Yes, a producer from The Steve Harvey show called me today and inquired about having me on the show!!! AMAZING right!?
So why did I say “no?”
Just because a door opens, doesn’t mean you should jump at what’s behind it!
When I got the phone call from the producer, I was speaking at a charity event. I listened to the voicemail and was so excited and couldn’t wait to call back to get the scoop.
The producer told me that they wanted me, and my step-daughter to come on the show as guests for a step-mom / step-daughter segment. Now when she called, I thought she was calling to have me on as an expert who could give insight on the topic. I did write a best-selling book called “You’re Not My Real Mom” about step parenting after all!
I called my daughter Mattie and we talked about it. Mattie took a call from the producer as well. After some really personal questions, and what seemed like “digging for drama,” Mattie and I decided not to do it.
I’ve dreamed of being on that show, and I absolutely love Steve Harvey, but nothing is worth creating drama in my relationship with my kiddo, and nothing is worth my integrity.
I messaged the producer back and offered to come on the show alone, as a best-selling author and expert, who could provide valuable strategies to guests who are struggling in blended families. We will see what she says!
We’ve all been tempted to put up with something that doesn’t feel right because we want something so bad, but it’s just not worth your integrity. Opportunities are not “one and done,” there will be more!
Your dreams will come true when you stay true to your personal truth! (There’s alotta truth there!)
The best part of my day today…. speaking at the “Hope 4 Us” construction skills training course which trains people in construction, then helps them get jobs! Now THAT was a huge honor for me!
I hope you have a fantastic week and remember to think, act, and live abundantly because opportunities are always presenting themselves!
Love,
Heather

Have you seen the hashtag #sorrynotsorry (sorry not sorry?) What the hell does that mean? Are you sorry or are you not sorry?
Passive-aggressive communication has become so acceptable these days. Apologizing when you are not really sorry, or repeatedly apologizing just to make yourself feel better is not an apology.
If you say “I’m sorry” all the time, you might be an energy vampire, just sucking the life force from people.
Watch today’s short video in which I will offer something else you can say instead of the overused “I’m sorry” which doesn’t carry much meaning anymore.
Spread the love, and live inspired now!
Love,
Heather

Have you had “the talk” with your kids yet? If you don’t… someone else will! And you don’t want that someone else to be a boy/girl friend with raging hormones!
I think the conversation about sex and our bodies needs to be started when kids are old enough to learn to speak. As little toddlers we teach them the names of our head, shoulders, knees, and toes, so don’t start referring to the other parts as bum bums and winkys. It’s OK to say the real words.
Penis and vagina are not bad words. However, if we make them “bad words” then kids think they are bad body parts, which leads to bad body image.
Watch today’s short video and let me know what you think about this topic! I look forward to your feedback!
There is an entire chapter in my book “Live Inspired Now” on this topic! If you need more help with parenting healthy and happy kids, please scroll down and check it out at the link below!
Watch it, share it, and live inspired now!

A cat that likes you will let you touch him. A cat that loves you will let you pet him. A cat that trusts you completely will lay on his back and let you rub his belly.
Now, apply this to relationships. Until you fully surrender and become completely vulnerable to another person, you are not fully committed to them. If you can’t fully surrender, or “show your belly,” then maybe you should reconsider whether or not you should be in that relationship.
Relationships don’t work for long when you have walls up. The greatest gift you can give to someone you love is gift of you! Get fully invested in your relationship, “show your belly,” play full out, enjoy the feelings of complete trust and honesty, and Live Inspired Now!
