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.

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.
