Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Heather Nardi. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Heather, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

Taking a risk can be a daunting yet essential aspect of personal and professional growth. It often involves stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing the unknown. While risks can lead to challenges and failures, they can also result in significant rewards, new opportunities, and valuable learning experiences.

In my journey, I took the risk of pivoting from mainstream medicine to a holistic approach for my daughter’s mental healthcare. This risk involved venturing into unfamiliar territory, questioning conventional wisdom, and trusting my intuition. The outcome, however, was transformative for my daughter’s well-being and catalyzed the creation of my business, Empath Mama.

When considering taking a risk, weighing the potential benefits and drawbacks, gathering information, and seeking advice from trusted sources is essential. It’s also important to trust your instincts and be prepared to learn and adapt as you navigate the challenges that may arise.

Taking risks can lead to personal growth, new opportunities, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and our capabilities. As we embrace risks and learn from our experiences, we can continue to evolve and thrive personally and professionally.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

Building a reputation within my market has been mainly due to my commitment to authenticity and sharing my personal experiences. By openly discussing my journey as a sensitive mom raising a sensitive child, I have connected with others who face similar challenges and resonated with my story. This genuine connection has helped establish trust and credibility among my audience.

A key aspect of my approach is embracing and sharing my unique experiences rather than trying to fit into the mold of others in the industry. This authenticity sets me apart and allows me to provide a fresh perspective and tailored support for sensitive moms. By staying true to myself and my experiences, I have created a strong bond with my audience and established a distinct identity within the market.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

There was a pivotal moment in my life when I had to make a significant change for the well-being of my family. My daughter, now 23 years old, was diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses beginning at the age of 8. At 14, she spent time in a residential treatment facility, and despite the care she received, I didn’t see her life improving as I had hoped. Intuitively, I felt that there needed to be a change in her care.

Over time, we decided to pivot from mainstream medicine to a holistic approach. This shift was not easy, but it was a necessary step in our journey toward a healthier life for my daughter. As we embraced this new path, I began to understand that my daughter and I are highly sensitive. This realization opened my eyes to the unique challenges and gifts that come with heightened sensitivity, ultimately leading to the birth of Empath Mama.

This pivotal moment in my life transformed my daughter’s well-being and ignited my passion for supporting and empowering sensitive moms and their families. By sharing our story and the lessons we’ve learned, I hope to inspire others to embrace their unique gifts and overcome the challenges they face as sensitive individuals.
