I'm Heather Theisen-Gandara, EdD, the founder of Reignite Collective, where I empower women over 40 to rise stronger and bolder after divorce. My journey from rural Wisconsin to global stages has shaped my passion for cross-cultural connection and personal transformation.

I'm Heather Theisen-Gandara, EdD, the founder of Reignite Collective, where I empower women over 40 to rise stronger and bolder after divorce. My journey from rural Wisconsin to global stages has shaped my passion for cross-cultural connection and personal transformation. With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and a Master’s in Counseling, I leverage my 20+ years of experience in international diplomacy and team management to guide women through holistic recovery—helping them reclaim their confidence, wellness, and financial independence. My mission is to show that life after divorce is not an ending; it's the start of a powerful new chapter.
