Heather Dominick on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

When my guest, Heather Dominick, hit the million-dollar mark – it wasn't a celebratory moment. She was burnt out, overwhelmed, and suspected that something wasn't quite right.

That's when Heather found out she was a Highly Sensitive Person, which is a trait that some people are born with. With that, Heather knew she had to figure out how to make entrepreneurship work for her. She became the founder and leader of the Highly Sensitive Entrepreneur® movement with her company, Business Miracles.
