​Heidi’s Lane with Heidi Powell

This conversation wrecked me in the best way. In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Methven, a mother, author, breathwork facilitator, and widow who lost her husband to suicide. Melissa shares the raw truth behind her picture-perfect life and how grief shattered and ultimately awakened her. We talk about finding purpose after loss, raising children through trauma, and the painful yet beautiful path of healing. Her courage to speak what most people hide is something I'll never forget. If you've ever felt broken or silenced by grief, this is the episode your heart needs.Watch the full episode on YouTube here or head to https://www.youtube.com/@RealHeidiPowellResources mentioned in this episode:Melissa's book: The Truth Behind the Smiles: https://amzn.to/4j07QFF Melissa's podcast: Not Alone with Melissa Sue MethvenTV segment about Melissa's story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MZIqKP1U4o Here are the key moments from the episode:0:41 Meeting Melissa and Watching Her Rise6:05 Her Husband's Death by Suicide9:17 The Day Everything Changed13:12 The Hidden Pain Behind a “Perfect” Life15:04 Suppressing Her Voice and the Toll on Her Health20:02 Telling the Kids Their Dad Was Gone26:00 Leaving Alaska to Start Fresh33:12 Calling Her Pain a Gift39:03 The Weight of Regret and Guilt45:02 Why Telling the Truth Matters54:15 Giving Her Kids Tools She Never Had1:02:13 Living a Life of PurposeConnect with Heidi:

In the grand finale of our “No Fail New Year” series, I poured my heart out about the game-changing power of mindset. This journey was more than just sharing tips; it was about unveiling the profound lessons that reshaped my life and, I hope, will touch yours too.  We've traversed through integrity, the tumults of overthinking, the essence of realistic expectations, and the stealthy thief of joy—comparison. In this episode,, I shared something deeply personal: The magic of "yet". This tiny word holds the key to transforming a fixed mindset—rooted in the belief that our talents and intelligence are static—into a growth mindset, where every challenge becomes a stepping stone to greater heights.  It's about shifting from a world where we're defined by what we achieve to one where we're celebrated for the courage to try, to grow, and to embrace every part of our journey.  My hope is that you see, in my story, the limitless potential within yourself to evolve, to learn, and to overcome. Let's not just dream of a better life; let's embark on this continuous journey of growth, together.
