As we close out 2025, this episode is a pause and a reflection. I’m sharing an honest conversation about healing, letting go, forgiveness, family, gratitude, and grief. On the 27th, it marks one year since my dad passed, and I talk about finding comfort in love, loss, and the belief that those we love never truly leave us. This episode also includes gentle journal prompts to help you find peace right where you are. Thank you for listening and for being part of this journey — there is always a message in the mess.

In today’s episode of The Message in the Mess, we’re having an honest, soul-level conversation about the people we allow into our lives — and the power we have to choose differently.

In a world that can feel loud, chaotic, and emotionally draining, it’s easy to believe we have to tolerate toxic relationships simply because they’ve always been there. But the truth is this: in a toxic world, you don’t have to choose toxic people.

Together, we explore what it means to build a tribe that reflects who you are becoming, not who you once were. We talk about recognizing one-sided friendships, releasing relationships that no longer serve your growth, and giving yourself permission to let connections fade without guilt or drama.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt exhausted by friendships that drain their peace, confused by loyalty that costs too much, or afraid to choose themselves out of fear of being alone. Through reflection, compassion, and a little humor, we discuss how healthy relationships feel like home — safe, reciprocal, supportive, and grounding.

If you’re in a season of growth, healing, or boundary-setting, this episode will remind you that protecting your energy isn’t selfish — it’s necessary. You deserve people who bring light to your table, not chaos.

✨ Grab a drink, get comfortable, and give yourself permission to choose peace, growth, and the right people. This conversation may be the reminder your heart didn’t know it needed.

In this episode of The Message in the Mess, Heather gets raw, real, and a little hilarious about what it truly looks like to try and lose weight in your 50s. Spoiler: it’s not like your 20s… or your 30s… or honestly anything your metabolism ever tried to prepare you for.

Heather opens up about walking back into the gym after years away — how the hardest part wasn’t the workout, but the courage it took to walk through the door. She talks about battling hormones, a slower metabolism, cravings that negotiate like seasoned lawyers, and the universal “Where did that come from?” moment in front of the mirror.

But this episode isn’t about chasing “skinny.”
It’s about chasing healthy.
It’s about choosing YOU… even when it’s hard.
Even when giving up feels easier.
Even when the scale seems to be gaslighting you.

Heather shares why you don’t have to give up ice cream, the occasional cocktail, or the soul-comforting macaroni and cheese. Instead, she talks about finding balance — real balance — not punishment disguised as discipline.

With compassion, humor, and honesty, she reminds listeners that starting again in your 50s is not a failure. It’s courage. It’s strength. It’s a love letter to your future self.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, defeated, or like your body suddenly switched to “low power mode,” this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and inspired to keep going — one brave step at a time.

The holidays aren’t joyful for everyone — and that truth deserves to be spoken out loud. In this heartfelt episode, Heather opens up about what it means to “hold space” during a season that can feel heavy, complicated, or painfully quiet. Whether you’re navigating grief, longing for someone you lost, wrestling with family dynamics, or simply feeling out of rhythm this year, this episode is a gentle reminder that your feelings matter.

Heather shares personal reflections, real-life moments, and tender encouragement for anyone who needs to hear, “You’re not alone.” Together, we explore how to honor your heart, protect your peace, and create room for both the joy and the ache this season brings.

If you’ve been carrying a lot this year, this is your space.
This is your reminder to breathe.
This is your permission to feel.

Tissues may be needed — but so is this conversation.

Welcome to The Message in the Mess—a podcast about finding purpose, strength, and truth in life’s messiest moments. This season, we're diving deep into a powerful and often overlooked tool that transforms lives: consistency.

Let’s be honest—life is rarely tidy. It’s chaotic, unpredictable, and full of detours. But in the middle of that mess, there’s a message—and it reveals itself when we keep showing up.

This podcast is for the woman who’s healing, building, stretching, or just trying to make it through the day. It's for the ones who feel tired but not done. The ones who know that growth isn’t about doing it all perfectly—it’s about staying committed, even when it’s hard.

Every week, we’ll talk about how to build trust with yourself, create routines that serve your soul, and find peace in the process. Because consistency isn’t about being rigid—it’s about being faithful to who you’re becoming.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep going.

Come sit with me in the mess. There’s a message waiting for you here.

Welcome back to The Message in the Mess—where we dig through the chaos of life to find the truths that heal us, grow us, and connect us. I’m your host, Heather, and today’s episode is one that hits close to home for so many of us…

Have you ever felt like you’re not enough? Like no matter how much you give, do, or try… it still doesn’t feel like you measure up? Maybe you’re carrying shame, guilt, or a quiet belief that you don’t deserve the good things in life. If that’s you—I see you. I’ve been you.

Today, we’re going to talk about those moments—the ones where self-doubt whispers louder than truth. Where we confuse our worth with our productivity, our past, or the way others have treated us. We're going to unpack why those feelings of unworthiness show up, how to challenge them, and how to begin rewriting the story we've been telling ourselves.

Because even in your most broken moments, there is a message. Even in your pain, your mess, and your silence—you are worthy. Not because of what you’ve done, but because of who you are.

So take a deep breath. Grab a cup of something warm. And let’s walk through this together.

This episode by far is the hardest one I have ever done, and to be honest I was not sure I wanted to do podcasts anymore! But with some time, and some healing here is a very small tribute to the first man I ever loved! This podcast is raw and real and filled with some tears!

Much Love Heather
