What if your greatest heartbreak became the doorway to your most vibrant life?

In this powerful episode of Be S.H.E. Podcast, Heidi sits down with Vickie Aigner…..72-year-old wellness expert, founder of Alive Fit & Free, and a woman whose story is equal parts resilience and transformation. After the devastating loss of her husband while raising six children, Vickie found herself forced to rebuild not just her life, but her identity.

Through grief, healing, and deep inner work, she discovered something many women overlook: true wellness doesn’t start with what we do on the outside, it begins within.

Together, Heidi and Vickie dive into:

• The hidden weight of unprocessed grief
• Why “pushing through” can delay true healing
• The connection between emotional health and physical vitality
• And how women, especially in later seasons of life, can step into strength, purpose, and joy again

This conversation is an invitation to stop running, start healing, and say yes to your next vibrant chapter, no matter your age or story.
