A Treasure Trove of Thought Provoking Advice and Conversation

So grateful a colleague suggested I get to know this podcast. I already love Heike and feel like we’d be friends in real life. Can’t wait to enjoy the archive of podcasts and hear all the wisdom they contain.

A must listen Podcast for all entrepreneurs

I discovered this podcast a few years ago, while starting to build my business Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures. I have learned so much from all these guests and from Heike. They inspire me to keep going, to go after my goals, and to recognize that I am worth it. I look forward to each new episode and know I will pull nuggets of wisdom from it.

Educational and Professional

I just listened to my first episode and found it very educational and professional. A notch above many health podcasts for women. I am now a subscriber and have lots of episodes to catch up on. Thank you Ms. Yates.

Sue Reynolds’s episode

Listening to Sue tell her story about how she had to really be ready and how she didn’t succeed at first was beautiful. One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation was the fact that she did not fit the stereotype of the typical morbidly obese person. She in fact was highly disciplined. And I think it’s really important to note that there is no stereotype for any type of person especially obese people and my heart goes out to her for sharing her story here.
enjoylife66

always spot on

Really enjoying the podcast with Heike and all the varitety of great inspirational topics from fitness and body issues to mindset and motivation. I often smile at myself (I’m 55) and how much it’s nice to see that we’re all on the same journey and shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves. Thank you Heike for your great Podcast!

Insightful!!

What an amazing podcast. I did some research and recommended this to an aunt of mine a few months back and she has thanked me on multiple occasions for sending it to her. Just sent it over to my mom who is nearing the age of 50 as well and am hoping for her to receive the goodness and love that Heike is providing for her audience!

Straight to the point

We, women in our late 40s and beyond, have a lot in common when it comes to health, weight management, stress, sleep etc. I love the practical tips in this podcast, and the large variety of topics that are discussed every week. I also love that Heike doesn’t do much chit chat and dives right into the matter as soon as the episode starts, thank you :)

Real-life inspiration!

Love listening to all of these interviews and talks about how to live healthier, without comparison to what we "should" be, in our own way. Listening makes me feel more uplifted, informed, and ready for my next micro-steps!
