  • 1203: Psilocybin, Plant Medicine, Psychedelics: A Journey Into Surrender & Emotional Freedom with Eddy Tony
    Apr 4 2025

    What if the freedom you’re craving isn’t on the other side of doing more—but of letting go in a way you never have before?

    In this deeply personal episode, Heather sits down with ceremonial guide and psychedelic facilitator Eddy Tony, the man who held space for her own ceremonies.

    Heather opens up about why she was initially resistant to psychedelic work, how it found her anyway, and what it revealed that traditional personal development practices never could.

    Eddy shares his own emotional “dark night of the soul” and how it led him from party culture and burnout to becoming a sought-after guide for transformational healing. Together, they dive into what it actually takes to surrender, the difference between desperation and readiness, and why true leadership requires emotional discomfort.

    In this episode, Heather and Eddy explore:

    *How to approach psychedelic work responsibly—and how to know if it’s aligned

    *Why “bad trips” are not actually bad but incredible reflective opportunities

    *The energetic boundary tools Eddy uses to hold space for deep transformation

    *The identity shift that happens when you stop outsourcing your healing

    Healing isn’t always logical. Sometimes the most powerful growth happens when you stop managing everything—and trust the deeper work to unfold.

    Eddy Tony grew up near London, Ontario, in a home influenced by both Catholicism, through his mother, and Buddhism, through his father. As the eldest of three, he developed a deep curiosity about life’s big questions but drifted from faith in his twenties.

    For a decade, he owned a Thai restaurant and a gay nightclub. However, a personal health and lifestyle crisis became a turning point, leading him into the wellness industry and inspiring him to open a boutique fitness studio.

    As a coach, he witnessed remarkable transformations in his clients. However, the tragic loss of his youngest brother, who fell 17 stories to his death, compelled him to reconnect with his spirituality and explore his inner world more deeply.

    Eddy embarked on a 2.5-year healing sabbatical, studying Eastern Medicine and Indigenous healing practices. In 2019, he established a private home practice in Toronto, offering an urban retreat that supports individuals through mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical challenges.

    His journey has been guided by passion and purpose, and he considers it a true blessing to do this work. Eddy looks forward to supporting those who seek healing and transformation.

  • 1202: "How To Have Uncomfortable Conversations"
    Mar 26 2025

    If you’ve been avoiding uncomfortable conversations because you’re afraid of rocking the boat, this episode is a gentle kick in the butt to stop leaking your energy and start speaking up.

    Heather is pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest energy leaks she sees in the lives of high-achieving women: avoiding uncomfortable conversations.

    In this episode, Heather walks you through how she handles tough talks with her husband, kids, and team—without spiraling into conflict, guilt, or emotional shutdown.

    Listen in as Heather shares:

    • Why avoiding conflict drains your energy (and the shift you'll see as soon as you begin to embrace discomfort)
    • The exact script Heather uses to start hard conversations with calm and clarity
    • The Resentment List exercise that shows you exactly where your energy is leaking

    You don’t need to fear hard conversations. Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re doors to deeper connection, clarity, and freedom.

  • 1201: "The Motherhood ‘Should' Scam: Breaking Free from Guilt & Overwhelm with Zoe Blaskey"
    Mar 19 2025

    Motherhood comes with a rulebook we never agreed to—a list of "shoulds" that tell us how to parent, sacrifice, and ignore our own needs. It's time to break the rules.

    In this episode, Heather sits down with Zoe Blaskey, founder of Motherkind, to challenge the outdated expectations that leave mothers stuck in guilt, burnout, and self-sacrifice.

    If you've ever felt like you’re losing yourself in motherhood or struggling to balance who you are with who the world expects you to be, this conversation is for you.

    Listen up as Heather and Zoe dive into:

    • What the "should" scam is—and why it keeps moms stuck in guilt & exhaustion
    • The real reason self-care feels like another to-do list (and what to do instead)
    • How to set boundaries without guilt—even when it feels uncomfortable
    • Why emotional intelligence and self-compassion change the way you parent

    Start reclaiming your version of motherhood. Rewrite the motherhood rulebook on your own terms—without the guilt.

    Zoe Blaskey is the founder of Motherkind, a transformational coach, and author of the Sunday Times bestseller Motherkind: A New Way to Thrive in a World of Endless Expectations. She hosts the acclaimed Motherkind podcast, one of the UK’s top family podcasts with 5 million downloads, featuring experts like Dr. Becky Kennedy and Dr. Gabor Maté. A regular media contributor, Zoe has been featured in Psychologies, The Times, Goop, and more, and collaborates with brands like Meta, Calm, and Sweaty Betty. She lives in Dorset with her husband and two daughters.

I didn't care about anything but keeping her alive

Heather, I cant believe I heard someone go through what my daughter and I went through in relation to my pulling her out of school. I have had SO MUCH SHAME, because of this. Thank you for this topic!
