Fresh and easy to apply

Heidi’s weekly episodes are a highlight of the week because she offers such a fresh and actionable episode each week. As someone who’s lived with overwhelm for a decade and a half, these regular reminders are invaluable. Heidi herself is also lovely to listen to, and as anyone who is a podcast addict like me knows, the host makes all the difference!

Thank you

Heidi,

Thanks to listening to just 16 episodes now (I started at the very beginning and am making my way through), I found the courage to tell my students and colleagues that I need to take a break from my work as a flamenco dancer and teacher to let my body heal fully from overuse injuries. I was so scared to do this, to disappoint and let others down. But your words resonated so much with me, and through them I found the clarity I needed. While I can’t stop all my work, I pulled way back and am slowing way down to allow my body to heal. Your teachings are so spot on and I’ve recommended your podcast to family and friends. Thank you truly.
