How two women who could not be more different found the same truth, and why they wrote Heart Frequency for every woman holding it all.
Polar Opposites, One Passion
How can two people be so different and still come together to create something that changes lives? I ask myself that often when I think about Adrea and me.
We met about a decade ago, and on paper, we made no sense. We were polar opposites. We shared a deep passion for story, but we came at it from completely different directions. I have always been drawn to the humanity of story: the people, the heartbreak, the courage, and the meaning we make when life cracks us open. Adrea has always been drawn to the science of it: the quantum physics, the biology, and how everything moves, interacts, and molds itself into something new. Where I would ask how a moment felt, Adrea would ask what was happening in the body while it did.
Our connection grew over the years. There were seasons when life pulled us in different directions and we didn’t connect for a while. But every time we found our way back to each other, the reconnection felt completely natural, and it was always filled with love and admiration.
There’s a beautiful piece of science in our book that explains this better than I ever could. Scientists have watched single heart cells in a dish pulse erratically on their own. Then, once one touches another, they begin to beat together, perfectly in time, as though they’d been waiting for company to show up. Rhythm isn’t learned. It’s remembered. And connection makes it stronger.
That’s Adrea and me.
The Sparks That Shaped Us
Neither of us arrived at Heart Frequency through theory. We arrived through life.
Adrea’s turning point began with four simple words: “We need to talk.” A relationship was ending, and her body knew before the conversation was even over. The tight chest. The quickening pulse. The shallow breath. She unraveled for a while, as any of us would. Then she began to refine. That heartbreak showed her the patterns she’d built to protect herself, the sharp edges, the protective wit, and the habit of denying her own needs. It gave her the chance to grow a softness that never cost her strength.
Mine began at a boarding gate. I was 35 weeks pregnant, with two children beside me and a one-way ticket to Australia in my hand. My mind ran every scenario. What if this is a mistake? What if I’ve miscalculated? But underneath all that noise, something steadier held. My heart knew. That decision rebuilt my entire life.
On the surface, those were a breakup and a relocation. In reality, sparks were flying everywhere. When Adrea and I laid our stories side by side, we saw the same pattern: the moment of disruption, the fear, and the quiet inner knowing that carried us through. I saw the human story. Adrea saw the biology underneath it. Together, we finally saw the whole picture.
Why We Wrote This Book
We wrote Heart Frequency because we kept meeting people and especially women like you who were doing everything right and still feeling disconnected from themselves. Women running businesses, raising families, showing up for everyone, and quietly running on empty.
Maybe that’s you. It’s 6:40 a.m. You’ve already answered three emails, signed a permission slip, and found the missing left shoe. There’s a client call at nine and school pickup at three. You’re doing all of it, and yet there’s an ache under your ribs that no to-do list ever seems to touch.
As we wrote together, something remarkable happened. More and more love just kept pouring in. The book became proof of its own message: when two hearts as different as ours fall into rhythm, something extraordinary is created. We want that for you, in your business, your family, and your life.
So let me share what Heart Frequency is, and how you can begin living it today.
What Is Heart Frequency?
Heart Frequency is what you hold inside and what you radiate out. It’s the way you express what love is to you: what you love, what matters to you, and what lights you up. And here’s the part I most want you to hear. There is nothing wrong with you. You don’t need another ritual, another coach, or another twelve-week program to find it. You already have everything you need inside you. You simply need to rediscover it.
Your heart is far more than a pump. It sends more information up to your brain than your brain sends down, and through the vagus nerve, those signals shape how you perceive, decide, and react. Scientists measure this conversation through heart rate variability, the tiny changes in timing between beats. Healthy variability reflects resilience. Low variability is linked to burnout.
When your heart rhythm is chaotic, your brain reads threat faster. Your world narrows. You brace, defend, perform, and exhaust yourself trying to control every outcome. Sound familiar, mama? When your rhythm is coherent, your perception widens. You see more options. You respond rather than react. You create instead of cope.
The state of your heart shapes the story your mind is able to tell.
This is what we mean by leading from your heartset first and letting your mindset enhance it. Your heart sets the direction. Your mind plans it, applies it, and takes the action. Your outside world is a reflection of your inside world, so when you change the rhythm within, the results show up everywhere else: in your business, your bank account, your body, and around your kitchen table.
Micro, Meso, Macro: Your Life From the Inside Out
In the book, we walk you through three levels of being. When something knocks you off balance, ask yourself where it’s really happening.
