Heather Hackett’s childhood was lonely and depressing. She attributes the issues she had with her weight as the biggest contributing factor. Her lack of confidence played a role in every facet of her life and by college, she had let herself go completely.

After her wake up call, Heather made huge changes to her life. She began eating healthier and routinely exercising. She eventually started a company called, “I Train Your Kids,” in Sarasota, FL. where she teaches kids, in after-school programs, how to eat healthy with moderation, as well as how to stay physically fit and healthy.

Heather took the negatives of her childhood and turned them into catalysts for improving the lives of thousands of children. Her books, “The Pretty in Me,” and “Shaken by the Silence,” both tell stories that speak directly to children. The aim is to connect with them at their level and show them how they are the ones who are in control of themselves.

Heather Hackett is a true spiritnaut and we're so grateful to have had her on Task Force Zen Radio.
