ABOUT THIS EPISODE: This season we are interviewing all of the women who make WYM happen behind the scenes! We are starting off with interviewing Heather! 3 years ago, Heather's life looked massively different. She quit her job, ended her marriage, lost 100 pounds - and is here to tell her story about it all. This is the LONGEST episode we'll probably ever have - but after 75 episodes you finally get to hear all about her call to ministry, why she started WYM, where she's at today, and every brave decision in between.
ABOUT HEATHER: Heather’s first love is youth ministry, and her second love is youth ministers. Heather Lea Campbell (she/her) has served in full-time youth ministry since 2010, serving various congregations and denominations. Heather serves The Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis as the Diocesan Youth Minister, resourcing youth and their youth leaders. Heather is also the Founder & CEO of Women in Youth Ministry, an organization that celebrates the leadership of women. A certified leadership coach, Heather is most energized when helping people discover and utilize their gifts.
