Download White Paper: Keys to Promoting Health Sustaining Behaviors

I’m Heather Sayers Lehman.

I’m Heather Sayers Lehman.

 

I’m a Behavior Change Expert and Certified Health & Wellness Coach. 

I’ve been in health and well-being for over 30 years. When I started health coaching in employee wellness programs, I saw the same patterns of people trying to get their health in order, but were overwhelmed with life, family responsibilities, burnout, emotional exhaustion, financial stress, and mental overload.  When we paused to focus on healthy habits and emotional well-being, their lives would change tremendously. They felt more confident dealing with change, handled stress better, fostered community, found purpose, and recharged emotional energy. From this elevated state, they were able to focus on creating and maintaining healthy habits.
 
For over a decade, Overcoming U has grown by prioritizing emotional well-being. The focus has remained on supporting people in caring for themselves from the inside out.

Here’s my official bio:

Heather Sayers Lehman, MS, NBC-HWC, CSCS, NASM-CPT, CIEC, CWP, enjoys a passionate career in health and well-being. She has held athletics, physical therapy, fitness, health coaching, workplace wellness, and podcasting positions. Heather is a TEDx speaker who loves speaking engagements for employee well-being and conferences.

Heather founded and operates Overcoming U – Cultivating Employee Well-Being. Overcoming U provides health coaching, wellness strategy consulting, and well-being campaigns for employee wellness programs. The campaigns focus on building skillsets and changing mindsets to create and maintain healthy habits while having some fun and feeling accomplished. The campaigns cover healthy eating, exercise programming, resilience building, financial well-being, emotional eating, stress management, healthy relationships with food and body, and health practices for active workers.

Heather also hosts the podcast The Air We Breathe: Finding Well-Being That Works. She enjoys candid conversations with experts, doctors, creatives, and activists, debunking health myths, and learning to seek peace over perfection.

And here’s more casual info describing what I love to do:

 

  • I’m a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and NWI Certified Wellness Professional. That means I’m highly skilled in supporting you to problem-solve and overcome your biggest self-care obstacles. I’m also well-versed in the data of health-supporting behaviors so we can sift through the mountains of information and find what works best for you, faster. 
  • As the Founder of Overcoming U: Cultivating Employee Wellbeing, I’ve educated more than 9000 employees across dozens of organizations in the pillars of healthier living. From eating made easy, to burnout prevention, to boosting cardio and strength on a time-budget, Overcoming U campaigns create mindset shifts and build skills for lasting change. 
  • I’m a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I can help you become confident in deciding for yourself what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat according to your nutritional needs and natural cravings, without relying on restrictive rubrics or having to do body math constantly.
  • I have a master’s degree in Exercise Science and am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. I use that to support you in figuring out meaningful, manageable ways to bring movement into your existing rhythms so it no longer feels like an uphill battle to meet your fitness goals.

Healthy Living isn’t All-or-Nothing.

It’s a Spectrum. 

We need foundations and basics.

Not trends. 

I know. It’s not sexy. There’s no razzle-dazzle here. 

But when it comes to your health, you deserve better than extreme protocols, overhyped quick-fixes, and cookie-cutter advice. 

Everybody is different. Our bodies change over time. And life goes through many seasons and stages, pushes and pulls. 

Basketball season. Theater season. Performance review season. Enrollment season. 

That’s why I want you to have a solid, yet flexible foundation of basic habits and skills that you can fall back on no matter how unruly life becomes. 

It’s the boring yet meaningful kind of mindset and behavior change that actually transforms your life.

I have a free podcast for you:

The Air We Breathe Podcast

Enjoy candid conversations with experts, doctors, creatives, and activists as we learn to seek peace over perfection and find well-being practices that works for YOU.

Taking great care of your health doesn’t have to be complicated, strict, or extreme. 

My coaching programs and corporate wellbeing offerings help you get in the swing of healthy habits without turning your busy lifestyle upside down (unless you want to).
