Great podcast! Great host!

I love the stories and interviews that Heather shares on this podcast. We are not meant to stay exactly the same as we were in our 20s, 30s, 40s…I think that is rare especially in these times. Some of us are perpetual dreamers, action-takers, multi-passionate. If you’ve been thinking about making a pivot in your life, you must tune in! You’ll get a lot out of this podcast. Keep up the great work Heather!!

Creative Pivot Podcasts

All of the podcasts by the creative pivot are filled with great conversations that drive enjoyment. They make you laugh, cry and really think hard about where you are and what you are doing. I have been on both sides of the podcasts with Heather and have truly enjoyed it. Take a listen and you will be left with only wanting more. 💗

Variety is the spice of life

I love the range of guests that Heather has on her podcast. It is fascinating to be able to learn from so many different people and their passions, professions, and experiences. Life has handed so many of us the need to pivot over the last couple years and this is a great place to learn what that looks like for others.
