Heidi never wanted to choose between her role as a mom, professional career, and adventurous lifestyle…so she didn’t. She rewrote the rules to design a life of adventure while still being a working mom. Heidi is often described as a healthy disruptor and unshakeable optimist, whose passion lies in challenging the status quo and delivering experiences. Her background transcends the sectors of education, health care, nonprofits, research, philanthropy, and business with superpowers in connecting dots, designing systems, and public speaking. She continually embraces each role with a lens of empathy, trust and curiosity.

She has combined all these skills and experiences into her most treasured role as an adventurous mom. Today she inspires other families through her podcast, membership and writing to experience what is possible. She and her husband live in Wisconsin with 3 children. The majority of their time is spent playing outside, remodeling their fourth generation farm house, mastering travel rewards and un-tourism while creating connections with people around the world.  Her podcast Ordinary Sherpa inspires families to connect through simple and authentic adventures.
