​Heidi’s Lane with Heidi Powell

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...

This one has been a long time coming. For 15 years, I lived inside the prison of an eating disorder that is anorexia, bulimia, food addiction, and body dysmorphia. It was loud, lonely, and exhausting. I hid it behind smiles, success, and “healthy” habits…until I couldn’t anymore. In this deeply personal episode, I open up about what recovery has really looked like, the pain, the progress, and the...

What was meant to be a five-day trip to visit my daughter for her birthday in Thailand…turned into two very unforgettable weeks in foreign hospitals when Marley had yet another unexpected medical emergency. In this episode, Ryan and I share our experiences with Marley – from having the time of our lives on a tropical island with Marley, to the dreadful night it all went downhill and the hospitals...

My daughter Marley’s first big adventure abroad—a four-month humanitarian trip in Thailand—turned into one of the scariest moments of my momming life. Every parent’s worst fear happened when she was rushed to a hospital in a small Thai town called Phitsanulok with unbearable abdominal pain. So far from home. So far from mom. In this episode, I open up about what happened, my own kidney stone journ...

❤️ Do you ever really “get over” someone you loved? Ryan is back for round two of unofficial co-host auditions, and this time, the conversation gets deeply personal. In this episode, we talk about Dave, my best friend, partner, and someone who shaped so much of my life, and what it’s been like to grieve for him while moving forward. Ryan opens up about what it’s like to love someone who has loved...

Raising teens with financial wisdom (and boundaries) is no small task. Especially when we’re trying to help our kids avoid the same disastrous mistakes we made! In this episode, I sit down with Ryan…friend, financial advisor, and father, to talk about some of the struggles (especially financial) that come with raising adult kids.  We dive into: My kids college 529 savings account: What they are, h...

In this deeply personal episode, I talk about launching my second bird into the world… my 18-year-old daughter, Marley. It was an emotional goodbye for the both of us that triggered all sorts of thoughts and feelings as a mom. Pride. Grief. Gratitude. And regret…for all the things I wish I’d done over the years before she left. In this episode, I open up about the challenges I’m encountering as I...

I'm so excited to have Dr. Radhika Sharma back with us for another deep, vulnerable, and real conversation, the kind we all need but rarely have. Dr. Sharma is an Ob/Gyn, certified wellness coach, and co-host of the Double Scrub podcast. In this episode, we go there, from vaginas and hormones to PCOS, fibroids, menopause, and all the questions we’re too scared or ashamed to ask. Nothing is off...
