Biography/Memoir

Radio and TV personality, Heidi was always the girl who wore a cardigan in summer to cover her arms, and board-shorts to the beach on the rare occasion she dared to go. She knows what it’s like to feel alone, deal with debilitating anxiety daily and constantly try to please people. Pretending to be okay on the outside, while inside suffering crushing insecurities.   After breaking down on live radio to 300 thousand listeners and making the nerve-racking confession,   “I wish I could sit here and tell you that I love myself because that’s what people expect me to say, but I can’t. I absolutely hate my body…”,   she experienced a life-changing moment.   Her gut-wrenching admission forced her to embrace her vulnerabilities, challenge her old beliefs and learn how to say a big fat ‘’Fuck You” to unrealistic beauty standards, and a big ‘’Up Yours’’ to all diets and society’s expectations. Heidi has spent the last 11 years trying a million different things and learning to say NO to all the stupid lies she told herself.   In her cheeky memoir Heidi will show you how she dealt with her inner mean girls who told her she wasn’t skinny enough, good enough or simply that other people mattered more than she did and inspire you to STOP worrying what other people think and take your power back!   Today you’ll find Heidi in her red bikini or walking through shopping centres in her bra and undies empowering women to love themselves just as they are.
