Heather Gearhart
Born and raised in Arizona, and now living full-time in Flagstaff, Heather Gearhart fell in love with the community as a NAU student where she earned her bachelor of science in public relations and met her husband, Ryan. Now a 30-something mom of two kids (A – age 8, and C – age 6), Heather is on a journey to just “be.” She’s a self-proclaimed mess who let go of perfection to instead live by the mantra to “relax and embrace the crazy.” Heather blogs about her mishaps, learnings and adventures in parenting on www.LifesETC.com.
