Heather Thomson is an inventor, philanthropist, entrepreneur, speaker, licensed health and wellness coach and adventurer who joins me on the podcast to share her story of growing up in small-town America and ending up in the bright lights of New York City working with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Sean Puffy Combs and Beyoncé.

I got to know about @iamheathert when I watched her in The Real Housewives of New York, the highly successful @bravotv show following the lives of Manhattan’s elite social circle. It was clear, even via the lens of an edited reality TV show that Heather is a shrewd businesswoman, incredibly fair and someone who prides themselves on being a loyal, supportive friend, which made her really interesting to watch.

In addition to her TV work Heather is a designer and has recently trained as a health and wellness coach as well as starting her own podcast In My Heart with Heather Thomson where she has interviewed a string of varied and highly accomplished guests.

In this conversation, Heather and I discuss:

• Growing up in small town America and being drawn to the bright lights of New York City.
• Working in close proximity with people like @beyonce @jlo and @diddy on their fashion labels and what she learned from the experience.
• Why no one wants to be ‘yes’d’ to death.
• How being endlessly curious has been nothing but helpful in life and her career.
• How working for @diddy made her find her drive.
• How the meaning of ‘success’ has changed for her over the years.
• How the current political situation in the US has been like ‘windex’ allowing us to see ‘clearly’.
• How failure is an essential part of any journey and makes success all that much sweeter, and much more…
