Starting off my mini-series with an assumptions video as a way to get to know me! My goal through this episode was to show the vast difference between what we perceive on the outside vs. the people we really are. Many times we project an embellished and perfected version of ourselves to other people and on social media in order to create an illusion that we don't struggle on the inside. I hope we will open up vulnerable conversations on difficulties that we all go through as we're growing up, in order to connect with others on a deeper level - and I hope you will join me as well! #hearwithheidi is a mini series that will be posted mid-week with short 10-15 minute episodes on my passions, hobbies, and personal anecdotes to share.
