A single season can change everything: career, identity, relationships, and what you thought you could handle. We sit down with Heather for a raw, steady conversation about what it takes to rebuild when life turns unsafe and your mind starts believing there is no way out. Her story moves from ambition and growth into domestic violence, stalking, and the brutal reality of disentangling a shared home, all while trying to keep showing up like everything is fine.
We talk openly about depression, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts, then get specific about what helped Heather stay here: “one more day,” a few trusted people who simply listened, and a gratitude practice grounded in the smallest truths like coffee, sunlight, and breathing. If you have ever supported someone through trauma recovery, we also break down why you do not need the perfect words. You need presence, patience, and active listening.
Heather also shares the mission of SAVA Center, a Sexual Assault Victim Advocacy Center serving Weld and Larimer counties, including free therapy for survivors from age three and up, support through SANE exams, and prevention education in schools focused on body autonomy and healthy boundaries.
