  • Giving Yourself Permission
    True fulfillment often comes from realizing you don’t have to follow a predefined route. Reimagine your career – the possibilities are endless!
  • Faith & Inner Guidance
    Heidi shares how turning to God through prayer (Philippians 4:6–7) and reflecting on Scripture (Proverbs 3:5–6) shaped her path, giving her clarity and courage to pivot. Often, He doesn’t change our external circumstances immediately, but refines our hearts and renews our minds (Romans 12:2) to align us with His perfect purpose (Jeremiah 29:11).

Engaging Questions:

  1. Where in your current career do you feel the most stuck, and why?
  2. What “hard” are you willing to choose if it means more authenticity and joy in your work?
  3. How might seeking God’s guidance or leaning on your faith help you confidently move forward?
