I grew up in a small trailer park in Kentucky, the only child of a blue-collar father who worked six days a week to provide, and a mother who was diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia soon after I was born.
Having a mother who perpetually resided in mania or depression left me with deep emotional wounds. As a result, I’ve spent my entire adult life learning to reprogram myself neurologically so that I no longer perpetuate (or allow) unhealthy patterns in my personal and professional relationships.
It is through this deep inner work that I gained confidence to quit my executive position in San Francisco, start my own company and travel full time to places I love. I now choose joy, healthy relationships, self-love, and adventure in every area of life.
Personally
Prior to A Project Called Life, I helped scale Marine Layer, a San Francisco based apparel company, from start-up to national brand.
As the VP of Retail, I led the expansion from 5 to 300 employees and 1 to 47 stores, overseeing over $40M in revenue and all strategic functions of the retail channel, including: operations, hiring/training, customer experience, real estate, store design and store merchandising.
My impact went beyond business at Marine Layer, as I was the driving force within the organization that inspired the team to believe deeply in themselves and the brand. Thanks to my guidance, the team developed a mindset that anything is possible – a belief that still permeates the company culture today.

Conscious Leadership Training
Our training helps you break free from the expectations and conditioned beliefs that limit your potential. Here, you learn to embrace the creative expression of who you truly are.
This journey is about unbecoming—shedding old narratives and stepping beyond the ego’s constructs. It’s through this deep inner work that we liberate ourselves, unlocking the courage to lead, wisdom to trust, and freedom to fully express ourselves.
By integrating ancient wisdom, modern science, and leadership philosophy, Heather deconstructed everything she thought she had to be—only to rebuild from a place of true inner strength and spiritual fortitude. Our programs are built on this first hand experience, designed to help you establish an unshakable sense of self—not based on external validation, but rooted in awareness, trust, and conscious creation.
This path positively impacts your leadership, your relationships, and the freedom you experience in your project called life.
