This week, I’m joined by Heather Thomson—trailblazing entrepreneur and former Real Housewives of New York star—for a powerful conversation about mindset, resilience, and why embracing your true self is the real secret to success, especially for women over 50. Heather opens up about how trauma shaped her journey, how faith and gratitude keep her grounded, and how a positive mindset has fueled her success. She’s real, she’s wise, and she even spills a little Housewives tea!
Whether you’re chasing a dream, reinventing yourself, or just need a reminder that it’s never too late to hollaback at life—this episode is for you.
In this episode:
- How trauma gave Heather clarity and inspired her entrepreneurial journey
- The impact of faith on Heather’s strength and perspective
- The critical role mindset plays in well-being and success
- How authenticity fuels the pursuit of your dreams
- Encouragement and inspiration for reinventing yourself after 50
- Insights on health, wellness, and aging gracefully
- Behind-the-scenes stories from The Real Housewives
Here is my favorite quote from this episode:
“We all are gonna have our time where we hit the mat. And it's never about how you go down. It's always about how you get up.” - Heather Thomson
