What does it really mean to reclaim your power and be seen in a world that often encourages women to stay quiet or small? Whether it’s in your relationships, your business, or your daily life, owning your voice and stepping fully into visibility can feel like a radical act of self-trust. This conversation is all about breaking free from patterns of playing small and learning how to advocate for yourself—loudly and proudly. If you've ever felt like you’re dimming your light, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I’m joined by the powerful and inspiring Heidi Schalk—coach, podcast host, and fearless advocate for female empowerment. Heidi gets real about her own journey of rediscovering her voice after divorce, building a business from scratch, and helping other women do the same. This conversation is full of raw truth, encouragement, and actionable wisdom.

Listen to the episode and get inspired as Heidi and I talk about:

• The subtle ways women hand over their power—and how to take it back
• Why being a stay-at-home mom made Heidi realize just how “out of the loop” she was when it came to money
• The major turning point that made her say, “I can’t live like this anymore”
• The messy, behind-the-scenes truth of starting a business while juggling two kids and six animals (!)
• Her surprising secret for getting over the fear of being seen (spoiler: it involves going live... a lot!)
• Why your WHY needs to make you cry (yep, that kind of deep)
• The best advice for cutting through the noise and actually building momentum in your biz

This episode is your reminder that being seen, being heard, and being empowered is not just a slogan—it’s a choice you get to make every day. Heidi’s story proves that even when life throws curveballs, you can rise, rebuild, and shine brighter than ever.
