Exploring growth, creativity, and stuff that matters.

Welcome! I’m Dee Heffernan—a curious, ambitious, and creative thinker who thrives on big ideas and meaningful conversations.

I’m passionate about exploring new possibilities, connecting with others, and challenging the way things are done.

I’m a mother of three girls, two who’ve already surpassed me in height.  I’m LGBTQ identified, and am passionate about social progress – always looking to connect and collaborate with those forging similar paths. 

I use this page to share my latest updates and ventures. 

My TEDx talk is a personal story about navigating the tension between ambition and authenticity. It reflects on the pressures of living a “highlight reel life” and the journey toward embracing something more real—a path that feels true and fulfilling.
