Ep. 90 Life Update: My Kids, My Late Nights & the Balance I'm Still Figuring Out

This week, I found myself reflecting on the woman I used to be and the woman I'm still becoming.After looking back through photos from the last year and a half, I realized I've slowly let go of some of the habits that help me feel my best. As life gets busier with work, motherhood, friendships, and relationships, I've been asking myself an important question: how do we create space for everything that matters without losing ourselves in the process?In this episode, I share a personal life update and open up about balancing entrepreneurship, parenting, self-care, and the constant challenge of protecting my time and energy. I also reflect on the journey from 18-year-old Heidi, who struggled with self-worth, people-pleasing, and an eating disorder, to the woman I am today.We talk about healing, self-love, creating safe relationships with our children, and one question that completely stopped me in my tracks, what superpower do you have today that was born from trauma?In this episode, we discuss:Reconnecting with yourself during busy seasonsWhy healthy habits matter more than motivationWhat I would tell my 18-year-old selfHealing from shame, self-hatred, and people-pleasingLearning to create safety and trust with your childrenLetting go of control as your kids grow upWhy you either win or you learnFinding the gifts hidden inside difficult experiencesIf you've ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or wondered if healing is really possible, I hope this conversation reminds you that it gets better.
