Summary
In this candid, curious, and laugh-filled episode, we sit down with Heidi Schild — longtime caregiver, accidental entrepreneur, and passionate plant-based home cook. Heidi shares her journey from growing up in Ohio, navigating early careers in fashion retail and banking, supporting her husband’s medical practice, and eventually reinventing her relationship with food and health. What begins as a conversation about tofu quickly becomes a powerful story about intentional living, family, curiosity, and choosing progress over perfection. From Veganuary experiments to teaching cooking classes in her home, Heidi reminds us that transformation doesn’t require extremes — just awareness, consistency, and a sense of humor.
