Ep. 299: Heidi Farina - She Ditched the Hustle Culture, Changed Her Diet & Reclaimed Her Life

In this inspiring episode, Rip sits down with Heidi Farina to hear how she went from college athlete and biotech manager, to full-time artist and plant-based advocate.

After experiencing deep personal loss and burnout during the pandemic, Heidi realized something had to give. What followed was a powerful transformation rooted in health, healing, and rediscovery.

Heidi opens up about her decision to embrace a whole food plant-based lifestyle, how it helped her reclaim her energy and creativity, and what it really took to step away from a life that no longer aligned with her values.

She shares the emotional journey of balancing motherhood, grief, and self-care—and how she now prioritizes mental health and boundaries while pursuing a life that truly feels like her own.

She discusses:

  • The impact of family’s health history on her wellness journey
  • The moment she knew she needed to make a major life change
  • How switching to a whole food plant-based diet jump-started her healing
  • Finding the courage to go “all in,” regardless of criticism and opinions of others
  • What it takes to rebuild your identity after burnout and loss
  • Tips for setting boundaries and creating a life of balance
  • Why it’s never too late to start over and pursue what lights you up
