🎙️ The Magic Live Podcast: A Candid Conversation with Heidi
Welcome to a powerful new episode of the Magic Live Podcast. In this episode, I sit down with Heidi—a vibrant, determined young woman on a journey of recovery, growth, and self-discovery.
This is a follow-up to a previous attempt at recording, which was interrupted by some noisy building work. Fortunately, Heidi was generous enough to sit down again and share her deeply personal story.
From experiencing bullying in her early school years, to facing mental health crises following the death of her grandmother, Heidi opens up about her struggles, triumphs, and her incredible goals—including walking 19 miles for charity and even auditioning for Britain’s Got Talent.
This episode is raw, real, and uplifting. Heidi’s honesty, courage, and humour will stick with you long after listening.
