Are you ready to step boldly into your power, unlock your full potential, and embrace the life you were born to live? In this deeply moving and transformative episode of Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn, we welcome Dr. Deborah Heiser—applied developmental psychologist, visionary founder of The Mentor Project, and author of The Mentorship Edge—for an intimate, inspiring conversation about the power of mentorship, overcoming imposter syndrome, and thriving in midlife and beyond.
🔥 Inside this episode, you’ll discover: ✨ Why mentorship isn’t just a professional tool, but a life-changing force that connects generations, builds confidence, and brings meaning to your life ✨ The emotional “generativity” stage of midlife—how it naturally drives women to give back, claim their expertise, and step into their purpose ✨ Dr. Heiser’s powerful personal journey—from her childhood “aha moment” witnessing her grandmother’s depression to becoming a pioneer in aging psychology and mentorship ✨ Why so many women don’t see themselves as mentors—and how recognizing your value can transform your confidence overnight ✨ The truth about imposter syndrome: Why even astronauts, CEOs, and top leaders feel it—and how women can break the cycle of shrinking back ✨ How to recognize the mentorship that already exists in your life—through family traditions, daily problem-solving, and emotional legacies you pass down ✨ Why everyday mentorship—like teaching your kids family recipes or sharing your story—can leave a bigger impact than any corporate title ✨ The founding story of The Mentor Project: how Dr. Heiser built a global movement connecting mentors and mentees across five countries, proving the power of generosity and the innate human drive to help others ✨ Stories of mentors who discovered their sense of purpose later in life, and how they now feel more relevant, fulfilled, and inspired than ever ✨ How mentorship empowers both mentors and mentees by helping them see their value, make new connections, and change the trajectory of lives
🛑 This episode is for you if you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t have enough credentials to be a mentor.”
“I want to give back but don’t know where to start.”
“I feel stuck in midlife or unsure of what I have to offer.”
“I struggle with perfectionism or fear asking for help.”
❤️ Dr. Heiser’s insights will show you: ✅ How to flip the script on perfectionism by seeing mentorship as a two-way exchange of wisdom and vulnerability ✅ That you don’t need a title or degree to guide, inspire, or mentor others—your life experience matters ✅ How acknowledging the emotional power of traditions, routines, and memories can help you leave a legacy for generations ✅ Practical ways to model openness, curiosity, and mentorship for your children—empowering both daughters and sons ✅ That true mentorship is about sharing your emotional warmth, your story, and your knowledge—and that makes you more powerful than you know
