love yourself before you can really love someone else. How important is it to enjoy the season of being single, taking trips, spending time with girlfriends and new adventures.

She shares how she met her husband Marco and becoming a step mom. Coparenting realness, the good, the bad, the ugly!

In this episode Heather talks to Stef about her life changing decisions that brought bravery to the forefront of her daily actions. 

From heartache to rediscovery Stef talks about what she went through starting at just 13 years old. 

She is uplifting, caring, loving and also very brave. We could all learn a thing or two from Stef's journey From Broken to Brave. 

This is a clip from the episode, The Journey of Infertility and Raising Rainbow Babies. 

Jess starts her story and wishes she could go back and tell her younger self to "calm down, everything will work out." 

 

This is a clip from the episode The Power of Paying it Forward Part 1. 

"Nothing changes if you stay silent." Aaron is always dropping his words of wisdom and this is no exception. 

This is a clip from the episode, Heather and Erik Tell All. 

This is where it all started with their relationship. From the banana bread to being girlfriend and boyfriend, this is definitely a fan favorite story. 

Erik and I are coming up on our 17th wedding anniversary so I thought it was fitting to sit down with my beloved and give you the raw, uncut marriage story nobody tells. I'm a firm believer in telling your story right in the middle of the mess and that's what we do. We share the birth of our love story, meeting in high school, getting pregnant young, married at 19 and Erik joining the military.

We talk about what marriage counseling is like, separation talks and what NOT to do in marriage. We're not experts by any means but hopefully you can learn from our mistakes.

This episode isn't just for married couples, this episode is for anyone who wants to better all of their relationships.

Keep fighting friends, better days are on the horizon. You're in the middle of the mess? That's okay! The important part is that you learn and grow from it.
