In this episode, I sit down with Kiki, the founder of the Heiter community and magazine. Heiter might be a new word to some, but Kiki explains its meaning and why it resonates so deeply. More than just a translation, heiter embodies a way of living—styling our lives in a way that feels good, light, and joyful.

Kiki shares the story of how Heiter came to life, the risks she’s taken, and the challenges and rewards of building both a community and a print magazine that uplifts and inspires. Our conversation has a gentle sense of nostalgia as we explore the essence of Heiter, the far-reaching connections it has fostered, and the beauty of a thoughtfully curated publication.

Producing a print magazine is no easy task, and we discuss how to stay motivated through the harder parts of the process. Kiki’s honest reflections offer both inspiration and reassurance—reminding us that sometimes, taking just one small step forward is the bravest thing we can do.

Now based in Edinburgh, Heiter has found a new home in a city that has already welcomed it with open arms. And as Kiki’s dreams for the future continue to grow, so too does the spirit of Heiter.

I hope this conversation inspires you and brings a little heiterkeit to your day.
