Ep 11: When Success No Longer Fits: Listening to Your Body's Wisdom with Heather MacMillan

What happens when the life you've built no longer feels aligned?In this heartfelt conversation, Lindsay and Scott sit down with Heather McMillan—a mom, partner, homesteader, former sourdough baker, Fascia Alchemy–trained bodyworker, certified Human Design reader, and the creator of Rooted Fascia Human Design. Heather lives on a small farm in Eastern Ontario with her husband, son, cattle, chickens, and a thriving garden. For more than 15 years, caring for the land, raising animals, and living in rhythm with the seasons has quietly shaped the way she approaches healing, embodiment, and life itself.Heather shares her winding journey from studying human kinetics to cooking, farming, rafting, and building a thriving home-based sourdough bread business that she ran for more than 12 years. While the business was successful, her body was telling a different story. Through chronic pain, motherhood, birth trauma, and a deep desire to live in greater alignment, Heather found herself returning to the body—and ultimately discovering the transformative power of fascia work.Today, Heather helps women reconnect with themselves through body-based fascia release, both in private sessions and through self-bodywork education. She also blends guided fascia release with Human Design, helping women move beyond simply understanding their chart and begin truly embodying the wisdom of their unique design.Together, Lindsay, Scott, and Heather explore the connection between our bodies and the land, healing after birth trauma, repetitive movement patterns, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to let go of something good in order to make space for something even more aligned.Whether you're navigating a career pivot, recovering from birth trauma or burnout, or simply longing to feel more at home in your body, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that every chapter of your journey has prepared you for the next.In This Episode:Heather's journey from sourdough baker to fascia practitionerHow she blends Human Design with fascia work to support deeper embodimentHealing after birth trauma and reconnecting with the bodyHow repetitive movement patterns shape our physical well-beingThe wisdom of listening when your body asks you to changeEntrepreneurship, homesteading, and finding purpose through life's pivotsWhy no life experience is ever wastedConnect with Heather:Instagram: www.instagram.com/heather.c.macmillanSubstack: heathermacmillan.substack.comStan Store: https://stan.store/RootedMFRConnect with Lindsay & Scott: To learn more about our retreats: www.homesteadandheal.netFollow Homestead & Heal:  https://www.instagram.com/homestead.andheal/ Connected with Lindsay: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaycourcelle/Connect with Scott: https://www.instagram.com/alchemygardens/If you loved this episode - it would mean so much to leave us a review!
