After suffering a heart breaking tragedy I knew that in order to help my family recover I needed to get myself to a healthy spot. 21 Days to Happiness gives me daily reminders of who I am and how to find my happiness once again.

As a Chief Psychiatrist I placed myself and seven of my staff in this process in order to maintain the mental health of my colleagues. We then were better able to support our patients.

On my way to the retreat, I was contemplating how I would take my own life, as I had been thinking about it for some time. After this process with Laurie I realized as I left, suicide was the last thing on my mind.

When I joined the teens program, I was going through a tough time, having just lost my Dad. These workshops, along with my professional care, really helped me over that big loss in my life.

I have always known what I needed to do to stay healthy, but many times I would fall off the wagon and not be able to stay on track with my health goals. This process really helped me to stay motivated, and with the weekly support of my new friends after the 40 workshops, I was well on my way to taking responsibility for my own self-care.
