Veronica Crystal Young is an inspirational speaker, two-time TEDx presenter, author, certified coach, performer, and founder of KnowURPower365¿, a personal growth movement dedicated to helping people rediscover their confidence, purpose, and authentic selves. For more than forty years, Veronica served in healthcare leadership, guiding teams, mentoring leaders, and helping organizations navigate change. Throughout her career, she discovered that while titles and responsibilities shape what we do, they never define who we are. That realization became deeply personal after her own retirement, inspiring a journey of rediscovery that led to the writing of What Remains Is You, the first book in the Reclaim You¿ Series. A passionate advocate for personal transformation, Veronica combines practical wisdom with heartfelt storytelling to encourage others to embrace life's transitions with courage, resilience, and hope. Through keynote presentations, coaching programs, workshops, books, and online resources, she reminds audiences that every ending holds the possibility of a meaningful new beginning. Veronica's powerful message has reached audiences through her TEDx talks, professional conferences, leadership events, and community organizations. She is also an accomplished actress and singer who continues to perform with her band, Crystal Whiskey, believing that creativity is one of life's greatest gifts and a powerful path to healing and connection.

Her commitment to serving others extends into her community through Soroptimist International of Oxnard, where she helps empower women and girls through education, mentorship, and service. She believes that one of life's greatest privileges is helping others recognize their own potential. Today, Veronica enjoys life along the Southern California coast with her partner, Eric, where the ocean, nature, and music continually remind her that growth is not about becoming someone new-it's about remembering who you've always been. Her mission is simple: to help people embrace life's transitions with confidence, choose themselves without apology, and create lives filled with purpose, joy, and authenticity. Because when life changes¿ what remains is you.
