Review
I Used to Be Deathly Afraid to Speak to a Group.
"I went to one of Heather's Build Your Public Speaking Toolbox workshops. I learned more from her in one hour than I ever expected. I learned practical truths about public speaking that has been a game changer. I learned tips on how to manage my anxiety. More than that I decided I would never again allow my fear of speaking to keep me from sharing and advocating for myself and my clients. You can tell that Heather has a true passion for teaching communication skills and she is beyond professional, movtivating and personable. I highly recommend!" - Thom (Building Your Public Speaking Toolbox attendee)

Stepfamily and Co-Parenting Resources
In 2009, Heather started a small blog that exploded into an international platform to support those in a stepfamily. Uncover the truths about life in a stepfamilly. Discover the complexities you navigate are not about you personally but the role you play and their inherant dynamics.
Truth: A stepfamily is built on loss. A divorce, death or unpartnering must first occur before a remarriage with children. Where there is loss there is grieving and often the adults may be healed but the children are navigating grief.
Truth: The role you play in your stepfamily impacts the lens at which you view the children. Yes, you want to learn more about this one!
Truth: Uncover what in your stepfamily life is out of sync with your core values and how to set and enforce boundaries around them.
Affording Your College Dream without Loans
Heather has walked five of her six children through this process plus other in addition to countless clients (parents/students). There is a way to graduate debt free or close to it from the college of your dreams even when you don't qualify for FAFSA.
Truth: Private universities can be ultimately cheaper than state instituations because of the grant and scholarship endowments.
Truth: Your student does NOT have to have a 4.0 GPA or a 30 + ACT to earn scholarships and grants.
Truth: You can negotiate with the university your child wishes to attend.

enlightenHer & Money Mentorship
In 2017, Heather began volunteering to talk to women navigating divorce from an emotional well-being perspective as part of Second Saturdays with enlightenHer. She believes so passionately about this organization and how they serve women, she became a money mentor and serves women to help them gain a healthy relationship with money.
Truth: We ALL have a money story. That's our relationship money and it's related to the money scripts we learned as a child and they impact how we handle money as adults.
Truth: Wealth is freedom and your wealth is not determined by how much money you have in the bank but rather how you manage the money you do have.
Truth: Many women believe the lie that they aren't going to understand "money" or that they don't need to. False.
