Why We're Here
We built this for you
The Heart Matters was born from a simple, powerful truth: the women who give the most to everyone else are often the ones giving the least to themselves. We created this podcast as a place where that changes — one honest conversation at a time. No judgment, no perfection. Just connected conversations that get to the heart.
Bernadette Gratton
Co-host & Co-founder
Bernadette brings a rare combination of warmth and candor to every conversation. With years of personal growth work behind her, she has lived the journey from self-sacrifice to self-worth — and she brings that hard-won wisdom to the mic with grace and humor.
Her gift is creating a space where listeners feel seen, heard, and less alone. Whether she's sharing her own story or asking exactly the right question, Bernadette's presence is the heart of this show.
Terri Milroy
Co-host & Certified Life Coach
Terri is a certified life coach (since 2020) and the founder of The Reclaimed Heart, a coaching brand dedicated to helping women who struggle with overgiving and unhealthy relationship patterns. Her coaching philosophy is simple and powerful: you have to matter to you first.
