Transforming Life with Heidi

09/15/2026

I'm on the cover of DMV Empowered Business Magazine. 🥹
The article isn't about business wins. It's about the stage 4 diagnosis that changed everything, the people who held me up through it, and how that fight became the reason I do what I do today.
My diagnosis didn't end my story. It defined my life and expanded my story.
To my circle, Rich, Shadoe, Kylen, my church family, my friends: you are the reason I'm here writing this. ❤️

You already know what you need to do.

You've read the book. Listened to the podcast. Took the notes. Probably highlighted the good parts too.

But here's what nobody tells you: knowing what to do and actually growing from it? Two completely different things.

I'm living in that gap right now. I have shelves full of leadership books and a head full of good intentions. Some days I show up and do the work. Other days, the post-chemo exhaustion keeps me in bed longer than I planned, and "intentional growth" feels like just getting vertical.

But I keep showing up. Maybe not perfectly. Maybe not on schedule. Because John Maxwell taught me something that changed everything: growth doesn't just happen. You have to be intentional about it. He calls it the Law of Intentionality.

That means choosing growth on purpose, even when your body is tired. Even when you'd rather stay where it's safe. Even when showing up looks different than you thought it would.

Information without application is just entertainment.

So here's my question: What's one thing you KNOW you should be doing for your growth that you keep putting off?

Drop it below. Let's get honest about where we're stuck, because that's where the real stuff starts.

🌱 Growth Hour starts Oct 13, every Tuesday at 1 PM. We're walking through the 15 Laws of Growth together, one week at a time. Comment GROW or DM me to grab your spot.

This weekend reminded me of something John Maxwell teaches so well: there is no elevator to the top.

Growth, leadership, and lasting impact are not built by skipping the hard parts. Someone has to be willing to take the road, climb the hill, and set the example.

And real leadership is not about racing ahead and leaving people behind.

It is about walking beside people.

Encouraging them.

Helping them keep going when the road feels long.

And showing, through your own life, what steady growth looks like.

The truth is, the path may not always be fast or easy — but it is where character is built, trust is formed, and leadership becomes real.

That is the kind of leadership I want to live:

not just reaching the top, but helping others climb with me.

Leadership is not just about how far you can go — it is about who you help grow along the way.

Can I be honest? Some days I wonder if anything I'm doing is actually working.
I show up. I do the reps. I draft the email… and then I stare at it. I write the post… and then I talk myself out of hitting publish. I prep the session, tweak the website, outline the next offer… and it feels like nothing moves.
And that voice creeps in: Who's even reading this? Does anyone care? Maybe I should just wait until I have it more figured out.
But I'm reading Atomic Habits right now, and this analogy stopped me in my tracks.
An ice cube sits in a room at 25 degrees. The temperature rises one degree at a time. 26… 27… 28… 29… 30… 31…
Nothing happens.
Then it hits 32, and the ice starts to melt. One single degree made all the difference. But it wasn't really one degree, was it? It was every degree before it that built up to that moment.
That's how growth works. That's how business works. That's how life works.
Every email I almost didn't send. Every post I almost deleted. Every time I showed up even when it felt pointless. Those were all degrees. They all counted.
John Maxwell asks a question that hits me right in the gut every time: "Are you willing to do what I did to do what I do?"
Not the stage moments. Not the highlight reel. The quiet, unglamorous, nobody's-clapping-for-you work. Including the work of just pressing send.
I'm in that season. And maybe you are too.
Your breakthrough isn't missing. It's building. Stay in the work. Hit send. 🧊

I almost didn't post this.
Because honestly? I've been quiet on here. Life got loud, and somewhere along the way I started telling myself I didn't have anything worth saying yet.
Then I saw a quote from Chris Robinson at the International Maxwell conference today that stopped me mid-excuse:
"Don't complain about where you are. Instead, pay the price for where you want to be."
And I sat with that. Because the "price" doesn't always look like hustle and grind. Sometimes it looks like:
🌱 Saying yes before you feel ready
🌱 Showing up on the days nobody notices
🌱 Building something meaningful while life throws everything it has at you
🌱 Choosing growth when staying comfortable would be so much easier
I'm not where I want to be yet. But I'm not where I was either. And that space in between? That's where the growing happens.
So if you've been quiet too... consider this your sign. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep showing up.
Growth doesn't just happen. You have to choose it. 💜
What's one thing you're choosing to show up for right now? I'd love to hear. 👇

Real talk: when's the last time you did something intentionally for your own growth?

Not reacting to a problem. Not putting out a fire. Not just surviving the week.

But actually choosing to grow?

That's Law #1 of John Maxwell's 15 Laws of Growth: "Growth doesn't just happen."

If that hits a little too close to home… you might want to be in the room on August 18. Free session, small group, real conversation.
