Heidi Anderson built her career in the spotlight – radio, reality TV, bestselling book, bold PR brand.

But the version of her you saw? It wasn’t the full story.

In this episode of Diary Of The Search Queen, we talk about what it really took to pull off the mask. From navigating anxiety on air to finding a new rhythm as a mum and a business owner – Heidi’s journey is one of truth, power, and real personal branding.

We dive into:

• Heidi’s journey from radio and reality TV to running a PR business that’s built on purpose
• The anxiety she hid at the height of her media career – and the moment she decided to go public
• The ripple effect of showing up vulnerably (and how that changed everything)

• Why authenticity is the strategy when it comes to PR and personal branding

Here’s to dropping the mask and turning your real story into your power

I didn’t just move to Australia. I rebuilt my entire life from the ground up.

In this episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I’m taking you back to the moment I packed up my life in Ireland and flew to Australia – no job, no backup plan, just a gut feeling and a suitcase full of hope.

What started as a one-way ticket became the turning point for the life, business, and family I have today. But the journey? It wasn’t easy. It tested my resilience, forced me to grow fast, and cracked me open in ways I never expected.

This move didn’t just change my postcode, it reshaped my identity, my values, and the way I show up in the world.

In this episode, I reflect on:

• Why I knew (even at 16) that Ireland wasn’t where I was meant to grow
• The sacrifices I made to stay in Australia – and why I’d do it all again
• What it’s like to find home in a completely new country
• How building a life here helped me become the leader, mother + woman I am today

Whether you’ve made a big move yourself or you’re standing at your own kind of crossroads – this one’s for you.

Here’s to backing yourself even when it means starting over

What if the hardest thing you’ve ever been through… was also the thing that shaped your strength the most?

In this episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered truth behind my fertility journey and how it cracked me open in ways I never expected. This isn’t just a story about becoming a mum – it’s a story about becoming me.

Because when the path to motherhood didn’t go to plan, I was forced to do the deep work:

• To unpack the childhood wounds I’d buried
• To reclaim the parts of myself I’d long abandoned
• To stop waiting for “one day” and start living from wholeness now

This episode is for anyone who’s walked through the fire – and came out on the other side stronger, softer, and more self-aware than ever before.

In this episode, I reflect on:

• The mindset shifts that changed my fertility journey and my life
• The link between self-worth, scarcity, and why we repel what we desire
• How healing generational trauma helped me step into the mother (and woman) I am today
• Why business success and personal growth are always intertwined

Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey, building a business, going through grief, or figuring out how to take radical responsibility for your story – this episode will meet you right where you are.
