EFR 095: Parenting Without Sacrificing the Self with Heather Chauvin

After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and having three boys at home, Heather Chauvin quickly rose to the occasion and chose to build the life she wanted. Facing death was a revelation, to say the least. It forced her to ask, "Why am I fighting so hard to live when I don't even know how to live?" Life had to mean more than just barely surviving, living paycheck to paycheck, and believing existence meant taking up space.  Heather Chauvin, BSW has been named the next generation's thought leader in parenting and women's leadership. Her mission is to crack women open to their deep potential and help them create the life their soul craves. Heather hosts the Mom Is In Control Podcast, and has been featured on the OWN network, Huffington Post, TV outlets and others. With wit and wisdom, Heather inspires a global community of women to take back control of their lives and evolve how they lead, work, play, and parent.