- Micro is your relationship with yourself: your nervous system, your body, and your inner narrative.
- Meso is your relationship with others: your partner, your children, your team, and your clients.
- Macro is your relationship with the world: your community, all of humanity, and for many of us, God and love itself.
For business moms, this is gold, because so much of our overwhelm comes from blending the levels together. A short reply from a client lands in your body (micro). You snap at the kids over dinner (meso). By bedtime, you’re convinced the whole industry is against you (macro). When you can name the level, you stop collapsing into “something is wrong with me” and start asking a far better question: where am I in the pattern, and what is this asking of me?
We apply these levels across the arenas where your life actually happens: Body, Wealth, Relationships, and Living. And we share the rhythm that every transformation follows. We call it the Heart Frequency Steps.
- Spark. The jolt that says something must change. A diagnosis, a resignation, a brand-new idea at 2 a.m.
- Ache. The grief of letting go of who you were, even when who you’re becoming is better.
- Arrow. The clear knowing that you can’t go back. It doesn’t hand you the whole map. It simply points.
- Friction. The pull of old habits whispering, “Maybe I’ll just go back.” That resistance is your brain rewiring, not failing.
- Break Wide Open. The moment you see the truth so clearly that there’s no denial left in you.
- Commitment. Thousands of small choices: presence over panic and trust over fear, again and again.
- Resonance. When the new way becomes your natural way, and life starts to feel like music.
Four Ways to Activate Your Heart Frequency This Week
Activation isn’t about adding more to your to-do list. I promise you that. It’s about tuning in rather than doing more. These practices come straight from the book, and each one fits between a board meeting and bath time.
1. The Three-Breath Reset
Before you open your inbox, sit for a moment. Place one hand on your heart and one on your low belly. Breathe in through your nose for a count of four, hold gently for two, and exhale through your mouth for six. Do this three times. Your only job is to let your system know, “I am safe in this moment.”
Then whisper, “Today, I allow support in the form of…” and fill it in with what’s true, not what sounds impressive. Clarity. Rest. Help. A yes from the right person. Time to think. Scarcity and panic put us in survival mode, and survival makes us undercharge, overwork, and betray our own boundaries. A regulated nervous system makes higher-value decisions.
2. One Wealth-Aligned Micro-Action
Choose one. Not ten. One. “Today I’ll say no to one thing that’s misaligned.” “Today I’ll send the invoice I’ve been avoiding.” “Today I’ll raise my rate for one client.” “Today I’ll check my spending without shame.” Name it, write it down, and don’t negotiate with it later.
Then add a statement of value that has nothing to do with output: “My rest has economic power.” “I’m allowed to earn in ways that don’t deplete me.” Your nervous system needs to hear money and self-respect in the same sentence. So many of us have never once said that out loud. Let’s make it normal.
3. Stay in Yourself
Once today, in one ordinary moment, practice staying. A tense meeting. A tricky text. A toddler meltdown at the kitchen sink. When you feel yourself bracing or shrinking, pause and quietly ask, “How do I feel?” Name it silently: tight, scared, tender, angry, proud. Accurately naming what you feel helps the alarm centers of your brain settle.
Then make one micro-adjustment. A slower breath. Softer shoulders. The words “Give me a second.” You’re not trying to win. You’re practicing not abandoning yourself in connection. And our children are watching us learn this. When we stay with ourselves, we teach them that they can too.
4. Change the Channel
Ask yourself: what genre has my nervous system been living in lately? A courtroom drama where everything must be defended? A survival show where only the strong endure? A sports documentary where rest feels like weakness? Your brain is a prediction engine. It builds its model of the world from repetition and calibrates your body to match. Once you see the genre you’ve been living in, you get to choose a new one.
Come Home to Your Heart
Here’s what I know after a lifetime of building businesses, raising children, and writing books. The women who change the world aren’t the ones who never feel fear. They’re the ones who’ve learned to let their hearts befriend their minds. Coherence doesn’t mean the absence of fear. It means the presence of regulation alongside it.
You don’t have to choose between being a powerful businesswoman and a present mother. You don’t have to keep ticking boxes and living someone else’s version of success. Find what lights you up, and light it brighter and brighter. Do it your way. When you pour love into what you do, you experience life at a higher vibration, and you become magnetic to the people, opportunities, and abundance that are meant for you.
Your heart isn’t waiting to be connected. It’s waiting to be trusted.
