In this powerful live workshop coaching episode, Heather coaches Amy and Shanna through anxiety, fear, and emotional roots that were manifesting as physical symptoms and spiritual blockages.

New Year's resolutions can feel spiritual — but they often create pressure instead of healing. In this solo HEAR episode, Heather challenges the way Christians approach New Year goals and reframes them through a biblical, Spirit-led lens. Rather than resolving to "do better," she invites listeners to hear God first — so growth flows from healing, not striving.
