About Sandra Younger
Sandra Younger lost her home, 12 neighbors and nearly her own life in a catastrophic wildfire. Her book about the disaster, The Fire Outside My Window, has been acclaimed as required reading for residents of wildfire country, adopted as a training text by top-level emergency professionals, and praised by reviewers as a “couldn’t put it down” page-turner.
After the fire, Sandra discovered that personal resilience is both a natural strength and a skill set we can build like a muscle. Combining her own experience with leading academic research, she developed The ComeBACK Formula™—a five-step system of powerful, commonsense practices proven to transform disaster into opportunity and loss into legacy. Sandra now shares her resilience-boosting message as an international speaker, workshop leader and media guest. She’s appeared on NBC's Dateline, ABC, CBS, PBS, CBC, Fox, the CW and more than 20 podcasts. |
