Homegirl Nation
Being a woman has never been easy and when the going gets tough, we can all use a homegirl to lean on. Join entertainment host Brigitte Truong each week as she meets with courageous guests who have found their lane despite the odds. From business failures to mental health, sex to hate crimes, the candid discussions you hear will give you a new perspective on how freeing and empowering it can be when you own your story. Let’s make it easier to talk about tough things when it comes to womanhood because when we do, we’ll see that we’re more alike and connected than we think.

#59 Heather Ogden | Discipline and Reinvention
Today’s guest has spent over two decades dancing on one of the most demanding stages in the world. Heather Ogden is the Toronto-born, Principal Dancer with The National Ballet of Canada, and she has lived inside the iconic role of Odette/Odile in Swan Lake since 2003. Just weeks after her final bow, Heather is joining us, not just as a celebrated ballerina but as a woman stepping into something new. We’ve all been there; it’s exciting, nerve wracking, and you either lean into the unknowns or you let them stall you. Girl is leaning in!
Heather’s story is one of grit beneath all the grace, it’s a story of pushing through physical and mental limits, and of evolving alongside her art. If you’ve ever stood at the edge of change, wondering what’s next then this conversation is for you.
Let’s talk about identity, discipline, reinvention, and what it takes to leave something you love, ready to meet the next version of yourself.
Let's hang out!
