Heather is also an author and a full-time motivational speaker. Her book, Redefining Realistic, which will be launching this December, is not only about exploring possibilities, but also believing in them.

She shares what she means by “arousal level,” how you can manage it to reach your full potential, and why perspective is the key to discover what you are capable of doing.
