• 1218: Life Update: The Emotional Cost of Receiving Support (and Why I’m Still Doing It Anyway)
    Jun 25 2025

    What if the resistance you feel to receiving support isn't about money—but about the stories you've been carrying that aren't even yours?

    In this raw, unfiltered solo episode recorded while walking the streets of Kelowna, BC on Father's Day, Heather gets radically honest about her journey with receiving support, hiring help, and dismantling what it means to be a "strong, independent woman."

    Listen in as she shares:

    🩶 Why she finally hired a meal prep/house manager and the internal resistance she faced every step of the way

    🩶 How buying back time and energy is never really about the money—it's about what you prioritize

    🩶 Why we afford what we prioritize, even when we tell ourselves we can't

    If you've ever caught yourself saying "I don't need help" while secretly praying someone would just show up and support you, this episode will hit deep. Heather reminds us that receiving support isn't about privilege—it's about what you do with that capacity that matters.

    This is how we change the world, ladies.

    In this episode, Heather talks with Sharla Aaronson mother, Biologic Dentist in Fort Collins, Colorado (https://www.alive-dental.com) about how her daughter’s hearing loss diagnosis changed her forever and what it really looks like to return to yourself in the middle of success, motherhood, and burnout.
