​Heidi’s Lane with Heidi Powell

100 episodes of Heidi’s Lane! And here I am, sitting on my bed, completely jet-lagged, emotionally exhausted, and fresh off a two-week trip to Japan with all four of my kids, Ryan, and his daughter. You guys, I have SO much to unpack. 😂 I spent YEARS dreaming about and planning this trip. The hotels, the experiences, the money, the pressure to make every moment unforgettable, it was A LOT. And wh...

Okay, you guys. This is my third take today. I've had some really full days, I'm recording this in workout clothes an hour before a dinner I still have to shower for, and my brain is doing the thing where it doesn't finish sentences. Which is honestly the perfect way to record an episode about estrogen. 😂   Happy 99th episode of Heidi's Lane, by the way. Almost three years of this...

I woke up with my heart racing. Later, I had a panic attack on a flight. And I kept asking myself: Is this stress? Is this perimenopause? Or is it both? Ryan and I sit down for a very real (and very Heidi’s Lane) conversation about that question—and about a hormone I think deserves more attention: progesterone . I share what I’ve been learning about ovulation, why progesterone can change during pe...

Okay so this was not planned! haha Ruby and I are in the car after Starbucks… I've got a stack your guys’ IG questions printed out, and she just decides she's going to be my podcast co-host now. 😂 Then she does the intro. Knows EXACTLY where the cameras are. Tells me to blur out one part so I can use it as a hook for the reels. Asks if we should redo the take. And at one point looks at me...

It is midnight. Ryan and I are sitting in his living room trying to record a podcast while doing my press-on nails. I have magnesium kicking in, and neither of us can stay on one subject for more than five minutes. 😂 We talk about Matix being home and something nobody really prepares you for: what happens when your adult child comes back home after being gone for two years!! I thought it would ju...

It is 4 p.m. on a Saturday. I leave for the airport in two hours. My son has been gone for two years. And Ryan and I are sitting in the car with a mic between us because apparently this is what my podcast has been reduced to — and I could not care less. This is a real-time life update, recorded in the window where I know everything is about to change and I don’t know how. I haven’t figured out the...

This week’s episode was supposed to be a deeper dive into perimenopause, but as I started talking, the conversation went somewhere completely different. And honestly, I think it went exactly where it needed to go. I open up about some very personal parts of my health journey, including living with HPV, abnormal pap smears, precancerous cervical cells, and a recent conversation with my doctor about...

If you're a woman in your late 30s, 40s, or early 50s and you've been feeling exhausted, foggy, anxious, or like a complete stranger in your own body… I need you to hear me right now. You are not broken. You are not going crazy. And you are definitely not "just getting old." Welcome to the era of metabolic intelligence! Today we are kicking off a two-part series that I genuinely...

When Ryan and I posted about doing a 2-day couples therapy intensive, people literally started praying for us. 😂 And I get it. But here's the thing: We weren't falling apart. We went because we were ready to go deeper. And what happened in that room over those two days? It cracked us both wide open in ways I did not see coming. We sat with a therapist named Dave (the Universe keeps bringi...

Yup… we’re doing it. In 2021 I sat across the table From Lewis Howes and his beautiful now-wife, Maria, listening to them gush over their then-new relationship… and how from Day One, therapy was a non-negotiable. Both individually and as a couple, they committed to working on themselves to give such a special union the best chance possible. I’ve never forgotten that. Fast forward to one year ago w...

This week, I found myself reflecting on the woman I used to be and the woman I'm still becoming. After looking back through photos from the last year and a half, I realized I've slowly let go of some of the habits that help me feel my best. As life gets busier with work, motherhood, friendships, and relationships, I've been asking myself an important question: how do we create space fo...

I've been wanting to introduce you to these two for a while now. Chelsea and Emily are two of my favorite people on the planet. They're funny, they're real, they're the kind of women who walk into a room and make everyone feel like they belong. And the moment I started getting to know them, I felt like I'd known them my entire life. But what brought us here — to this couch, to...

The REST of the story you’ve all been waiting for…and the one we’ve been waiting to tell!!🥰 Oh to be young(ish) and in love. One year into this relationship, and it’s only gotten better. It’s only gotten safer. It’s only felt deeper. I honestly don’t even know how to explain this episode. What started as part two of the story of how Ryan and I met somehow turned into one of the rawest conversatio...

