Published: March 6, 2024, 8 a.m.

Heidi Carlson is a Certified Master Life, Relationship, and Self-Empowerment Coach who helps women navigate complex mother-daughter dynamics.\xa0\xa0\nRaised as the youngest of five children to young immigrant parents in an arranged marriage, Heidi faced unique challenges stemming from her parents\u2019 limited life and relationship experience. Growing up in a culture that prioritized people-pleasing over self-prioritization left her without essential life skills, compounded by her parents\u2019 struggling marriage, further complicating her understanding of a healthy relationship.\xa0\xa0\nAt 19, Heidi's transformative journey began with deep self-discovery and personal growth. Heidi now embodies self-compassion, prioritizes herself, communicates effectively, and maintains boundaries. Her journey also transformed her relationship with her mother.\xa0\nOver the years, Heidi has guided countless women on similar personal growth and healing paths.\xa0She is a respected guiding force, inspiring women to take control of their lives and mend their mother-daughter relationships.\n\n\ufeffListen in to hear Heidi share:\n\nHer experience being the youngest of 5 kids, born to immigrant parents who were married at a very young by way of an arranged marriage\n\nHow her family\u2019s circumstances suppressed her identity\n\nHow her family dynamics and her trying relationship with her mom led her down a path of personal discovery\xa0\n\nThe impact of her being labeled her mom\u2019s \u201cMini Me\u201d and how that contributed to her struggles with her identity\n\nThe significance of healing mother-daughter relationships to show up differently in all areas of your life\n\nHow consistency played a big role in healing herself and her relationship with her mom\n\nWhat it feels like to shift from someone who was chronically self-sacrificial in relationships to someone who uses her voice, sets boundaries, asks for what she needs in relationships, and goes after what she wants despite other\u2019s opinions\n\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\nConnect with Heidi: heidicarlsoncoaching.com\n\n\nEmail Heidi: heidi@heidicarlsoncoaching.com\n\nHeidi on LinkedIn\n\nHeidi on FB\n\nHeidi on IG\n\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
