📚 Our Story

Heidi Dietrich and Marla Escobedo are the co-creators of Believe II Be, a passion project born from years of heartfelt conversations, coffee dates, and a shared belief in the power of mindset and daily habits.

Their friendship began during a school field trip, where they instantly connected over their love for journaling, self-improvement, and personal growth. What started as a simple chat turned into years of mastermind meetings, creative brainstorming, and documenting ideas that would blossom into something much bigger.

Both lifelong dreamers who once imagined writing books as children, Marla and Heidi united their stories, experiences, and purpose to bring Skylar’s Attitude and Mr. Habits the Rabbit to life. Together, they aim to inspire young readers—and their families—to believe in themselves, develop strong daily habits, and become who they’re meant to be… one choice at a time.

Their growing collection of characters, stories, and creative tools are just the beginning of their Believe II Be journey.
