A Season of Me: Living Life on Your Terms

On this Good Friday episode of A Season of Me, Coach Heidi sits down with Pastor Rachel for a thoughtful and honest conversation about faith, protest, and what it really means to follow Jesus.

From reexamining Palm Sunday as a moment of disruption, to Rachel’s personal experience being arrested while standing for her beliefs, this episode invites us to consider the stories we’ve been told—and the roles we assume within them.

Because sometimes the most important question isn’t what we believe…

but how we live it.

If you live in North Carolina right now, you know the pain, everything is covered in pollen. It’s messy, inconvenient, and impossible to ignore. But what if that’s just what growth looks like?In this episode, Coach Heidi uses the season of pollen as a powerful metaphor for the moments in life that feel overwhelming and out of control. Because before anything blooms or bears fruit, there’s a stage where everything feels stirred up and messy.If your life feels like “too much” right now, this conversation is a reminder: it might not be chaos, it might be growth.

What the first day of spring teaches us about growth, timing, and trusting your season.

The first daffodils of spring remind us of something powerful: long before the flower appears, the real work has been happening underground.

In this episode, Coach Heidi reflects on the energy of the first day of spring and what nature teaches us about timing, growth, and beginning before everything feels perfect. Because spring isn’t the harvest—it’s the season of planting, experimenting, and preparing for the fruit that will come later.

If something new is stirring in your l...

I recently celebrated my 600th workout at my gym — but the workouts between 500 and 600 meant the most. Why? Because life had gotten complicated, and the habit I built in a previous season carried me through.

In this episode, I share how choosing myself for a season helped embed a non-negotiable habit into my identity, the story of hiking Potato Chip Rock with my daughter, and the mindset shift that changed how I see myself.

When you prioritize yourself for a season, you build habits that sustain you for years.

After a year of consistent podcasting, I decided it was time to make things better — more polished, more strategic, more impactful for my business.

But somewhere between expert advice, new tech, and endless optimization… I stopped.

In this episode, I share the honest story behind my two-year gap and how chasing improvement quietly killed my momentum. We’ll unpack the perfectionism and overthinking that so many high-achieving women fall into, and how you can avoid the same trap.

If you’ve ever stopped something that was working because you wanted to “do it better,” this convers...

What if your exhaustion isn’t a personal failure — but a rhythm mismatch?

In this episode, Coach Heidi explores how the Roman calendar shaped our productivity-driven culture and contrasts it with the cyclical wisdom of the Christian liturgical year and the Chinese New Year. From Advent to the Year of the Horse — and even the surprising history of Friday the 13th — this conversation invites you to reclaim your own season.

Maybe it’s time to stop living by “should” — and start living by alignment.
