So, you think you have it all.
A great career, a nice apartment, an 800 credit score. You’re officially a grown-up with the adult job. The world looks at you and says, “wow, everything’s going your way”. It seems like everything’s fine. What else could you ask for?
But it’s not fine. You look around and know something’s missing. Maybe you mutter some four-letter words – “fine” is a 4-letter word, after all.
Something’s telling you there’s a lot more out there. Maybe your grown-up life is stopping you from actually growing into the person you were always meant to be.
For Heather Wyatt, it was a realization that perhaps she was never meant to fill the role written for her by society.
Though she didn’t realize it immediately, her role was written during her childhood as the daughter of a single mother who moved around a lot for financial reasons. Like many kids who move around a lot, Heather admired friends who stayed in one place, living in houses with two parents where everything was “normal” and “fine”.
When she tried out the “normal grown-up” thing for herself, she realized the idea of being an adult in the same town she grew up in, sending her kids to the same school she went to, having her previous classmates be her kids’ teachers, was the makings of a living nightmare. Actually, Heather got bored at the prospect of staying in the same place for too long.
Along the way, she discovered that bartending, supposedly not an “adult” job, not only paid a lot more, but helped her develop communication and selling skills far beyond anything she could find working in an office. Then COVID came along and she went into Health Coaching. Quickly, she discovered that Health Coaching was a dead end, at least for her, but she didn’t want to be a business coach either.
So, blending her bartending skills and her knowledge of Health Coaching led her to where she is today, organizing wellness parties and retreats under the Goddess Getawaves brand.
In a moment, when you meet Heather, you’ll learn from her the power of adaptability, perspective in understanding different realities, and the courage required to embrace change. It’s a fascinating journey of self-discovery that could be the ride you need to hitch if you’re looking around muttering four-letter words to yourself about how “fine” your current reality is.
Heather’s hype song is “Castle” by Halsey.

Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today’s hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn’t built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It’s built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication.
Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it’s easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you’ve got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun” team-building events.
But let’s be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to strengthen culture, create connection, and foster community.
That’s where I come in. Forward thinking companies are hiring me to produce internal/private podcasts. To bring leadership and employees together through authentic stories, real conversations, and meaningful connections. Think of it as your old-school printed company newsletter – reinvented for the modern workforce. I KNOW, what a cool idea, right?!
If you run, work for, or know of a company that wants to upgrade communication, facilitate connections, build community, and maintain culture, let’s chat. Message me at Lori@ZenRabbit dot com.
Because when people feel heard, they engage.
When they engage, they perform.
And when they perform, the business succeeds beyond projections.
So, let’s go hang out with Heather. She’s from Jersey, so she tells things like she sees them, which means you’re going to enjoy a frank, open chat!
