Martin Heppell
Martin Heppell, Partner and Facilitator at The Resilience Project
In this episode of the Let’s Check In Podcast, Suzie McErvale sits down with Martin Heppell from
The Resilience Project to explore identity, uncertainty, resilience and what happens when life doesn’t go the way
you expected.
Martin shares stories from his childhood growing up in Borneo, his journey through elite football, the years he
spent feeling lost after sport ended and the lessons that eventually helped him find purpose working with young
people.
Together they discuss:
• Why comparison can make us feel like failures
• The power of gratitude, empathy and mindfulness
• How growing up in Borneo shaped Martin’s outlook on life
• How to navigate uncertainty and anxiety
• Why feeling lost is often part of growth
• The importance of connection and vulnerability
• Raising resilient children in a complex world
• Learning to live according to your values, even when it’s difficult
This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about continuing to show up, staying connected and trusting that the difficult seasons won’t last
forever. If you’ve ever felt behind in life, uncertain about your
direction, or caught comparing yourself to everyone around you, this episode is for you.
