In this episode, I’m breaking down the 5 biggest myths about nervous system work and what every Christian woman needs to know before starting this journey. If you’ve ever thought nervous system work means you’ll always be calm, or if you’ve worried it was “too new age,” this conversation will set you free. Here’s what I’ll cover: Why healing often feels worse before it feels better What scripture actually says about pruning, stress, and regulation How neuroscience and faith confirm each other What you can realistically expect when you begin this process If you’re a high-performing woman who’s tired of pushing past your limits, this episode will give you both clarity and hope. 👉 Ready to step into deeper healing and peace?

The world feels chaotic right now, doesn’t it? With constant bad news, cultural pressure, and endless noise, it’s easy to feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. But here’s the truth: you were never meant to hold it all. In this episode, I share: Why it’s okay to release what you were never designed to carry. How to shift from leading out of pressure to leading from peace and overflow. The importance of listening for God’s specific direction instead of bowing to fear or outside expectations. A guided Lectio Divina with Psalm 23 to help you pause and practice hearing His voice. I know rest doesn’t come easy for leaders—but it’s exactly what you need most. That’s why I created the Secret Place Retreat. This is your invitation to step away from the noise, breathe deeply, and encounter God in a way that restores your soul and gives you fresh clarity for the season ahead. 👉 Learn more about the Secret Place Retreat HERE.   If this episode spoke to you, I want to connect.

This week, I’m back after a break—and I’m sharing the raw truth about transition. We moved our family across the country from Pittsburgh, PA to Phoenix, Arizona and it's been BRUTIFUL. Transition can be both brutal and beautiful. It’s the tension of excitement and grief, of trusting God while wrestling with what is still yet to come. In this honest episode, I share: Why transition is always a both/and (not just good or bad). The pitfalls to avoid when you’re in between the old and the new. Three powerful truths to help you navigate your own transition season with courage and faith. If God has you in transition right now, this one’s for you.If this episode spoke to you, I'd love to connect and pray for you while you're in transition. My DM's are open on Instagram! 

HELLO FRIEND! We have a BIG update for you. We are so excited about this next chapter and I look forward to all that's to come. In the meantime, come say "hi" on Instagram! X,Heather

You’re doing everything “right.”The business is growing. The money’s coming in. People see you as successful.But deep down… something feels off. You’re tired. You’re emotionally disconnected. Your relationships are strained.And while your business is thriving, your life feels like it’s quietly falling apart. In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the high-achieving woman who is winning in business but losing in life.We’re going to talk about what’s really behind the burnout, the disconnect, and the constant striving—and why more strategy is not the answer. You’ll hear: My honest story about chasing success in a business I didn’t love The patterns I see in my clients who come to me for strategy but stay for healing Why your nervous system, your belief system, and your relationship with God all impact your business more than you think What you can do when you realize the life behind the business needs more attention Let this be your invitation to stop pretending everything’s okay and finally get to the root of what’s really going on.   Need someone to walk with you through this?DM me the word ROOTED over on Instagram @heathershriverburns. I’d love to support you as you begin building a solid foundation that allows you to love both your business and your life. 

In this quick but powerful episode, I'm sharing a spontaneous encounterI had with the Lord while on a walk—an encounter that sparked a question that could shift everything in your business and your life. What do you really believe about God? God whispered, "I’m better than you think I am." That one statement unraveled years of performance, striving, and fear-based thinking...and replaced it with awe, freedom, and truth. You’ll hear: How this powerful question can help you find the freedom you desire in your business.  How our belief systems shape 90% of our actions (yep—even in business). The six core beliefs we address in Heather’s programs (God, self, time, money, failure, success) and why they matter so much. What it means to align your thoughts with Kingdom truth instead of defaulting to a lie. A real-life reflection that’ll challenge and encourage you to check your beliefs at the root. This episode is short—but it’s not surface. It’s an invitation to pause and ask: If God really is better than I think He is… how would I show up differently today? Want to Go Deeper? If you’re ready to heal your relationship with God, yourself, and others—join us at the Secret Place Retreat. This is more than rest.It’s restoration.It’s clarity.It’s hearing from God again (or for the first time in a long time).And it’s coming home to who He created you to be. Space is limited.

Let’s be honest—many of us are doing all the “right” things:We’re reading our Bibles.We’re praying.We’re serving.We’re leading.And yet… we still feel disconnected from God. We wonder, Why can’t I hear Him? Why does He feel so far? Is it something I’m doing wrong? In today’s episode, we’re gently (but boldly) reframing those questions—and offering a new perspective rooted in both neuroscience and spirit-led truth. You’ll hear: Why you might not have a hearing problem—you might have a nervous system problem How trauma, stress, and high-functioning burnout impact your ability to feel safe in stillness The brain science behind why intimacy with God feels so hard when you're in survival mode Why rest and regulation are the gateways to spiritual clarity—not more religious effort How performance and pressure often mask a deep disconnection from yourself The freedom that comes when we stop hustling for God and start being with Him This conversation is for the woman who’s tired of trying harder, doing more, and still feeling like she’s missing something. You are not spiritually broken.You are just ready for a new rhythm—one of peace, presence, and partnership with the Holy Spirit.   DM “FREEDOM” on Instagram to learn more or continue the conversation:https://www.instagram.com/heathershriverburns   Join us at The Secret Place Retreat (June 26–28, 2025):  https://thesecretplaceretreat.com (only 5 spots open at the time of this recording)

Every Christian entrepreneur knows that prayer is key, but if we’re honest, many of us struggle with it. Whether it’s forgetting to pray, feeling like we don’t have time, or wrestling with unanswered prayers, we can fall into guilt and shame.

Struggling with prayer doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. You’re not alone. The enemy knows the power of prayer, which is why distractions and doubts creep in.

Even a few minutes of focused prayer can be powerful.4️⃣ Make it practical. Schedule prayer into your business day like an appointment with God.5️⃣ Listen, don’t just talk.
