In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Debbie Qaqish to explore what it really means to evolve, from building a career out of necessity to stepping fully into purpose.

With over 35 years of experience transforming marketing into a true revenue driver, Debbie shares the pivotal moments that shaped her journey, both professionally and personally. From redefining the role of marketing in business to navigating a deeply personal mental health journey, this episode dives into the often unseen pressure leaders carry and the powerful tools that can help reframe it.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of expectations, wrestled with purpose, or wondered how your story could become your strength, this conversation will meet you there and gently challenge you forward.

Dr. Debbie Qaqish created the Revenue Marketing® movement in 2011 — years before the industry caught up — transforming marketing from a cost center into a measurable revenue driver. She is the author of Rise of the Revenue Marketer and From Backroom to Boardroom, and has spent more than 35 years helping B2B marketing organizations drive growth.

Today, as founder and CEO of The Growth Factor, Debbie focuses on the next shift most leaders are missing: performance under pressure. She translates neuroscience and human performance science into practical leadership discipline so marketing leaders can think clearly and perform sustainably when the stakes are high. Debbie earned her Doctor of Business Administration in 2018 and is a Positive Psychology Practitioner.

What if your greatest heartbreak became the doorway to your most vibrant life?

In this powerful episode of Be S.H.E. Podcast, Heidi sits down with Vickie Aigner…..72-year-old wellness expert, founder of Alive Fit & Free, and a woman whose story is equal parts resilience and transformation. After the devastating loss of her husband while raising six children, Vickie found herself forced to rebuild not just her life, but her identity.

Through grief, healing, and deep inner work, she discovered something many women overlook: true wellness doesn’t start with what we do on the outside, it begins within.

Together, Heidi and Vickie dive into:

• The hidden weight of unprocessed grief
• Why “pushing through” can delay true healing
• The connection between emotional health and physical vitality
• And how women, especially in later seasons of life, can step into strength, purpose, and joy again

This conversation is an invitation to stop running, start healing, and say yes to your next vibrant chapter, no matter your age or story.

Vickie Aigner is a 72-year-old fitness and wellness professional who has spent more than four decades helping women over 50 live their healthiest, happiest, and longest lives. She is the founder of Alive, Fit & Free and the creator of fun and effective brain-body fitness programs, including Energy Up for people living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and their caregivers. Through transformational wellness retreats and travel adventures, she guides women to build strength, protect their brains, and say “yes” to the next vibrant chapter of life.
