Personal Details

Bio

Motivational global keynote speaker, inspirational author and previous corporate marketing executive.

Ms. Heckler has served as a global marketing executive for several multi-billion dollar organizations. A very accomplished and busy professional, this faith-filled Catholic missed God in her everyday life, and yet couldn’t figure out how to make time for him. So, God gave her a “time-out” with a freak leg accident. No sooner had her leg started to heal and she started interviewing for a new job when she discovered her stage 3 breast cancer.

Ms. Heckler worked through her treatments but worked even more at trying to live radiantly every day. Sometimes it meant all she could do was smile. Other days it meant a lot more, even traveling for work. During her journey, she kept a journal, a blog. She has since converted the journal into a book entitled, Living Like A Lady When You Have Cancer. She interviewed many other patients and medical providers, in an effort to provide countless insights, tips and tricks to live, and live radiantly through a cancer journey. The book has been recognized as an International Book Awards Finalist winner.

God now takes a front seat in her life as she shares her journey, her beliefs, tips and tricks. The tips and tricks in her book are very practical as Ms. Heckler believes that if we can easily know about and take care of the little things of everyday life, it frees us up to live radiantly, with God shining through everyday.

Ms. Heckler shares her story, her path, with humor, faith and passion. She motivates and energizes you to live your most radiant life, regardless of the journey you are on.
