Bringing It Home With Heidi

In my final episode of Season 2, I have the pleasure of interviewing addiction specialist Terry Shulman. Terry is the founder of The Shulman Center and the author of four recovery books.  We discuss the first steps to overcoming an addiction; which can be helpful information for anyone because we have either gone through this ourselves or know someone who may be going through some type of addiction right now.Click the links below to learn more:https://www.facebook.com/theshulmancenterhttps://theshulmancenter.com/terrence-shulman.htmlhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/terrence-shulman-jd-lmsw-acsw-caadc-cpc-924594b/https://5lovelanguages.com/

In this episode I have the distinct pleasure of sharing part two of my conversation around Habits with Aransas Savas. In part one of this two-part series , Aransas and I discussed what are habits, why do we have them, and how they work for and against us.  Today we are going to discuss the science of how people change habits and the various tools and applications we can use to change our habits.www.LiveUpDaily.com.

This episode is part of a two-part series on Habits - in Episode 1, titled “Your Habits are not Your Enemy,”  we explore:What are habits and why do we have them ANDHow do they work for and against us?To help me better understand the nuances of habit formation, I have the distinct pleasure of chatting with Aransas Savas,  a professional coach and habit specialist with 20 years of experience helping humans create deep and lasting change. 

Today I have the distinct pleasure of chatting with Monique de Maio, Founder & CMO of on-demand CMO and 30+ year veteran of the communications and marketing industry.  Monique has mastered the art of being the chief marketing officer of her client's businesses and her life. Today we are going to discuss how being intentional about your life, work, choices—your ‘'brand''—is critical to overall alignment and at the end of the day, your happiness - in essence being the CMO of your life.www.ondemandcmo.com

In this episode, we are going to discuss the power of how art as a vehicle helped guide and heal our special guest Debbie Dannheisser.  Art is the center of Debbie's story and you will see how its evolution in her life has made her the person she is today.https://debbiedannheisserthreads.com/https://www.debbiedannheisser.com/

In my conversation with Joe Culley - Founder of Culley + Co, an American-made accessories brand, and Social Dash, a digital marketing agency, what you will find is that Joe has functioned as a self-made business person from day one. These companies are his babies and as you will discover his work ethic and mindset to success is indeed a state of mind.  His honesty and lessons learned will provide encouragement and guidance to those of you who are just at the beginning of your journey or on your way!www.thesocialdash.comwww.culleyco.com

I conducted this interview last year and find that the conversation around entrepreneurship and starting your own business is even more compelling now post pandemic. This conversation highlights some of the key truths around entrepreneurship and Caity shares her story  around risk taking and how she entered the world of running your own business. As you will discover, her path may have not been a straight line to her owning her own business, but as the title suggests – once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur. www.authsocial.com

Career transition is always scary, whether chosen or forced upon you due to circumstances beyond your control. Change is terrifying. Fear of the unknown is terrifying. Fear of failure? The worst. Today I talk to Kristie Veri, co-founder of Cleanscape Construction. Her transition journey will fascinate and enlighten you!

In this episode we discuss how defining moments, if recognized and used as data points, help you make informed life choices that will help you fulfill your destiny. Today I chat to Kayla Simpson, a certified athletic trainer, CrossFit coach and soon to be registered dietitian who had done just that!

In this episode of Bringing it Home with Heidi, we dive deep into a topic that I think is so relevant right now - mental health and overall well-being.  Powerful, thought-provoking, and raw.  You will want to hear my conversation with Lisa Rogers, a holistic trauma specialist.  No matter what your struggle is at the moment, there is something here that I know will resonate and help you or someone you love.

Years ago I read a book titled “Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway”. In this book author Susan Jeffers explored what we fear, why we feel it, and what to do differently. As human beings, we have the potential to be anything we want - but that thing called “fear” often gets in the way and stops us. In this episode I am proud to introduce Sasha Rhee, who as of this recording is just a few months shy of her 16th birthday. As I have gotten to know Sasha I have found her to be quite a remarkable person and wanted to chat with her about the decision she made at 11 years old to join a CrossFit gym - yes you heard me correctly - 11 - and her journey over the last 4 years. This is a story about determination, self-discipline, and how fear can positively drive you in life to accomplish your goals.

In Episode 1, we will be discussing how to successfully pivot in times of crisis, the pandemic of 2020 forced many of us to re-engineer almost everything about our lives - from careers to relationships, raising children, and our own mental health.  I am thrilled to be talking to Ashley Wasilenko - content creator, business owner, mom, and wife who had to do just that.  She will share her strategies and approach that helped her through. I think you will find her story and framework for success very relatable and helpful.

