If you’ve been avoiding uncomfortable conversations because you’re afraid of rocking the boat, this episode is a gentle kick in the butt to stop leaking your energy and start speaking up.

Heather is pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest energy leaks she sees in the lives of high-achieving women: avoiding uncomfortable conversations.

In this episode, Heather walks you through how she handles tough talks with her husband, kids, and team—without spiraling into conflict, guilt, or emotional shutdown.

Listen in as Heather shares:

• Why avoiding conflict drains your energy (and the shift you'll see as soon as you begin to embrace discomfort)
• The exact script Heather uses to start hard conversations with calm and clarity

• The Resentment List exercise that shows you exactly where your energy is leaking

You don’t need to fear hard conversations. Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re doors to deeper connection, clarity, and freedom.

Motherhood comes with a rulebook we never agreed to—a list of "shoulds" that tell us how to parent, sacrifice, and ignore our own needs. It's time to break the rules.

In this episode, Heather sits down with Zoe Blaskey, founder of Motherkind, to challenge the outdated expectations that leave mothers stuck in guilt, burnout, and self-sacrifice.

If you've ever felt like you’re losing yourself in motherhood or struggling to balance who you are with who the world expects you to be, this conversation is for you.

Listen up as Heather and Zoe dive into:

• What the "should" scam is—and why it keeps moms stuck in guilt & exhaustion
• The real reason self-care feels like another to-do list (and what to do instead)
• How to set boundaries without guilt—even when it feels uncomfortable
• Why emotional intelligence and self-compassion change the way you parent

Start reclaiming your version of motherhood. Rewrite the motherhood rulebook on your own terms—without the guilt.

Zoe Blaskey is the founder of Motherkind, a transformational coach, and author of the Sunday Times bestseller Motherkind: A New Way to Thrive in a World of Endless Expectations.
