“Heidi’s writing is vulnerable, open, sometimes funny, sometimes teary, always written with a clarity of purpose.”

“Heidi asks great questions and gathers all the beautiful answers and carves out space to talk about this living, parenting, making, creating thing we’re doing in such an expansive way.”

“Heidi is a force of calm and encouragement. She’s really honest about the challenges of caregiving and writing, and she provides lots of helpful tips for getting the work done anyway.”
