Welcome to The Messy Leader

Sacred | Raw | Whole

For the woman who’s ready to lead her life—imperfect and wild.

The Mess Is the Way

You’ve tried to stay neat.
You’ve followed the rules.
You’ve held it all together—until your body, your spirit, your truth said enough.

The Messy Leader isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about reclaiming the parts you left behind to survive.

Here, we don’t rise above the mess.
We rise through it.

I create messy, sacred spaces where wholeness leads.

This isn’t business coaching.


This is sacred reclamation.


This is for women who are done playing small, done performing, and ready to live, lead, and create from truth.

Through circles, private sessions, and soul-aligned

guidance, I walk beside women who:

  • Feel like they’ve lost who they are

  • Are navigating grief, change, or the unknown

  • Want to live and lead with purpose—not perfection

  • Are ready to create something new from the mess

If you’re holding it all together and falling apart inside—this is your invitation to stop pretending and start remembering.

Discover the Power of Intuitive Guidance and Creative Alignment.

I’m Nicol Heard.

Founder of The Messy Leader.

Grief-walker.

Creative guide.


A woman who knows what it’s like to forget herself—and what it takes to come home.

I lead because I’ve lived it.


Because I know how sacred, painful, and powerful it is to rise again when life breaks you open.
Because I believe mess and magic can exist in the same breath.

And because I trust that your leadership begins not when you clean it all up—but when you claim all of it.

Your Journey Starts Here:

You don’t need more pressure to be perfect.
You need space to become who you already are.

Through our work together, you’ll be safely held and guided to access your own potent rewiring, intuitive answers, and lasting change.

This work is for you if you:

  • Feel stuck between what you “should” be doing and what your soul truly desires

  • Struggle to trust your intuitive voice when it matters most

  • Want to break the cycle of unhappiness, doubt, and disconnection

  • Are ready to uncover and embody your life’s true purpose

  • Long to feel whole, joyful, and unapologetically you

Activate Your Intuitive Intelligence

This sacred initiation draws upon Hermetic Principles, HeartMath science, trauma-informed tools, Creative Development methods, nervous system regulation practices, and conflict mastery techniques to help you reclaim your intuitive power and unlock your creative potential.


This isn’t just mindset work.
This is embodiment, energetic alignment, and creative strategy that makes the invisible real.

  • We work on the inner world and the outer structure side by side.

This isn't just mindset work.
This is embodiment, energetic alignment, and clear creative strategy.

Together, we make the invisible real.

  • Amplify your natural intuitive gifts.

  • Feel whole, joyful, and embodied.

  • Release what blocks your true nature.

  • Step into the most YOU version of yourself.

Are You Willing to Lead Yourself—Even in the Mess?

You don’t need to be more together. You need to be more you. This work won’t fix you—it will bring you home. Back to the part of you that already knows, already feels, already hears the truth beneath the noise. If you’re waiting for the mess to settle before you move, don’t. The mess is the portal. Let’s meet there.

You’re Ready for More. Let’s Make It Happen.

  • Your Heart's desires are non-negotiable, and your life should not be lived as a compromise."

We pay our deepest respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge their enduring connection to the land, waters, and community. We also celebrate the rich stories, culture, and traditions of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders who live and work on this land.
