We had the good fortune of connecting with Heather Harbaugh and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Heather, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Five years ago, my husband and I agreed it was time for him to leave his corporate job and fully live his life he loves in his passions and dreams. Up until this point in our marriage, I had primarily stayed at home and taught our 6 kids which I loved and thrived in. His move to quit his job awakened in me my desire to create a business where I could serve my world with my gifts. My risks in the beginning involved attending business network meetings, something I had never done before, giving presentations, marketing my skills, building a website, finding clients, joining art shows and displaying my art publicly on social media as well as painting live in church services. I invested in trainings and workshops and certifications, not “knowing” for sure if they would lead to monetary reward and “knowing” in my heart that taking these steps were important for my growth and development. With each “yes” I gave to a risk my heart was leading me to take, more and more opportunities came to me to grow and flourish in my gifts and to be of greater service in my world. Now, five years later, this previously nervous homeschool, stay-at-home mom has helped 1000’s of people reclaim their own lives, find their own peace, and trust their hearts to take their own risks to shine their light in their world.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My favorite thing about what I do is watching my clients light up when they realize they have always been connected to Love. In my experience, all of life’s challenges boil down to a belief in the illusion of separation, lack, and limitation. Every behavior and reaction that dishonors, disrespects, and devalues us or those around us is rooted in a belief or program that says we are somehow separated from Love in that moment. I love helping my clients see that they are always fully connected, supported and supplied by Love, even in moments when they haven’t yet been able to see it. Every moment we have a brand new opportunity to make a brand new choice and to experience our lives in the way we choose. Our choice to remember Love and to let our Love in and to touch all we feel with our Love is powerful and effective! I love helping my clients reclaim their power, author their own lives, and let their own light shine in their world. I have helped 1000’s of people remember their connection with Love and find their way to deeper peace, having fun for no reason, and igniting joy in everyone they meet. I have helped many transform their trauma into their treasures and their teachers and find new energy and zest for living life in their mission and co-empowering their world with their Love through one on one sessions, classes, workshops, trainings, and art. I specialize in combining essential oils, Conscious LanguageTM, and affirmations and decrees to create immediate and permanent shifts in thoughts, words, and feeling. My clients report miracles like driving again after 8 years of being afraid to drive after an accident, waking up peaceful and grounded after months of nightmares recalling a traumatic event, having a restored relationship with a child that just months before seemed like an impossibility, finding her voice after years of silencing and hiding, being energized to take inspired action after months of feeling stuck, and many more. My other love is creating intuitive prophetic art. My art most often springs from inspiration as I meditate on Scripture or other spiritual revelation. I also create pieces for clients who desire an artistic prophetic representation for them personally. I allow my heart to guide my brush and God’s Spirit in me to inspire my creations. Many people share with me that my art supports them in feeling deeper love and peace and connection with their Creator. I also love to serve and volunteer with organizations committed to empowering people to thrive. At the end of 2019, I got to travel with the Young Living Foundation to Ecuador to serve in the Chongon community. Helping people live their own Untethered Life is my life mission and I love igniting miracles in everyone I meet!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love showing my out-of-town guests my favorite spots in and around Dallas/Fort Worth. My favorite places to hang out are craft coffee shops, so I’d take my friend to experience my favorites like Savor Coffee Bar & Eatery in Arlington and White Rhino in Cedar Hill, We’d be sure to visit the Fort Worth Water Gardens and take a picnic to enjoy. We’d grab a snack and drink at nearby Sons of Liberty coffee shop and then head down to the Stockyards for a walk around and end with an evening at Billy Bob’s for line dancing and some 2-steppin’. Another day in Fort Worth is required to visit the museum district and catch the permanent collections at each of the museums. We’d plan to take a hike at Cedar Ridge Preserve and have dinner at Istanbul Grill in Arlington, visit Downtown Carrollton and my favorite rock shop Nature’s Gallery, and enjoy the patio and live music at Stevens in Mansfield, I’d take them to Downtown Dallas to Clyde Warren Park and we’d plan to sample the food from the food trucks after visiting the museum and walking around downtown to see the sites.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My heart is filled with gratitude for my husband Lee and our children, my parents, my business coach Janet Bernstein, my mentors Robert Tennyson Stevens and Dr. Benjamin Perkus, and my collab partner Martha Kreijci for all of the ways they have encouraged me in my growth and given me opportunities to shine my light into my world.
