‘It’s exposure therapy on a whole new level and she’s the kind of beautiful role model you should introduce to your teenage girls. They love social media, so tell them to look her (Heidi Anderson) up. She’s a hell of a lot more inspiring than some of the other ‘celebrities’ that seem to fill this space — and do far more damage than good’ – Erin Molan Gold Coast Bulletin
“Being ‘Drunk on Confidence’ is not some throw-away phrase for an inspirational Insta caption, it’s a lifestyle, a complete shift in perspective that will help you feel empowered and confident every day.”
Radio and TV personality, Heidi Anderson was always the girl who wore a cardigan in summer to cover her arms, and board shorts to the beach on the rare occasion she dared to go. She spent years hating herself; silencing her body demons through sex, booze and boys.
Heidi knows what it’s like to feel alone, to deal with debilitating anxiety daily and to constantly try to please people; pretending to be okay on the outside, while suffering crushing insecurities on the inside.
After breaking down on live radio to 300 thousand listeners and making the nerve-racking confession,
“I wish I could sit here and tell you that I love myself because that’s what people expect me to say, but I can’t. I absolutely hate my body”
She experienced a life-changing moment.
Her gut-wrenching admission forced her to embrace her vulnerabilities, challenge her old beliefs and learn how to say a big fat ‘’Fuck You” to unrealistic beauty standards, and a big ‘’Up Yours’’ to all diets and society’s expectations.
Heidi is unapologetically authentic, her memoir is filled with honesty, humour and home-truths. She will show you how she dealt with her inner mean girls that told her she wasn’t skinny enough, good enough or simply that other people mattered more than she did. She will inspire you to STOP worrying what other people think and take your power back!
Heidi Anderson is a straight up legend, she just gets it! She works hard, she’s an ideas machine and is a content queen. Heidi is the ultimate hype girl, I know this cause she’s been mine since 2013” – Tanya Hennessy Comedian, TV & Radio Personality
Heidi asked me to leave a quote about how amazing she is. That’s the type of confidence she has. A brave, motivational force to be reckoned with. Constantly inspires me. Heidi has motivated me to take my top off in shopping centres also. – Christian Hull, Comedian, Author Content creator
Your perspective on life encourages me to live with more confidence every day. I will always admire your determination to help others see the positive things in life. I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK! – Beck Z TV personality – MAFS contestant & celeb apprentice
Radio 6PR Interview
Rosie Rees Founder of Naked Awakening, Sex toy entrepreneur & Relationship coach –
Heidi is the epitome of vulnerability and courage! This book is a walking permission slip for so many women to embrace their body, speak their truth and step out of their comfort zone. This memoir is not only hilariously entertaining, it’s also refreshing and packed full of life lessons from the queen herself.
Tracey Spencer – Author, Light worker and Biz Coach –
Real, raw and relatable! Heidi’s words are the perfect combination of heart-opening and hilarious. Full of permission slips and loving reminders, Drunk on Confidence is the self-love bible all women need to finally stop fighting against themselves and find peace and freedom in owning/loving the skin they’re in.
Bianca Dye – TV & Radio Extraordinaire –
‘Unique, crazy, wild souls are always drawn to each other. Sometimes you feel really alone, but people like Heidi remind us that we are connected in our own unique crazy wild ways! I always felt seen by Heidi, she is my radio soul sister. We get each other, both crazy wild spirits. Sometimes you feel lost in the world & people like Heidi make you realise that your tribe is out there. Her book will show you that you no longer have to look for answers outside of you with her incredible gift of helping you, see you.’
Carmen Braidwood – TV, Radio personality & Coach –
‘You will see yourself in Heidi’s book. Or, you’ll see your sister, daughter, wife, mum … then realise you were seeing yourself after all. Heidi Anderson is a woman who makes things happen. Not just for herself, but for the community of people she builds around her, just by being herself. Thankfully, she turned those superpowers inward to heal and this book means we all get the benefits. If you’ve ever succumbed to the lies of a nasty internal voice, suffered in silence, and wore a mask to get though – who hasn’t? – you need Heidi’s cheerleading in your life.’
Beck Z, TV Personality –
Heidi’s perspective on life encourages me to live with more confidence every day. I will always admire your determination to help others see the positive things in life. I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK!’

im Dormer, Big Brother Winner & TV, Radio personality –
‘Fate introduced me to Heidi back in 2013 when we lived together in the Big Brother house. Through the manipulated
and overproduced world of reality TV we were able to forge a genuine friendship ever since. I’m so proud of the confidence Heidi has been able to create for herself and the way she now shares this with the world! In a world full of pretenders, Heidi is an inspiration on how to keep it real!’
Erin Molan, Sydney Breakfast Radio Host & TV presenter –
‘As someone who has struggled with confidence and body image over the years, Heidi’s memoir is the kind of thing I wish I’d been given as a teenager. It would have changed my life for the better. She’s not only completely inspiring in every way… she’s determined to save others from suffering a similar fate. As the mother of a little girl I am so grateful there are Heidi’s in the world! I’m also incredibly grateful that she manages to combine such an important story in such a compassionate, special and entertaining way!’
Narelda Jacobs, Channel 10 Presenter –
When Heidi revealed her secret on air, it was a moment. The life of the party was disarming her demons & stepping into her power. Little did she know it would create a movement.’

Claudia Symonds –
Hey Heidi, I’m part of Bre’s miss mindset LUL course and though I would check out your poddy before you came on to talk tonight and f@#$ me I am so glad I did! I’ve only listened to your 3rd episode “my body confidence breakthrough” where you played audio from your radio show and you talk about the letter you wrote to you son and I bawled, I felt very seen, that women is very present with me right now unfortunately and I too have faced those shit thoughts after giving birth to my son but I’m slowly taking the steps to turn the stories around and shed my shit. Having a baby changed my body so much but he is also my biggest inspiration for me to face things head on, shed and grow so I can be the best example and Mumma to him. Today I’m going to write a letter to him just like you did for Memphis I loved that so much! I can’t wait for tonight’s call! Thankyou for being so raw its shaken things inside of me that needed shaking up! X

Champagne Confidence is described as a how-to podcast, embodying the spirit of the girl at the party who’s had a couple of glasses of bubbly. She’s effervescent, outgoing and doesn’t care what other people think.
The new podcast combines Heidi’s storytelling with new ways of getting out of her comfort zone, with new episodes to drop on Sunday evenings.

Proud of you Heidi Lee for being relatable and telling your story in a way that others can feel not alone and be understood and that is so important for you for your mum 💕and for everyone.
Janelle Rees-Smith –
Having followed Heidi over the last 3 years I was so excited when I heard she was writing a book and waited anxiously for it to come out! It certainly delivers and is a book that all should read to understand the struggles we go through as humans in accepting ourselves and loving ourselves as we are instead of measuring our self worth by the size of our body or the number on a scale or the size on a clothing label. Heidi’s book is insightful and entertaining and easy to read but hard to put down! Well done Heidi awesome book!!
