True, inspirational stories from around the world

I’ve talked with individuals from around the globe who have faced immense obstacles and found the strength to persevere and flourish to complete my latest book: Look Up—Global Stories of Resilience. This collection of powerful stories tells of loss, betrayal, and disease, the ravages of fire, hurricane, and war, of situations that severely test the human spirit. Yet the thread that unites them all is resilience and the Look Up mantra. These real-life sheroes, heroes, and badasses chose to Look Up, kick butt, and expand into a new life.

What readers and listeners are saying about Heidi

Look Up is more than just a book; it's a movement towards embracing life's difficulties with a new perspective. It encourages readers to find their inner resilience and transform their trials into triumphs.

It’s a message that will resonate today. Look Up’s highly recommended notes of positivity, adaptation, and transformation are just what the world needs in times of trial, whether struggles are personal, community-wide, or engulf the world.

"There are certainly many books written about overcoming adversity. Heidi's is unique...When All Balls Drop is a compelling story of tenacity, humor and accomplishment. You'll certainly cheer for the author as she heads to the finish line!"

"When All Balls Drop is a "must read" for anyone who has been faced with adversity. Very inspirational. Heidi shows us how to overcome some of life's common, and uncommon, obstacles."

I fell in love with Heidi while reading "Cubicle to Cuba and I didn't want the story to end. Life is what you make of it and she gives life everything she's got. Following this author to see what she gives us next. Congratulations on a well-done work that inspires readers to live life to the fullest."

"With New Eyes is recommended for readers who want insights into the process of self-discovery and creating a new life. Feisty and thought-provoking, it's a saga that starts from the point of losing everything and rebuilds a life, taking its readers along for an exhilarating ride in the process!"

"Insightful and inspiring - Your audience will be completely engaged and follow along effortlessly on her journey through life's adventures. You will feel sad, encouraged, and happy, leaving with tools to help you through your challenges."

Hi! I'm Heidi Siefkas

(pronounced Seef-kas).

Although I’m originally from small-town Wisconsin (you betcha), I hang my hat in Nashville, TN. However, as an adventurer, I’m rarely home for long. Most likely, you’ll find me in the outdoors on an adventure near or far. Also, I’m a TEDx speaker, creator of the mantra Look Up, and the author of four inspirational, non-fiction books: Look Up—Global Stories of Resilience, When All Balls Drop, With New Eyes, and Cubicle to Cuba.
