Episode 37 Heather Young-Lira

In this episode of the Good Neighbors of Texas Podcast, we sit down with Heather Young-Lira, founder of the Lost Pines Learning Collective—a powerful community-driven resource connecting families across Bastrop County with education, enrichment, and support.

What started as a simple spreadsheet to help her own family has grown into a thriving ecosystem of over 250 local resources, built on relationships, listening, and a deep passion for helping others navigate their unique educational journeys.

From supporting neurodivergent learners to empowering parents and educators alike, Heather is redefining what education can look like—proving that when community comes together, new doors open.
