• Why self-sabotage happens — and how to recognize when it's taking over
• The tug-of-war between your logical brain and your impulse-driven brain
• Heather’s 3-Step Mindset Audit: Recognize excuses, identify limiting beliefs, and rewrite your story

• Tips for being kind to yourself without letting yourself off the hook

Heather also shares her free Mindset Audit Cheat Sheet — a powerful companion to help you notice your thought loops, shift your self-talk, and build habits that actually stick.