I have been holding this one close for a long time. You've been asking. Every week, in my DMs, in the comments, in voice memos from strangers who somehow feel like old friends, what's the story? How did you two actually meet? Well…Today is the day. This is Part 1 of how Ryan and I found each other, and I'll warn you, we don't even make it to the first date. Because when two people who have lived a...

This episode started as a simple Q&A, but it turned into something a little more real. We talk about workouts, macros, and what actually works as our bodies change through different seasons of life, especially for women navigating their 40s, 50s, and beyond. But underneath all of that, this conversation is really about something else. Momentum. I share why so many of us feel stuck even when we...

I am nervous posting this podcast…as this was not the episode I planned to release. We spend our lives trying to stay put together and neat. Keeping our hurt hidden and our smiles big. This podcast shows a very different side of me. A side of Heidi that has real insecurities that run deep. A side of Heidi that feels pain and actually does care what others think about her even when she says she doe...

This episode is a real look at what’s different about me now... and why this next season of life, business, coaching, and creating feels nothing like the last one. I share how trauma, people-pleasing, and desperation fueled so much of what I built before... and how peace, rootedness, and trust are changing everything now. We talk about identity, money, mindset, masks, weirdness, creation, and the...

If you still pee when you sneeze (hello, me!)...if sex isn’t the same as it used to be…or if your hips, core, and really entire body doesn’t feel like it used to… This conversation is for you. Today I’m chatting with my friend Jana Danielson, movement specialist and creator of the Cooch Ball (yes, I said “cooch” and we’re going there!) to dive into these hard to talk about issues. And you guys… th...

Okay ladies… this episode is for every woman who has looked in the mirror and thought: “What is happening to my body?” The weight that won’t budge. The belly fat you’ve never had before. The exhaustion doesn’t match your effort. The cravings, anxiety, bloating, low libido, and inflammation. Doing everything “right” — and nothing works. And then the quiet thought: Is this just aging… or is somethin...

Last night, I scrolled all the way back to 2016. Not to reminisce. Not to brag. Not to cringe. But to meet her. The woman who was strong, visible, admired, and constantly performing. The woman who finally felt desirable. The woman who thought perfection would make her safe. The woman who had no idea what was coming. This episode began as a light conversation about the “2016 is the new 2026” Instag...

This conversation isn’t really about rules. It’s about the moments we don’t look … because looking would require us to choose. In Part 2 of this opening 2026 conversation, I’m back with my best friend, Keira Brinton, and we talk about what happens when awareness replaces avoidance — in love, money, faith, intimacy, and self-trust. This episode is raw. It’s quiet in places. It’s honest in ways that...

It’s the first episode of 2026, and we’re flipping New Year’s resolutions on their head. I’m joined by my best friend (and the woman who helped bring this podcast to life), Keira Brinton, on the pod today, where we talk about WHY January pressures set so many of us up to fail!! In this conversation, Keira and I talk about how to start this year in a way that actually matches real life, real energy...

In this special holiday episode of Heidi's Lane, we are joined by two very special people in my life: Lauri, my mother and Matix, my oldest son! Today we dive into the intimate world of family traditions and the poignant dance with grief during the holidays. My mom and I reminisce about cherished memories, like our lively Polish Christmas Eves and my dad's signature German chocolate cake....

This week, we’re continuing the conversation about eating disorders, but this time, with a professional who has spent nearly two decades treating eating disorders. After my solo episode (ep. 75) sharing my 15-year battle with anorexia, bulimia, food addiction, and body dysmorphia, you sent in hundreds of questions…and I saved all of them for this conversation. Today, I’m joined by Dr. Morgan Franc...

This one feels extra close to home. As Thanksgiving rolls in, Ryan and I cozy up to talk about dating after divorce, the quiet that follows shared holidays, and what it’s really like to rebuild love in your 40s. From last year’s lonely Thanksgiving to navigating real-life quirks, triggers, blended-family chaos, and leaving the honeymoon phase behind, we go there. Honestly, it’s some of our most re...
