In this episode of The Prism of Perspective Podcast, I have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Deborah Heiser, the CEO/Founder of The Mentor Project, author of The Mentorship Edge, and a trailblazing Applied Developmental Psychologist. Deborah’s groundbreaking work has been featured at TEDx, on the Thinkers50 Radar List, and in Psychology Today.

Together, we explore her inspiring journey from her grandmother’s experience with medication-induced depression to becoming an advocate for positive aging and mentorship. Deborah’s perspective on finding hope, growth, and connection in every stage of life is a message we all need to hear.

Key Takeaways from Our Conversation:

- The powerful story of how Deborah’s grandmother’s experience with depression shaped her career path.

- The surprising benefits of reframing the narrative around aging and focusing on positivity.

- Why mentorship is a two-way street that enriches both the mentor and the mentee.

From redefining mentorship to encouraging lifelong learning, Deborah’s work inspires us to make meaningful connections and embrace our potential at every stage of life.
