Stupendous Love, at its heart, it’s about choosing freedom, joy, and love—every single day—no matter what life throws your way.
It was born out of the legacy of Heather's daughter, Ava, and everything she embodied: leadership, compassion, kindness, inclusivity, and strength.
Through Stupendous Love, we channel her spirit into something bigger—something that inspires others to live fully, love deeply, and rise resiliently.
Stupendous Love
A Life.
A Legacy.
A movement.
Heather Wood
Founder of Stupendous Love
Speaker | Leader | Dream-Chaser
Heather Wood is Ava Wood’s mother.
A daughter, a sister, a friend.
She’s also a seasoned leader with more than twenty years of experience—curious about how people thrive, how systems evolve, and how culture is shaped by what we practice every day.
Heather knows life is rarely just one thing.
Joy and responsibility often share the same space.
So do challenge and success.
Freedom and commitment, too.
She believes connection grows with intention.
That authenticity beats perfection.
That real belonging begins when you show up as yourself.
Heather doesn’t choose between softness and strength. She lives with both—and leads that way, too.
Ava Wood:
Connection.
Authenticity.
Love.
The Life that Sparked a Movement.
Ava had a rare gift—she made people feel seen. She lived boldly, loved fiercely, and found joy in the simplest moments. On January 20, 2023, her life was tragically cut short by her father, who was struggling with severe mental health challenges. From that unimaginable loss, Stupendous Love was created to carry her light forward—transforming pain into purpose, breaking the silence around mental health, and reminding us that love can rise again.
“She made people feel seen—and her light still does.”
