6 - How a public school teacher's yearlong sabbatical forged a new path to align with her inner truth, with Heidi Stark

After earning her degree in education, Heidi spent years teaching in the public school system. But while she was living out the only career she thought she ever wanted, an internal struggle was brewing deep inside to leave her chosen career. Learn how Heidi was able to overcome her fears and forge her own path that is aligned with her truth and passion.
