The Comeback Formula
A Resilience System
"Sandra's ComeBACK Formula guidebook is the first of its kind I've come across in my fifty years of firefighting.

Bill Clayton, division chief (retired), CALFIRE

About Sandra Younger
Sandra 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, common-sense practices proven to transform disaster into opportunity and loss into legacy. Now as the founder of ComeBACK Solutions Intl., Sandra 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 numerous podcasts. |
