On today’s episode of Rule 42, we’re diving into an extraordinary story of resilience, transformation, and the indomitable human spirit. Our guest, Isabella Young, is a trailblazer in Outdoor Education, a mental health advocate, and a survivor of unimaginable tragedy.

With a background in physical education and health, Isabella was a pioneer in therapeutic Outdoor Education in Australia and the founder of Out Doors Inc. This non-profit organization has empowered people with poor mental health through outdoor adventure and recreation for nearly four decades.

But Isabella’s story transcends her professional accomplishments. In 1994, her world was turned upside down when she was widowed while pregnant and raising her three-year-old son.

In the years that followed, Isabella embarked on a profound journey across three continents, exploring healing practices from retreats and shamanic journeys to vision quests. Her path also led her into - and out of - a messianic cult, where she endured years of psychological control and devastating loss, including the murder of her son at the hands of the cult leader.

Now thriving in Hawaii, Isabella has reclaimed her life, writing, creating art, and sharing her wisdom with the world. Her books, Putting on the Armor of God and New Human of New Earth, provide practical tools for physical and mental wellness, spiritual awakening, and personal sovereignty.

Isabella’s journey is one of unimaginable loss, but also extraordinary resilience and hope. Join us as we explore her path of healing, resistance, and empowerment, and discover how her story can inspire us all to overcome life’s darkest moments and emerge stronger than ever on today’s amazing episode of Rule 42!
