Soulful Living Insights by Heather

A journal of becoming—shaped by illness, travel, identity, creativity, and the practice of intentional living.

This blog began during a personal reckoning: a diagnosis that demanded stillness, years of healing, and travels across countries that reshaped who I believed myself to be. What started as a record of rewilding the spirit has grown into a long-form exploration of presence, identity, emotional well-being, leadership, and the creative life.

Through essays rooted in lived experience—from the pulse of Vietnam to the quiet expanse of the Colorado mountains—I write about belonging, resilience, mindful living, and the deep work of returning to oneself. These reflections blend story and insight, offering guidance for anyone navigating change, seeking clarity, or rebuilding life with intention.
