    Eps 10: The Leap From Corporate to Founder with Fliss from Wild Thingz

    24/07/2026 | 42 mins.
    What does it really take to walk away from the security of a corporate career and build something of your own?
    In this episode of Heidi at Home, I'm joined by the founder of Wild Thingz to talk about the leap so many people dream about - but few actually make.
    We explore what it means to take a risk on yourself, build a business from the ground up, and create a brand that people genuinely remember. Along the way, we also talk honestly about the realities of juggling life with entrepreneurship, making difficult decisions, and finding a way to grow a business without losing sight of what matters most.
    In this episode, we discuss:
    The decision to leave the corporate world and become founders.
    Taking calculated risks and trusting your instincts.
    What it takes to build a memorable brand in a crowded market.
    The realities of being women in business.
    Balancing ambition with family life.
    The lessons learnt along the way
    Whether you're dreaming of starting a business, already running one alongside family life, or simply curious about the stories behind successful brands, this is an honest conversation about courage, resilience and building something you're proud of.
    Wild Thingz have a brand new flavour of sweets out NOW
    If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you followed Heidi at Home, left a review, or shared it with someone who's thinking about taking that next step in their own career or business.

    Helping Your Child to Listen

    23/10/2025 | 13 mins.
    In this podcast episode, Heidi tackles the HUGE topic of listening, or rather lack of. 
    So many parents struggle with how to get their child(ren) to listen more. If this is you, you are not alone! It can feel exhausting when you have to ask a child to do something ten times, then end up shouting. It happens to us all, but here Heidi shares her very best tips on how to encourage your child to listen without needing to resort to threats or consequences.

    Helping Busy Mum's to Support their Health with Alice Mackintosh

    07/08/2025 | 42 mins.
    In this episode Heidi is joined by the wonderful Alice Mackintosh, a registered nutritional therapist and co-founder of Equi London. 
    It is no secret to anyone who follows her, that Heidi has struggled to look after herself since baby number three arriving now nearly two and a half years ago. We know that being in the early throws of motherhood can mean that often, our needs are put to the bottom of the pile.
    In this episode, Alice gives us some really solid and sound ideas for keeping on top of our own health, including topics such as: 
    Iron postpatrum
    Having regular blood tests
    Whether electrolytes are useful 
    Eating a Mediterranean diet 
    Perimenopause 
    This episode is a brilliant way of reducing the overwhelm surrounding health and well being right now and getting to the basics of what exactly we need to do as parents, to look after ourselves.
