Darlene's Story
For as long as I can remember, my Dad was sick – mostly with chronic illnesses. As a young girl, I wished
I could save him, but I was just a kid. So when I grew up, I decided to teach others to live healthier lives.
It was while teaching health at UCLA that I realized something profound -- many students weren’t healthy because they weren’t happy.
A Crash Course On Life
Think about it. When you’re unhappy, you’re more likely to overeat, lose sleep or literally worry yourself sick. My students didn’t need a class on health; they needed a crash course on life. They needed to learn how to deal with life's ups and downs; to become strong and resilient. So I created a course to do just that.
Thirty women applied to my first class, and by the end of the semester, 100% said their lives were better in every way -- their relationships improved, they were more successful in their work, and everything "felt easier." In essence, they were happier. Word spread, and within 18 months, the number of applicants to my class jumped from 30 to 700.*
I Struck A Nerve
I was elated to see my system work. But I was totally unprepared for what happened next. Many of my students told me their mothers called them weekly to talk about the class lessons. One mother even started a discussion group with other women using her daughter's course notes.
I realized I'd struck a nerve. We all have so many responsibilities and pressures in life. We want simple, step-by-step techniques to transcend the day-to-day, and be happy. We need an emotional toolkit.
That’s why I’ve taken my system to you. Through my seminars, writing, and newsletter, I share the same techniques I've shared with thousands of people of all ages. Using practical strategies and stories, I'll show you how to create wellbeing from within, overcome obstacles, and live the life you truly want. And that's something to be happy about.
