For 26 years, she was the responsible one. The wife who held it together, the mother who never let a ball drop, the woman everyone leaned on. She even built a leadership program teaching other women how to find themselves — without noticing she’d lost her own reflection along the way.
Then life forced her to look closer. A marriage that finally cracked open. A hysterectomy that removed the one place she’d been quietly storing 26 years of pain, leaving her nowhere left to hide from it. What could have broken her became the moment she came home to herself.
Today, she’s rebuilding life on her own terms. As a life coach, HR consultant, and host of Heather’s Kitchen Sink, she helps women stop performing responsibility and start reclaiming their lives — one honest, unfiltered conversation at a time.
Say the true thing before it becomes a symptom.
Unprocessed pain doesn’t vanish — it just finds somewhere else to live.
Firing what drains you is the most honest thing you’ll ever do.
One-on-one work for women ready to get honest about who they are outside their roles — untangling identity from job title, rebuilding a mission and vision that’s actually theirs, and setting boundaries with the relationships that drain them. Rooted in her signature “Who Are You Without the Labels?” journey.
Book a Discovery Call →Practical support for women leading through the hard parts — HR challenges, workplace conflict, restructuring, high-stakes conversations — drawn from Heather’s 20+ years in HR and employment law consulting. For leaders who want to hold their ground without losing themselves in the process.
Book a Discovery Call →At 17, the world called her a statistic. She spent the next two decades proving them wrong — building a 20-year HR career and holding a marriage and family together, one heavy lift at a time.
A marriage of 26 years came apart, and a hysterectomy removed the one place she’d been quietly storing the pain. For the first time, there was nowhere left to hide from herself.
She founded Upskill Consulting and turned the question she’d been avoiding — who are you without the labels? — into a program for other women asking it too.
Now she’s traveling solo, saying no without apologizing, and hosting Heather’s Kitchen Sink — telling the truth about all of it, mess included.
