Colors You Can Hear, Callings You Can See: Heather Eck on Synesthesia and the Soul

What if the very success you were praised for — the grades, the promotions, the corporate wins — was actually steering you away from your soul’s true path? In this episode, Ashley sits down with intuitive artist and healer Heather Eck, who shares her bold journey from being the family-approved A student and high-achieving corporate professional to stepping fully into her gifts as a soul-led creative. Heather opens up about the moment she realized her career no longer aligned with her essence, how embracing her sensitivity became her strength, and the unexpected role of synesthesia, her ability to see sound and energy in color, in unlocking her life’s work. We go deeper into how Heather now helps others reconnect with their own soul’s calling, her process of creating intuitive paintings that mirror a person’s energy, and why giving yourself permission to pivot is the most radical act of self-love. Her journey shows that even when you’ve checked all the boxes of success, your soul may still be calling you toward something truer. Tune in to episode 280 of Uncover Your Magic to discover what happens when you trade external validation for soul alignment, and why living in color might just change everything.
