The Work That Becomes Love 02/10/2026

The Work That Becomes Love In this episode, Heidi reflects on spaciousness, commitment, and the emotional weather of our times. After a week of meeting new clients and preparing to begin a six-month class herself, she explores what it means to grow over time — and how rest, creativity, and community become lifelines in seasons of collective intensity. We are being asked to carry more than we can always name. And yet, through astrology, poetry, and the steady work of love, mountains can move.

Heidi closes with a reminder that this is not a time to go silent. This is a time to create. To love. To show up.
