Summary
"When you start to feed your soul, that's like the invisible medicine that you didn't even know you needed."
The version of your life where things feel cleaner, clearer, and more aligned isn't on the other side of doing more, fixing yourself, or finally getting everything "right." It's on the other side of raising your standard for how you're willing to feel and choosing, moment by moment, to come home to yourself. In this life update, Heather shares what it actually looks like to live from that place in the way you build your systems, lead your team, invest your time and energy, and make decisions rooted in intuition instead of fear. This is a conversation about personal responsibility without self-punishment and feeding your soul instead of abandoning it. Because the truth is, feeling good comes when you decide you're no longer available to live without it.
What to listen for:
☑️ Systems, processes, and having the right support by training an aligned team
☑️ Asking what your soul is craving and choosing to make those things happen
☑️ Checking in and prioritizing your standards for how you want to feel
"It's really important for you to understand that feeling good is your birthright. The only thing stopping you from raising your vibration or being on the other side of fear, guilt, and overwhelm is raising your standard for how you feel."
☑️ Why we develop the belief that feeling like shit is what we're worthy of
☑️ If you're not choosing to be proactive, you'll start living reactively by default
☑️ Learning to think outside the box and gain different perspectives for growth
"It's your responsibility to own your intuition, to deeply listen to that voice inside of you, and to lead and make decisions from that place. You have to return home to yourself when you're making decisions."
☑️ Supporting our bodies so that we can thrive inside of them for as long as possible
☑️ Where are you investing your time, your energy, and your financial resources?
☑️ The power of investing in things without the belief that it's going to fix you
"Your soul is asking to be fed, and if you don't know how to read the language of your soul, you'll feel lost. You're constantly being guided to return home to yourself. You're constantly being guided to sit with the duality of fear, but also sit with the desire for what your soul craves."
☑️ Unlocking the next level of receiving by no longer getting ready to get ready
☑️ Why athletes are like buffalo and what we can learn from their way of being
☑️ In order to become, you have to be willing to head into the storm

| 0:00.0 | I'm in a season of forcing myself. And I've really been leaning into this with my clients, too, |
| 0:07.3 | forcing myself to do what's required, to get the result that I desire. And when you do that, |
| 0:15.2 | the clouds part. The shit that you want starts to come to you. The universe is like she's ready. She can hold it. And when you can hold it, you also need to be willing to hold the opposite. The duality of both. But in the middle of that, your soul is whispering. Your soul is asking to be fed, and if you don't know how to read the |
| 0:38.9 | language of your soul, you will feel lost. You are constantly being guided to return home to |
| 0:46.6 | yourself. You are constantly being guided to sit with the duality of fear, but also sit with the desire of what your soul craves. |
| 1:08.1 | If you can see me, if you're watching this on YouTube, you may notice that I am recording this from my vehicle. |
| 1:17.9 | We are on day two of our move. |
| 1:20.8 | Today's going to be a life update. |
| 1:23.1 | I was going to be philosophical and, you know, wise me today. |
| 1:27.3 | And I thought, you know what, it's been |
| 1:29.3 | a while since a life update updating you on Mexico and, you know, the move and all the things, |
| 1:37.5 | which are such privileged problems to have. But I also want to update you on parenting health, all the things. So we're going to see what |
| 1:48.2 | comes out of my mouth. So welcome, welcome. I'm sitting in my car in the driveway of our new home |
| 1:56.4 | that we moved in to less than 24 hours ago. |
| 2:07.4 | And thanks to systems, processes, and having the right team support and training your team in alignment with who you need them to be for you, |
| 2:12.9 | I was held accountable that this episode needed to get recorded so that it can go to production |
| 2:20.2 | and then the podcast people can podcast people, the production team can make sure that it's out on time. |
| 2:29.3 | And I think that's a beautiful example of systems, processes, leadership, but breaking these |
| 2:38.8 | cycles and patterns of being proactive instead of reactive all the time. Like, I am incredibly |
| 2:48.1 | emotionally uncomfortable. I have so much resistance. I tried to do this in my new |
| 2:53.8 | office, but I don't have enough furniture in it yet. So it was very echoey. There's painters in the house. |
| 3:00.7 | My mom is here. Absolute chaos. And I thought, Heather, what is required of you to get shit done? The other thing that I |
