Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebecca Heidt.
Hi Rebecca, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
It’s always hard to say when or how I started, or when the spark happened. Writing, art, imagination, music, acting, it just is. If you weren’t a child making up fake songs with a chorus line of two words with your imaginary friend I feel like you missed out, really. But in all seriousness, what I love to do always existed. The art, writing and more was always there, I can’t remember a time it wasn’t. Getting to where I am today, now THAT is the real work. It’s the listening and believing in myself (or yourself) enough to follow the start of that joy and love. I can name you different periods in my life, middle school, high school, 20 to 30’s, where there were opposing thoughts of what I wanted vs what I thought was expected. How I got here today was by accepting my love/passion, nurturing it, growing it, and being okay that I can be successful and fierce in those areas while making mistakes.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I’ve never met anything that’s a smooth road, ever, ha. I find it amusing because I tend to say “I hope this goes smoothly” which is a different way of saying “I hope this next part is easier”. My years and very interesting life experiences have taught me that if it’s “easy”, it’s boring. The joy’s in life, for me, come from the light bulb moments, the advocating for what I love/believe in, the looking back at the rock climbing wall I just scaled to get to this moment of success. I hope nothing is a smooth road for me. My ADHD mentality would immediately lose interest and start a new career. The rockiness makes up life.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’ve worn lots of different hats in my professional life and career, it depends on who you speak to. I’m known for training skills in restaurants, my ability to get tasks done to the finish line, self-motivation, problem solving unforeseen issues that haven’t happened yet, I could go on. Most recently, I’m known for my self-published LGBTQ Fantasy book series “Acceptance” and being in the process of transforming it into a 5 film franchise starting with “Secrets of the Warrior”. Along with the LGBTQ short film projects I’m starting. I get to have conversations with different countries and a some amazing talent and actors.
I’m proud that the book series exists, the ten awards I won, that I didn’t abandon any of the stories mid way through from anger allowing me to release a book every year. Those are all well and good, I’ll praise every author I meet because I get it. What I’m MOST proud of is when I was in a bad place I transformed the extremely heavy thinking/energy into something that helped me grow to make it to the other side. My stories are pieces of my heart break, mental break downs, traumas shared in a raw authentic way that I can heal from it and help people find a solace of similarity.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
My motto is keep moving forward and there’s always a way. The most important quality to my success is understanding that it’s not going to be a perfect travel through whatever I’m working on. It’s accepting the emotions surrounding less grace towards myself. I allow it 5-10 mins to be by yelling or walking or switching projects, then I take a breath and think outside the problem. There’s always a way to make something work, I just need to give my brain the space to be angry and grief that it wasn’t what I thought was going to happen.
