​Heidi’s Lane with Heidi Powell

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. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Here are the key moments from the episode: 6:00 My experience with an erotic dancing class 13:30 Discovering what my true superpower for others is 20:00 My open and honest new relationship 40:20 The one person that completely flipped how I saw myself 45:00 There’s a time to teach and a time to learn 51:45 The conversation that will heal all women 1:10:00 The 7 date challenge that’ll change your life Join me on my couch as I navigate the realms of self-dating, transforming loss into a catalyst for rediscovery, and proving that the most profound love stories are the ones we write with ourselves. #loss #grief #dating #lovelife #mentalhealth #mindset #transformation #love #loveyourself Connect with Heidi!

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. Here are the key moments from the episode: 7:30 The pressure of creation 14:00 A book that EVERYONE needs to read 17:45 How am I after Dave’s passing? 33:30 Finding my way back to creation 41:05 My experience at a “no cell phone” retreat 56:30 The question that changed my life as a mom 1:03:00 What moms need to understand about getting older Join me on my couch as I invite you in, closer than ever, sharing the raw journey of my grief, my healing, and where my heart finds itself now.

In this episode, I'm opening the doors to my inner sanctum, welcoming you right into the living room of my heart and spirit. 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. Here’s a few key moments from the episode: 4:45 In the wildest year of my life, I found myself crumbling before God 11:45 The darkest most chaotic year of my existence 23:40 Making peace with self-acceptance 28:30 A 10-year vision transformed how I see my entire life 40:00 The indescribable week I died 47:00 The moment a shift started happening 51:30 The birth of Heidi Lane from the ashes of my turmoil 1:01:30 The new me gave me a new life 1:07:50 My most beautiful version of me is my truest version of me Join me on my couch and be part of this conversation because in sharing, we find strength. And in openness, we allow healing—not just for ourselves, but for each other. With love, Heidi 💖 🎙️ Connect with Heidi!
