Author Heather Dixon discusses her two new releases, Burlington and Last Summer at the Lake House, both of which released this fall. In Burlington, a mother of two moves to a new neighborhood and quickly gets caught up in the drama of the other mothers. However, the schoolyard politics soon take a dark turn when one of the moms goes missing. In Last Summer at the Lake House, three sisters are called back to the family lake house after their father's death only to learn that he was hiding a dark secret from them all. Despite being in different genres, Heather's books share similar themes of motherhood, belonging and identity.

Thriller vs. Suspense... what's the difference? Heather Dixon, whose debut novel Burlington hits shelves this week, chats with Mary Kole about getting published and the appeal of suspenseful women's fiction. She also discusses plotting high stakes, developing character arcs, and writing "quiet stories." Heather Dixon:Website: https://www.heatherdixon.ca/Twitter: https://twitter.com/hdixonwriterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heatherdixonwriter/Good Story Company: If you have a story in your head, we're here to help you get it out into the world.

It was a moment of insight that Heather Dixon remembers having not once but twice during the untold number of hours she has spent in examining how divisional numbers were being “rolled up” to be reported. In the process of rolling up certain numbers, Dixon noted that parts of a division's business would be exhibiting outstanding performance, but when the division reported its results, the parts were frequently hidden.     Observes Dixon: “These divisions were really doing a lot better than how things appeared on the page.” For Dixon, whose resume includes chief accounting officer stints at both Aetna and Walgreens, the reported numbers were frequently not the problem—instead, it was how the companies were accustomed to explaining their results. As Dixon explains it, a moment of divisional insight at each company prompted finance to mobilize a company-wide effort “to tell the story better.” Says Dixon: “We went through a recalibration internally when we said, ‘Let's look at all of the things that we do as a company and pull them apart and figure out how to put them together in the right way.” According to Dixon, “the right way” is an approach that helps investors to better understand the company. “If the market understands what you're doing and they understand the pieces of your company, they can give you a multiple that values each division of your company separately—and they can really expand these multiples for the segments that exhibit performance that deserves higher numbers,” she notes. What began as an examination of how one division rolled up its numbers ultimately became a wake-up call for the company's reporting at large: “What I have twice seen in my experience is that we were able to take the multiple for the overall company up. Again, same company, same building blocks, higher multiple—all because we decided to report the information in a little bit of a different way.” –Jack Sweeney

Because of her diagnosis she is living more determined than ever before to live like Jesus in every moment and discovering hope despite the story she's been given.

Trading heartache for hope Relying on God's movement in the details of our story, even when it can't be seen Gaining confidence to act in the part of our stories that we can change while watching expectantly for God to redeem the parts we can't This conversation wrecked me in all the best ways.

Circumstances we did not choose in a fallen broken world do not need to mean that we cannot choose to live determined lives.

Listen in as Denise and Heather continue their discussion on how to live a determined life when life does not make sense.

The Warrior Workout as a shift in personal perception of what is possible to accomplish no matter your fitness level or physical conditioning.

