Hey, I’m Heather. Living Your Awesome Life is my brain child, though it is certainly not just mine. Here’s the real deal, my life was (and often still is) a HOT MESS (and really more mess than hot) but I didn’t know. I thought that working 80 hours a week, sleeping 3 hours a night, crying every day, barely speaking to my husband and eating my feelings was just the norm for a mamma with two under two. And though it may be the current “norm” it wasn’t working for me. Anxiety + depression took over my life and I had to seek help. I started down a path to change and then *wham* I got hit by a truck. Well it was actually a civic, and life as I knew it, even though I didn’t love it, was swept away. Yup, this girl who operated in a life mantra of the more you check off a list the more success that you have, could not even actually SEE or WRITE the list let alone COMPLETE things on it. So as you can imagine things spiraled downward FAST. The long version of the story can be found  here but the coles notes are : I found positive pschiatry, life coaching and ACT, and realized that this proactive approach to mental health needed to be more accessible. I rebuilt my life focusing on what mattered MOST and learned so much. I noticed SO MANY women in my life needed this same information (without having to go through a concussion or other life altering experience) Thus the first Awesome Life Retreat was born, along with this passion for helping women find the life they are excited to live!
