Some conversations stay with you because they put words to experiences you’ve quietly carried for years.

In this episode, Heather sits down with Kexin Xu, Founder of RISE2GETHER, for a grounding conversation about leadership, identity, and trusting yourself when the path ahead feels unclear.

Kexin shares her journey navigating career growth, cultural expectations, and self-doubt as an Asian woman in corporate spaces, and how uncertainty became an invitation to lead more authentically. Together, they explore how imposter syndrome often shows up not because we are incapable, but because we care deeply about our work and impact.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Reframing imposter syndrome as awareness and care, not failure
• How cultural narratives shape confidence and leadership
• The quiet strength of asking for help
• Leading with integrity while honoring your identity
• Why growth feels lighter when you don’t do it alone

This conversation is a reminder that leadership doesn’t require perfection. It requires presence, honesty, and the willingness to rise as you are.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’ll be happy when…” — when things slow down, when work gets easier, when life feels less chaotic — this episode is your invitation to pause and pivot.

After a recent family trip to Disneyland, Heather found herself reflecting on what joy really means in everyday life. In this episode, she shares the lessons that surfaced through the laughter, sticky snacks, and inevitable chaos — and how those moments mirror what she teaches her clients: that joy isn’t something you wait for or earn once life feels perfect, it’s something you choose and allow, even in the mess.

In this heartfelt episode, Heather unpacks the real meaning of self-care and presence, introduces her simple BRB method (Breathe, Reflect, Become), and shares how to reset your energy so you can stop postponing joy and start living it every day.

You’ll also learn:

• Why joy isn’t a reward — it’s a rhythm you can return to anytime.
• The three biggest traps keeping you from feeling fulfilled.
• How to choose presence over perfection using the BRB method.
• Daily joy practices to stay grounded, balanced, and heart-aligned.

Because the real flex isn’t having it all together — it’s feeling happy from the inside out.
