CURVEBALL. A PODCAST ABOUT POSSIBILITY.

Because life's a b*tch...then you fly.

Real people. Wild turns. Brave choices. Unbelievable outcomes. These are the stories that don’t end with the curveball – they start with it.

Unpredictable? Totally. Uninspiring? Never.

Latest episodes

Each episode of Curveball features a real person, a wild left turn, and the kind of brave choice that changes everything. Some call it chaos. We call it the start of something incredible.

meet your host

Hey, I'm Heather Campbell

Brand strategist, marketing sherpa, copywriter, designer, and survivor of one very memorable brain surgery in 2024.

I started Curveball to make something meaningful from my own curveball moment when everything went sideways for me...and my brain.

Because what I’ve learned – and what I keep seeing in others – is that the story doesn’t end with the curveball. That’s usually where it really begins.

When I’m not hosting Curveball, I’m running Hey! Heather Campbell, where I help female founders build brands that feel like them and actually bring in clients – with the help of smart strategy, beautiful design, and a fleet of custom AI that knows what it’s doing.
