What do you do when you lose your dad, your marriage, and your entire identity in the same season of life? If you're Heather Morgan, you move across the country to a state you've never visited, book a recording studio, and hit record.

Heather is the host of Wandering the Wild Mess, an 80-plus episode podcast built on one belief: trust your path, no matter how messy it looks. She started it not because she had a strategy, but because she was so alone in her pain that she thought, I cannot be the only one feeling this way.

In this episode, Heather shares the life quake that started it all, why she committed to the yes before she knew the how, and what a five-paragraph review from a divorced man she'd never met told her about who her podcast was really for.
