On this final episode in Season One of “The Shine Strategy” podcast, it’s just you and me!I decided to take this time to bookend our season with a solo episode, so we could look back at what we did with the show and how it's helping our listeners. We discovered and absorbed so much this year—powerful ideas from our guests, the ins-and-outs of podcasting, and how to continue to evolve as spiritual beings having a human experience. I’mso excited to come back next year with many lessons learned. Isn’t that one of the secrets to life? Live and learn... In looking back, it’s a complete honor and humbling experience to look at who actually showed up for the show. And I have to share that this is also the magic of PR and what I do. Being able to ask the right people for what you want and enroll them in your vision for the desired outcome—well, that’s a big part of it. So many of my high profile guests told me, “I don’t normally do this…” And then they agreed to be interviewed by someone they didn’t really know—for a brand new podcast with no stats or track record. A little PR magic? I’d say so... In this episode, I break down what public relations is and share more about how it actually works and can specifically apply to you. It’s such a mystery for so many people, and I recently realized that even my mom still doesn’t understand what I do after all these years. So, I get a little deeper into the nuts and bolts in this episode and share how it has helped not only my clients, students and members, but also my own business. My intention was to bring you, my listener, inspirational stories and strategies from leading visionaries who are out there making the world a better place by using their high profile platforms for good. And, also to make sure that you know that you can do it too!Guys...I think we did it!Thanks so much for listening, and I’ll see you in 2020. With much love, your shine strategist, Heather B.

On this episode of “The Shine Strategy,” I’m thrilled to introduce the brilliant Ron Malhotra—an award-winning financial advisor, international speaker, advanced mindset and success coach, and bestselling author. In fact, Jack Canfield, who is considered America’s #1 success coach, says that Ron will “help you get to the next level of success.” Ron's views are featured regularly in the media, including ABC, Financial Review, CNN, Money Magazine, Financial Observer, Investing Daily, Fox News and Wallstreet Select.

Often, people want to make an impact on the world but feel they have to reject having money in order to stay true to their mission. Many people also think they can’t enjoy the material pleasures of life and be spiritual at the same time. Ron is passionate about showing others that it is possible to have it all—success, money, purpose, and also, to lead with your heart.

On this episode of “The Shine Strategy,” I’m joined by lively celebrity chef, Alina Z, who was born in Russia to a poor family that started homeless—and then experienced a true rags to riches story. By following her father’s entrepreneurial spirit, they ended up becoming one of the wealthiest families in Russia, and Alina suddenly found herself surrounded by bodyguards and traveling in helicopters. But Alina craved a different life and wanted to make it on her own, so she left Russia at the age of 15 to pursue the American Dream. Around that time, Alina’s family also lost everything, so she had no choice but to succeed on her own terms. When Alina moved to the U.S., she took the wisdom from her family’s journey and applied it to her new life. Ultimately, she found happiness in doing what she loves: eating delicious food! Alina has mastered the balance of healthy and tasty. She teaches people how to listen to their own bodies and create personalized diets that leave them feeli...
On this episode of “The Shine Strategy,” I’m proud to introduce to you a dynamic woman and longtime dear friend of mine, Lila Javan. We attended high school together at Northfield Mount Hermon, and who would have known all those years ago that Lila would become a 3x cancer survivor and the founder of Climb2Cure for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), raising over $2 million to date for cancer research. In 2010, Lila’s life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukemia, AML.

She has survived aggressive chemotherapy treatment and multiple bone marrow and stem cell transplants—one from her sister and also from a stranger in Germany (thanks to Be The Match).Just before her relapse in 2014, Lila was planning a solo trip to Africa to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. The very week that she was booki...
