What is ‘Older, Wiser and Young(ish) at Heart’ about?
OWYAH (pronounced O-Yah!!!) is an attitude towards life. OWYAH is about saying a big OWYAH!!! to yourself, the way in which you wish to live your life and making the most of the years ahead of you. It’s about fully embracing the life you wish to enjoy now and, in the years to come.
Hi, I’m Heather, a relatively new sextagenarian and the Founder of OWYAH. Having made it through over 60 years of life’s ups and downs, I’m definitely feeling older than I used to be. I’ve learned some things along the way and feel a bit (okay, a lot) wiser too. I’m also wanting to fully embrace this next chapter of life. I’m excited about it!
Finally, I’m at a point where I don’t care what others think or say and I’m no longer afraid to be my quirky, fully authentic self. I also don’t feel that I’m “too old” to try new things or to keep doing the old things, like hitting the mountain bike trails, lifting weights a few times a week or finishing that book that I’ve been meaning to write.
You’re likely here because you’re feeling the same way and know that there are more years in the rear-view mirror of your life than there are on the road ahead and you want to make the most of them!
So, if you’re feeling the OWYAH vibe, stick around!

In the OWYAH Substack, I share stories, thoughts and musings from my life experience as a 60-something OWYAH-spirited woman. In The Happy Misfit, I talk about the many jobs - nearly 50 - that I’ve had in my lifetime. I write about the shame and judgement that goes with not fitting into the traditional career world, share crazy behind-the-scenes stories, the positive takeaways from such a meandering career journey and talk about being a late bloomer who’s finally found a job that she enjoys (and did not see coming).
