Hosted by Heather Chauvin | Insights inspired by Mel Robbins

All external pressure is off ladies! It’s time to listen to the inner pull. Mastering the art of knowing when to slow down and breathe vs. when to take action. It's time we value our desires. See your value. Own it. Communicate it. It’s time to become wildly #emotionallyuncomfortable
This podcast will crack you open and force you to grow. Interviews and storytelling about business, emotional intelligence, creativity, love, being different, parenting, and more...

Emotionally Uncomfortable

The older your kids get, the more they need you. Not for rides to soccer practice or packed lunches, but for leadership, boundaries, and emotional presence.
 
In this life update, Heather pulls back the curtain on a summer filled with big transitions, personal growth, and hard choices. From her oldest son moving across the country on short notice, to restructuring her business and team, to dialing in her health with more intentional energy management, she’s sharing what’s working, what’s not, and the uncomfortable truths she’s had to face to stay in alignment.
 
Listen in as Heather breaks down:
 
🩶Why “it gets easier” in parenting is only true if you get better at leading yourself
 
🩶How she’s handling the emotional reality of launching her oldest into adulthood
 
🩶The patterns she’s breaking in business and leadership to protect her vision
 
🩶The physical and mental shifts she’s making to prevent burnout and sustain momentum
 
If you’ve been feeling stagnant, overextended, or stuck in “busy but not better,” this episode is your invitation to look in the mirror, face what you’ve been avoiding, and make one bold change in the next 90 days.

What if success doesn’t have to cost you everything?
 
In this weeks episode, Heather sits down with author and entrepreneur Alyson Caffrey to talk about the unseen emotional labor of being "the strong one."

In this episode, they discuss:
 
🩶 The hidden cost of tying your self-worth to productivity

1219: I Didn’t Need More Strategy, I Needed More Capacity with Jessica Marx

What if the resistance you feel to receiving support isn't about money—but about the stories you've been carrying that aren't even yours?
 
In this raw, unfiltered solo episode recorded while walking the streets of Kelowna, BC on Father's Day, Heather gets radically honest about her journey with receiving support, hiring help, and dismantling what it means to be a "strong, independent woman."
 
Listen in as she shares:
 
🩶 Why she finally hired a meal prep/house manager and the internal resistance she faced every step of the way
 
🩶 How buying back time and energy is never really about the money—it's about what you prioritize
 
🩶 Why we afford what we prioritize, even when we tell ourselves we can't
 
If you've ever caught yourself saying "I don't need help" while secretly praying someone would just show up and support you, this episode will hit deep. Heather reminds us that receiving support isn't about privilege—it's about what you do with that capacity that matters.
 
This is how we change the world, ladies.
