    What Is Enough? – Heather Stewart
    Dec 24 2025
    Illuminate Your Worth with Heather Stewart In a season wrapped in glitter and expectation, this episode invites you into something deeper: the quiet knowing that you are already enough. Advertising tells us otherwise. Social media whispers it louder. The endless treadmill of likes, money, status, and approval keeps so many of us running toward a finish line that never seems to come. But what if the striving is the very thing that clouds our worth? What if enough isn't something you chase, but something you remember? This Christmas Eve, I’m not here to give you another thing to do. I’m here to help you pause. To let go of “more” and come home to what already is. In this episode: Why “more” is the modern lie that keeps us stuck. The real reason external validation feels addictive, and hollow. How to notice when you're on the “treadmill of not-enoughness”. A gentle invitation to feel your inherent worth, right here, right now. Let this episode be your invitation to unplug from the noise, reconnect to your core, and remember: You were never meant to earn your worth. You are the gift.

  • Trauma Versus Traumatized – Heather Stewart

    Trauma Versus Traumatized – Heather Stewart
    Dec 17 2025
    Illuminate Your Worth with Heather Stewart "This one might make you squirm a little... and that's the point." We’re talking about something that’s going to ruffle feathers today, but maybe, just maybe, that’s what’s needed. In this episode, I’m pulling the thread on what it really means to be in trauma… versus being uncomfortable. You’ve likely heard the term “trauma-informed” tossed around like confetti, but is it helping or hurting us? Is the way we’re labeling discomfort as trauma actually stunting our growth? Here’s what we dive into: Why trauma is real, but “feeling triggered” doesn’t always mean you’re traumatized. How we might be using trauma language to avoid discomfort… and growth. Why your resilience matters more than your sensitivity. How emotional maturity plays a role in your evolution. A new lens for uncomfortable experiences: what if they’re your curriculum? This episode is not a dismissal of real pain my friend, it’s an invitation. An invitation to stop self-canceling every time life gets tough and to start seeing uncomfortable moments as powerful teachers. Because the goal isn’t to avoid discomfort. The goal is to alchemize it. And yes (apologies in advance) this one might sting. It’s not wrapped in soft blankets or comfort-culture language. It’s real and meant to move you forward (as lovingly as my tough love self can) Ready to listen? Bring your curiosity and your courage! If this episode lands with you: Send it to the friend who’s tired of feeling stuck Share it on stories & tag me... let’s normalize growth that doesn’t feel good at first Find Your Value: A Collection of Stories and Strategies on Finding Yourself Through Your Values Co-Author Heather Stewart Amazon.com – https://www.amazon.com/dp/0991925246 Amazon.ca – https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0991925246 ~ More About Illuminate Your Worth with Heather Stewart ~ Meet Your Host – Heather Stewart Transformation Guide.

  • Create Your Village – Heather Stewart

    Create Your Village – Heather Stewart
    Dec 10 2025
    Illuminate Your Worth with Heather Stewart In a world where millions may pass by unnoticed, how do we reclaim connection, belonging, and the fabric of true community? This episode dives into what it really means to create your village... even in the wilderness of a bustling city. Drawing from a deeply personal journey - from walking the close-knit villages of the UK to navigating anonymity in a city of 3 million...this episode offers a reflective yet practical guide to becoming both seeker and builder of meaningful connection. You’ll hear: A story of a village rallying for one of their own (and what it awakened for me). The shift from “surviving the city” to thriving in your own created village. The power of slowing down and becoming visible to others. Why loneliness isn’t always about who’s missing but about what’s missing. WHY THIS MATTERS (especially now!) This episode isn't just about finding your people - it's about becoming the kind of person that others can find. We explore how community isn't always found... sometimes it's built. WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH A fresh perspective on loneliness vs. intentional solitude A deeper understanding of how to design your own village, no matter your environment A calling to become more seen, more connected, and more vital to your corner of the world. After listening, take a moment to reflect: 🪞 Who are the people you already know that could be part of your village... if you let them in? 🧭 What kind of connection are you craving that you could actually create, instead of wait for? And if this episode resonates, share it with someone who might be building their own village too!

  • Alone Versus Lonely – Heather Stewart

    Alone Versus Lonely – Heather Stewart
    Dec 3 2025
    Illuminate Your Worth with Heather Stewart The Power of Solitude in a Connected World. The holidays can amplify feelings of loneliness for many, especially in a world that often mistakes solitude for isolation. In this episode, I share personal reflections and stories from a solo two-week walk in the Cotswolds and a look ahead to an upcoming silent retreat where I'll be off the grid, no tech, no talking, just being. What I have discovered so far is this: being alone doesn’t have to mean being lonely. In fact, solitude can be one of the richest places of personal connection and clarity once we know how to be with ourselves. Let’s talk about the difference between loneliness (disconnection from others) and being alone (deep connection to self), and why understanding this difference might just change how you experience this season (and yourself). In This Episode: Why solitude is not the enemy and might actually be your greatest ally. What my two-week solo walk through the English countryside taught me about connection. How loneliness isn’t about physical absence, but emotional disconnection. How to reconnect to yourself during seasons of quiet or transition. This episode is for you if: You’re feeling more alone than usual this season and wondering what it means. You crave solitude but worry it’s “too much” or misunderstood. You’re navigating a personal transition or quiet chapter and want to find meaning in the stillness. You want to deepen your connection with yourself before reaching for connection with others.

  • Is It happening To You, Or For You? – Heather Stewart

    Is It happening To You, Or For You? – Heather Stewart
    Nov 26 2025
    Illuminate Your Worth with Heather Stewart This is not about silver linings. This is about soul lessons. In this episode, Heather shares her personal experiences with life’s unexpected interruptions... a sudden stroke, a broken wrist on vacation, and other “bumps in the road”... and how they became sacred invitations for pause, reflection, and growth. Rather than rushing to reframe or "fix" what happened, she allowed space for the meaning to rise over time. Because sometimes, it's not about bouncing back, it's about expanding forward. From the depth of her wisdom and the emotional clarity, Heather offers a perspective that’s both gentle and galvanizing: 💡 What feels like a breakdown might actually be your breakthrough. 💡 Your emotional waves are not chaos, they’re clues. 💡 You don’t have to find the lesson right away. You just have to listen. This episode is your reminder that: Life isn’t punishing you. It’s partnering with you. The voice you find on the other side of challenge might be the most honest one you’ve ever heard. If this conversation opened something in you… share it with someone in your inner circle. That one person who would get it. The right message always finds the right ears, especially when it travels heart to heart.

    What Story Are You Telling? – Heather Stewart
    Nov 5 2025
    Illuminate Your Worth with Heather Stewart You Are All the Stories You Tell About Yourself If you want something different… rewrite the script. This is not a conversation about mindset. This is a check in with your identity. We’re diving into the invisible narratives that shape how you show up, what you allow, and what you believe is possible... not just in your life, but in your business, your leadership, and your voice. Because here’s the truth: You are all the stories you keep telling about yourself. And if you're ready for something different, it's time to tell a different story. We're going to talk about how to recognize when you’ve outgrown your story and how to release it, the subtle difference between speaking from your story vs. being trapped in it and what becomes possible when you start leading from your future identity. This episode is for you if... - you're done shape-shifting and you're ready to come back to yourself - you're ready to be seen for who you actually are and not who you had to become to be accepted - you're craving realignment in how you speak and show up in life If you’re ready to go deeper: This is the kind of work I do inside my private coaching container. I help women: Unearth the story they've been living by Recode their voice and identity around their next chapter Build a life that aligns with who they truly are, not who they had to be to survive If you're feeling the call, let's talk.
