In this episode, which is part 2 of the conversation I had with my best friend Keira a few months ago, I share my personal journey through the maze of relationships, highlighting the power of self-awareness and the need for strong, balanced partnerships akin to two pillars supporting a bridge.  I also open up about my struggles with anxious and avoidant attachment styles and how they've shaped my interactions in love and relationships. The heart of our discussion lies in the transformative process of emotional “rewiring,” where I delve into the importance of breaking free from destructive patterns, learning to love yourself, and the quest for a partner who truly resonates with your energy and values your uniqueness.

Starting over can be tough, right? It often comes after something didn't work out or someone moved on and that's hard.  But here's the thing: It's also a chance to reset.  Today, my best friend, Keira, and I talk in depth about this. Throughout my life, I feel like I’ve experienced it all…Divorce, death, failed business ventures, you name it, I’ve most likely experienced it. But what has taken me years to understand was the other side of starting over. It's about taking that tough spot you're in and turning it into a fresh start. Sure, it's scary and challenging, but it's also full of crazy possibilities.  You're not just starting from scratch; you're using everything you've learned and you’re starting again. It's about growth, learning, and moving forward.  So, give it a listen. It might just change how you see starting over with a fresh perspective. Here are the key moments from the episode: 5:20 The power of setting boundaries 9:45 Why you need to stop dimming your light for others 14:30 Your energy is your gift 29:40 Starting over is your greatest experience 33:45 Becoming your highest self 40:00 Best life advice tip you’ve ever heard 48:00 Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard 52:30 Starting over is hard but rewarding #startingover #selfdiscovery #selfimprovement #selfawareness #grief #divorce #mindset #openmind #failedbusinesses #business #heidipowell Connect with Heidi!

In this deeply personal episode, I talk about my journey through motherhood. I confront the shadows of self-judgment and comparison that haunt so many of us moms.  The constant battle against the nagging feeling that I'm not doing enough, the relentless comparisons with other moms who seem to have it all together—it's a cycle that's as exhausting as it is unending.  And then, there's the overthinking, the fear that maybe I'm not a good enough parent.  But here's the truth I've learned: Embracing my imperfections and letting go of these self-imposed limitations is key.  It's not about being the perfect mom; it's about being the best mom I can be for my kids at any given time.  And in this video, I share how I'm learning to do just that. Here are the key moments from the episode: 2:00 The struggles of motherhood 4:30 Questioning my worthiness as a mom 8:30 Motherhood is the ultimate creation 15:30 Why motherhood is meant to be messy 20:30 My regrets as a mom 29:30 Why you need to release the mom guilt to be a better parent 33:15 Finding those little pockets of joy in motherhood 43:00 The overthinking cycle all moms go through 49:40 Tips for moms when the kids are leaving the nest 54:00 An exercise to do with your kids every single day 58:00 Stop judging yourself based on the “Instagram moms” 1:05:45 My advice for all moms out there Join me on my couch as Keira and I discuss the messiness of motherhood and how in order to be the best mom you can be, you need to be exactly who you are and be ok with it. #motherhood #mother #mom #goodmom #singlemom #parent #parenting #goodparenting #singlemomtips #parenttips Connect with Heidi!

In this episode, I share why I nearly hit the pause button on this podcast—driven by the dual forces of online bullying and the internal battles waging in my own mind. It's a raw and real journey through the shadows of our fears, my struggle against the relentless onslaught of bullying, the self-doubt that haunts us, and the feeling of “stuckness” by being trapped in our own thoughts. Just as I was ready to abandon my calling from God to do this show, a dear friend's candid reminder turned the tide. She reminded me that it's not about having all the answers or doing things perfectly. It's about being real, sharing the unvarnished truth of our experiences, and simply being ourselves. Here are the key moments from the episode: 6:30 How my insecurities lead me down a dark path 11:45 Why I almost quit the podcast 23:30 How podcasting has given me permission to be me 28:30 My first real experience of online bullying & how I responded 38:40 Discovering the purpose of life  47:20 My Human Design reminded me of who I am Join me on my couch as I call on everyone listening to embrace vulnerability and refuse to let negative self-talk obstruct your path to embracing the divine within you.

In this deeply personal and uplifting episode, join me and my longtime friend, Keira Brinton, as I navigate the tender realms of the heart. My journey of love took a dramatic pause earlier this year with the passing of my best friend, a chapter that closed with heartache but also opened doors to uncharted territories of self-love and acceptance. As the days turned into months, the silence in his absence became a canvas for reflection, leading me to the most unexpected yet beautiful realization: It’s time to date again. But not in the way you might think. Today, I’m sharing my journey of dating myself, rediscovering the joy in my own company, and learning to love the woman I've become through the triumphs and tribulations.

In today’s episode, I'm baring my soul, pulling back the curtain on the questions YOU have been yearning to ask. Every day, from the messages of friends, family, and followers, I feel your curiosity, your concerns, and your care. Today, I’m answering some of the questions that have resonated most with me and giving you the unfiltered truths behind them. You’ve asked about the intensity of creation, the weight of consistent creativity. You’ve messaged about my transformative experience at a “no cell phone” retreat. Many of you have sought insights on navigating the tides of change and aging as a mother. But there's one question, echoing louder and more persistent than the rest: How have I been holding up since the heart-wrenching loss of Dave earlier this year? Addressing this feels like reopening a wound that's trying to heal, but I recognize the genuine care in your voices.

Supported by my longtime friend, Keira, I reflect on my transformation that's been both my toughest trial and my greatest revelation: Finding my true home within myself. 2022 was a year that didn't just knock on my door, but it knocked me down. From grappling with loss and questioning my life's foundations to embracing a profound spiritual awakening, I've been through a whirlwind of self-discovery. During the chaos, a clear voice emerged—one that's been drowned out for years by the noise of life's expectations, roles, and external validations.

And in openness, we allow healing—not just for ourselves, but for each other. With love, Heidi 💖 🎙️ Connect with Heidi!