In our fourth conversation around entrepreneurship, I had the pleasure of chatting with Joe Racamato, President and CoFounder of Silex Financial Group, LLC., a residential and commercial mortgage broker based in Northern NJ. Joe has the characteristics of a prizefighter. He never gives up, willing to do whatever it takes to make the business run and be successful. He runs his company with lean overhead and a singular focus on meeting his clients’ needs. In fact, he started his business in the midst of the worst recession this country has seen since the Great Depression of the late 1920s-early 1930s.What I continue to uncover in these conversations is like the other entrepreneur’s I have spoken to, Joe’s dedication to his customers, willingness to take risks and determination to overcome any and all obstacles is what sets him apart. I hope you enjoy this interaction as much as I did and that you continue to see why I enjoy meeting business owners like Joe - their character and determination are unmatched!Happy listening!Heidi

In my ongoing conversation around Working from Home, I am thrilled to launch a new Zoom conversation with 4 terrific women on this topic. We discuss the adjustment to staying at home, balancing workload, young children, partnership and well being. These women were generous with their honesty on what has worked and was has not and how they have managed through. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed the conversation.

Summer is the new Spring buying season. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to talk to Nekije Rizvani and Renee Frey from the Rizvani Group. We discussed some of the challenges to buying and listing homes in this market and how they have addressed them. If you are interested in doing either, this is a really good listen.

Welcome to the third in our series on entrepreneurship. In this episode, we chat with Dr. Sam Rhee, a certified- plastic surgeon in Northern NJ. So you may be thinking - what would entrepreneurship and a plastic surgeon have in common based on the first two conversations we had? Well - Sam’s journey and experience are unique - and what you will discover is that although a talented and respected surgeon - at the end of the day, when it came to breaking out on his own- the experiences he had and the way he addressed them - were the same as any driven and successful entrepreneur. You will appreciate his humility, determination, and honesty. I hope you enjoy his company as much as I did.-HeidiP.S. You can also listen to his podcast - Botox and Burpees @ www.bergencosmetic.com/podcast.

Coming up with enough cash for a down payment to buy a house is the single biggest roadblock for most prospective home buyers. In this episode I chat with Joe Racamato, President of Silex Financial Group about how you can get into the home of your dreams with less than 20% down, dispel some of the myths around down payment, and provide helpful guidance on down payments do’s and don’ts.

In this episode I will talk to Joe Racamato president of Silex Financial Group about private mortgage insurance, dispelling the myths, and discussing the options.

I am thrilled to introduce the second episode in our Entrepreneur Chronicles series. In this episode, I will be talking to Chris Tafaro and Dave Syversten, the owners of Crossfit Bison in Midland Park, NJ. This conversation is unique in many ways. Dave and Chris have found a way to make their partnership not only work but thrive. Their philosophy on recruitment and the value of quality employees is just one key to their success. Humility is another trait that I found common among them both - not only in the way they run the business but in how they view the importance of their members. These are just a few of the characteristics I think you will find interesting and valuable. So listen further to learn more….I hope you enjoy this conversation and take notes - these guys have the secret sauce to success.

My desire to do this series came out of my admiration for the men and women like you and me who have made a go of it in the business world and succeeded. They all share common traits - grit, ability to grind, grace in the face of adversity and “a customer-first” mentality. What I hope you gain from these stories is an insight into what CAN BE. My first guest is Lori Iannone - the owner of AltsEats Cafe - a one-of-a-kind cafe located in offering delicious Vegan, Gluten-free & organic fare and We Knead the Dough - a custom cake, cookie, and confection bakery both located Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ.I hope you enjoy these conversations as much as I have. These people are the real rock stars!instagram.com/alteatscafeinstagram.com/wekneadthedough

Style and fashion are very personal. No one person has the same style or taste and that is what makes fashion so much fun as a personal expression of who you are. However, there are some “essentials” that can take some of the complications out of fashion. Today I will be sharing what some of those basics should be; how to manage a burgeoning closet and that feeling of “I have nothing to wear” along with some sound advice on spring fashion. I am very lucky to have Alexandra Swain (@Stylebyswain) join me to walk through the essentials, closet cleansing and more.

She has a great eye, a strong aesthetic that will appeal to many and a very mature and balanced view on how to get the most out of fashion without spending a fortune.I hope you enjoy our conversation and the great tips we will share.Fashion Forward On :) Heidi
