Mastering Self-Leadership + Resiliency with Heather Younger (part 2)

Send us a text

Feeling stuck, waiting for permission, or blaming others for your circumstance? Heather Younger's transformative guidance on self-leadership might be exactly what you need to break through.

Heather shares her personal journey through layoffs, childhood challenges, and professional setbacks that ultimately shaped her exceptional resilience. With remarkable vulnerability, she reveals the moment she found herself in what she calls "the pit of despair" after a devastating job loss—and the conscious decision she made to flip the internal switch from victim to victor.

The conversation explores practical strategies for reframing negative thought patterns, allowing yourself space to process emotions before moving forward, and finding a mission bigger than your immediate challenges. Heather explains how having a clear purpose serves as a protective mechanism that "blurs out" daily obstacles, keeping you focused on what truly matters.

What makes this discussion particularly powerful is Heather's emphasis on embodiment—the alignment between what you claim to value and how you actually live. She challenges listeners to examine their own lives for evidence that they're truly living according to their stated values, revealing how her own wake-up call came when she realized her business success was conflicting with her family priorities.

Perhaps most importantly, Heather reframes resilience itself as something that requires deliberate practice. Rather than avoiding challenges, she encourages "looking for walls to hit" because that's precisely how we develop the bounce-back ability that others might mistakenly view as inherent strength. As she puts it, "You can't build resilience watching daytime television."
