About the Host:

Following the crumbs in the chaos is a full-time job as a Productivity Coach. As a busy mom of three and the founder of Chaos N’ Cookies, keeping moms from crumbling is my main objective. After gaining 10+ years of experience as a Director of Marketing helping build multiple 6 & 7-figure businesses for other women I’ve created the Chaos Control System to equip moms to overcome their own objections so they can live the life they want to live and start that business they have always wanted. The Family Playbook, or standard operating procedure, is the tool every mama needs to save time and stress-less when chaos ensues at home.

For new biz owners, I also help simplify systems on social media and other business platforms to automate processes to get their business up and running quickly and efficiently with how-tos and hands-on coaching. I have helped hundreds of women to be more productive and self-sufficient in their homes and businesses allowing them to reclaim control of the chaos.

Today, I’m joined by Heidi Smith! We are chatting about her book, The Uncommon Book of Prayer.  Heidi is an author, a psychosomatic therapist, and a flower essence practitioner. 

About the Guest:

Like so many others, author Heidi Smith found herself unmoored by a confluence of personal and professional trials during the peak of the COVID pandemic. While several familiar and sustaining allies fortified her throughout this time, the most lifesaving of all was a new element that bloomed in her spiritual practice: prayer.

Heidi Smith, MA, RH (AHG), is a psychosomatic therapist, registered herbalist, flower essence practitioner, and author of The Bloom Book. In her private practice, Moon & Bloom, Heidi collaborates with her clients to empower greater balance, actualization, and soul-level healing within themselves.