Heather and I chat about the power of God's Word to change lives, the loss she has experienced in her life, dealing with anxiety, and her Bible studies: Ready and Determined. 4:08 Heather shares her story of coming to know Jesus and how her love of God's Word took root in her heart 10:42 Heather walks us through the major medical events in her life that led to a diagnosis of vEDS (Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) and how that has challenged and changed her faith. Major Medical Events: Pre-mature birth, Colon rupture, miscarriage, two aneurysm flare ups (kidney and gut), kidney infarction, and left carotid artery rupture. vEDS makes your blood vessels and organs prone to rupture.  There is no cure or treatment for vEDS.  "The prescription he gave me was prepare your bucket list and live your life well, because the average life expectancy of someone with Vascular EDS is 48 years." 18:22 Heathertalks about the days and months following the diagnosis. "I wasn't afraid to die. I wasn't afraid to go see Jesus. I hunger to see Jesus. The hardest thing for me was coming to terms with the fact that God would take care of my husband and son." "We had to come face to face with the reality that we are not promised another day on this earth." "During that season I literally sat an alarm on my phone every 60 minutes to pray, because that was about as long I would last before I felt a wave of a panic attack coming on." Deuteronomy 30:19-20 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live20 and that you may love the Lordyour God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lordis your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. "I said, Okay, I am going to choose life. I am going to put two feet on the floor.... choose life, Heather. You still have life to live.  If you have a pulse, you have a purpose." "I don't think God intentionally caused pain, but I do think He used that pain to bring me to my knees, to a place where I had to confess to Him, I'm not giving You everything.  I am not giving you my trust over my husband and my son and their life. It was that moment when he said, 'Choose life. I got you. I got your family, choose life'." 25:58 Have a wholistic tool box when dealing with anxiety. 29:39Heathershares encouragement and tools she uses in dealing with anxiety. You are not alone in this struggle.  Other humans struggle with it, but so did Jesus. "At the final moments of the cross in Luke 22, He is literally sweating blood, because He is so afraid."  There is a Greek term used agonia for agony in the passage, when Jesus is praying to God out of fear for His life. "We serve a Savior who understands what it feels like to battle that in His body physically, in His mind. He understands what it feels like to cry out to God for relief." Don't expect to fix it all at once Make intentional, sustainable choices 35:58Heather shares about the 2 Bible studies she has written.

"Prepare your bucket list and live your life well.” These are the words a doctor spoke to Heather Dixon in 2015. She's speaker, author and bible teacher who understands the challenges of living with a story that is not easy. Diagnosed with an incurable and terminal genetic disorder that she inherited from her mother, Heather is passionate about encouraging and equipping women to trust in God, face their greatest fears, and live with hope, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances. When she is not blogging at The Rescued Letters or speaking at women’s conferences and events, Heather loves to make the most of everyday moments such as cooking for her husband and son, brainstorming all the possible ways to organize Legos and superheroes, checking out way too many library books, or unashamedly indulging in her love for all things Disney. Heather is the author of Ready: Finding the Courage to Face the Unknown and a regular contributor to Journey magazine. Her second Bible study, Determined: Living Like Jesus in Every Moment, a six-week study of Luke, will be available in April 2019. In today's podcast episode, Heather and I discuss: The blessings of daily "Bucket List" living; How God used her young son to draw her back into faith after the sudden loss of her father; How we can pursue spiritually abundant living; How Jesus modeled intentional living for all of us because he knew that his life on earth was limited.

This week, Jeff talks to author/artist Heather Dixon Wallwork about her new novel "The Enchanted Sonata" based on the tale of the Nutcracker, and we discuss her new book in which Clara Stahlbaum is whisked away to an enchanted empire where she must face a magician who uses music as spells while she faces her own future. Heather also talks about her work as a story artist for Disney, and - as a huge Mary Poppins fan - shares some of her thoughts about the upcoming sequel. Then we open the mailbag, discussing topics including... taking a tour of California ending at Disneyland in July; tips for booking hotels in summer 2019; D23 member benefits and studio tour advice; a listener review of Lamplight Lounge; an awkward Haunted Mansion moment that demonstrates the value of cast members; adulting alone at Disneyland; Mousetalgia's past Disney regrets; can't-miss holiday features at Disneyland; dining options for allergic eaters; and Disneyland in the sun vs. Disneyland after dark.

It's painful to think about, but the minute we're born, we also have a death sentence. How can we use this knowledge counter-intuitively to live a better, more joy-filled life? Cheri and Amy discuss the power of living each moment and leveraging Heather Dixon's idea of a "bucket list life."

Heather was diagnosed with Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, the same autoimmune disease her mom died from. Heather began to grieve the loss of the life she expected to live and was afraid of how the disease will impact her family, but realized she had the opportunity to make sustainable choices and manage her disease. As her perspective shifted, she started exploring what it means to live with courage. Heather says we need to talk about, "the type of courage when you put two feet on the floor on a morning when you don't like your story."
