  • In today’s episode, I’m diving into the incredible role belief plays in achieving success—whether financially, professionally, or personally. Drawing from my own experience as a trial attorney in Philadelphia, I’ve seen firsthand how belief can be a major driver of financial outcomes. I’ve witnessed how deeply believing in yourself and your goals can transform not only your career but also your entire life.

    Have you ever felt like something was impossible? I’m here to tell you that belief can make the impossible a reality. I’ll share the story of Roger Bannister, who famously broke the four-minute mile—a feat once thought to be unachievable. His story demonstrates how belief can push you beyond perceived limits. My hope is that by hearing this, you’ll feel inspired to tap into your own belief systems and use your mind as a tool to manifest your goals.

    I’m also excited to introduce the Belief Builders Academy, a program I created where belief is at the center of achieving success. Through this program, I’ve seen clients completely transform their lives—whether it’s landing promotions or strengthening their personal relationships—all thanks to the power of belief. In this episode, I’ll share some of these incredible stories and explain how our community, coaching, and masterclasses can help you build both conscious and subconscious belief systems to truly transform your life.

  • “With delight or not at all.” Since Heather has taken this on as her mantra, it has changed everything.

    It started with her definition of advocating. She defines it as 1-knowing what you want 2-asking for it, out loud and with delight and 3-mastering the art of the ask.

    That delight piece was interesting because she started getting what she wanted when she asked with delight. Then she wondered what would happen if she did everything with delight. Find out what did happen-and what could happen for you!
