Show Notes: How did you feel the last time someone publicly acknowledged you? In my latest chat with Jordan Montgomery, the amazing speaker and author of 'The Art of Encouragement,' we dove into the power of REAL, genuine encouragement. Jordan showed how celebrating people for who they are, not just what they do, can create meaningful connections that impact our personal and professional lives. In a world craving authenticity, encouragement needs a story! It’s about VALUING people for their character and lifting them up with specific examples. So, embrace the art of encouragement, step boldly into your journey, and become a living, breathing commercial for others.If You Liked This Episode You Might Also Like These Episodes:#409: Why Fear Is a Greenlight That Says GO: Day 1 In Saudi Arabia With Heather!#359: UNLOCK Your Wealth & Own Your Worth with Lisa Wang, U.S National Champion Gymnast & CEO of Bad Bitch Empire#360: The Simple Hack To Boost Your Confidence & Productivity With Heather!

Show Notes: When is the last time you let your FREAK FLAG fly? I’ve been reflecting on this amazing message from Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. at VOUS Church about the power of miracles and faith. Seriously, it hit me hard. One big takeaway for me is the importance of being AUTHENTIC. When we show up as our true selves, we give ourselves permission to shine and inspire others to do the same. When we EMBRACE our uniqueness, stand out, and proudly wave our freak flag, we attract the right people and opportunities that truly resonate with us. Tune out the naysayers and negative voices. Just because someone's in your circle does NOT mean they are in your corner. Together, we can inspire and empower each other to embrace our uniqueness and create a brighter, more authentic future!

Believe in yourself and the value you bring to the table. I'm working on this too, and it's a journey we can share. Success isn’t just a destination—it’s a journey built on bouncing back, being prepared, and having the guts to face uncertainty head-on.
