    Heather Wood on Why Love Is a Practice, Not Just a Feeling

    Heather Wood’s life changed forever in 2023 after the tragic loss of her daughter, Ava, and her husband. Instead of allowing that loss to define what came next, Heather turned the life and legacy of her daughter into Stupendous Love, a mission centered around connection, empathy, kindness, and living with greater intention. In this conversation with Greg Aden, Heather shares how her experiences as a mother, corporate leader, and now founder shaped the way she views servant leadership. They discuss why great leaders create space for people to be heard, why authenticity matters at work and at home, and how meaningful connection can help us navigate what Heather calls the “messy middle” of life. Heather also explains why love is more than an emotion. It is a practice. A practice of showing respect, creating connection, being present, adding value to the lives of others, and choosing how you want to be remembered. Greg and Heather explore how those principles can change the way we lead, work, parent, build relationships, and respond when life becomes difficult.
