Hello, I’m Heather V Masters—your host of the Choosing Happy Podcast and a passionate guide for techies, entrepreneurs, and creatives ready to thrive!

As a certified Master coach, NLP trainer/ Master Practitioner, and hypnotist, I bring a unique blend of tools to help you break free from limiting patterns and choose happiness every day.
My journey began with corporate burnout, where I discovered the power of mindset shifts to transform my life.

From NLP techniques to heartfelt stories, I’m here to empower you with actionable insights and a warm, authentic vibe.

When I’m not podcasting, you’ll find me coaching clients, writing, or sipping a cuppa while dreaming up new ways to inspire joy. Let’s choose happy together—join me on this journey!
