Draw or Die: Heather Boschke
“I HAVE A 100% SURVIVAL RATE ON ALL OF MY WORST DAYS.”
Episode Description
In this episode of Leadership Matters, Heather Boschke, marketer, entrepreneur, and children’s author, joins host Kaylee Thomsen to explore what happens when you redefine success on your own terms. Heather shares the corporate burnout that pushed her toward change, why the voice inside her told her “draw or die,” and how rediscovering childhood joys like drawing birds led to a fractional marketing business and a growing children’s book series. She also opens up about resilience, letting go of expectations, and learning that her worth was never tied to her output. If you believe reconnecting with what lit you up as a kid can redirect your whole life, this episode is for you.
