In this episode, I’m joined by Sara Marshall, a Calgary-based marketing expert (and fave friend/client of mine). Sara is a creative strategist who’s passionate about helping small businesses stand out in a crowded market. Sara has mastered the art of strategic storytelling, content creation, and digital engagement — and she knows exactly what makes audiences connect and convert.
We dive into her journey in marketing, the secrets behind creating social media strategies that actually work, and her best tips for business owners who want to grow their online presence without burning out.
When she’s not helping brands shine, you’ll find Sara traveling to new places, breaking a sweat at The Sweat Lab or Pvolve, singing her heart out at concerts, or spending time with her four-legged bestie, Nora.
If you’re ready to take your brand storytelling to the next level, this conversation is packed with insight, inspiration, and plenty of real-talk advice.

I talk about the pressure women feel to push through pain, the way we often dismiss our symptoms, and how the healthcare system still overlooks women’s health concerns

Welcome back to The Honour with Heather Podcast
In this episode, we’re diving into the comparison trap — that sneaky little mindset that makes you feel like you’re falling behind while everyone else seems to be thriving. Social media, especially Instagram, has a way of amplifying this, showing us curated highlights that can leave us feeling inadequate. But here’s the truth: Comparison kills joy, creativity, and progress.
My pal Ashley Rose and I will share personal experiences, practical mindset shifts, and strategies to help you stay in your own lane, celebrate your progress, and use social media in a way that inspires rather than drains you.

In today's episode we are getting a little woo woo in honour of Halloween! I'm going to get a little personal and share one of my biggest life goals.
Do you ever feel like life is trying to tell you something?
At the end of 2023, I was 34 – broke, divorced, just opened a brand new business, and sleeping on my parents couch. Not anywhere near close to the glamorous life I was portraying online, or the one that I so desperately wanted. On the outside I seemed successful, crushing goals, and not letting anyone or anything stop me. But on the inside I was crumbling, stuck, and lost.
I began this year by committing to two major changes in my life. One, a daily journaling practice, and Two, within that daily journaling practice to write 3 things that I was grateful for each day. Despite the pressure, the suffering, the struggle, I could always find at least 3 things daily that I could find gratitude in, and the writing worked as a cathartic release for me.
So here I am, I have started to make some new habits for myself. Rebuilding the city if you will. I have decided to start making intentional time out of my week every week to write. I’ll keep you updated on my journey.
Did this episode resonate with you?
What has life been nudging you to do? Have you been listening to it, or suppressing it?
If you are wanting to get started on your own pen to paper journey, I have a fantastic resource for you. I have created a series of custom made journals to help you with a gratitude practice, business, and manifestation. You can find them over on my snipfeed page snipfeed.co/honoureducation
