Powerhouse Women

Ready to stop chasing validation and start choosing yourself? You're in the right place! This week, I sit down with Heidi Powell, momtrepreneur, fitness trainer, and host of the Heidi's Lane podcast. Heidi is living proof that there is unlimited happiness on the other side of pain. We get vulnerable as we talk about what it takes to unburden yourself from shame, judgment, and fear, how to rebuild your relationship with yourself, and how to make self-honoring choices to become your next level version. Let this conversation serve as a reminder of not only what waits for us on the other side of committing to the healing journey, but of honoring who we have to become and what we need to shed in order to get there.
