I believe that, for the most part, we are all doing the best we can. People need to be seen, trusted, and validated. I hold a deep belief that each of us carries an inner wisdom about what we need for ourselves. I often find myself in the role of helping folks bridge the gap between where they are and where we want to be. I believe in dreaming big to imagine the life we want based on our individual values & goals, and then taking tangible steps toward building a life that reflects our true selves.
I am fascinated by the diversity of minds, identities, and lived experiences around me and how we each navigate this world. It is a true honor when someone feels safe to show who they really are, and it is in those authentic, safe spaces that healing and growth happen. In my journey to better understand the human experience, I obtained a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in LGBTQ+ Studies from San Diego State University. I then studied leadership through a whole person well-being lens, earning an M.A. in Happiness Studies from Centenary University. This path of learning provided the framework around what I already knew to be true- people thrive when they are safe, trusted, and empowered.

“To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble.” ― Bill Watterson
"After years in heart-based professions like social services and education, I reached my professional career goal, only to find the stress overwhelming and the workload impossible. The motivational quotes I posted in my office felt ironic as bureaucracy piled up, leaving me jaded and bitter. Happiness 101 offered simple, real-world ideas that helped me refocus on being kind to myself, appreciating my efforts, and recognizing that it's okay to do what I can without the pressure to do more than humanly possible."

"The Happiness Workshop (Artistic Expression Edition) is a great workshop if you want to be happy but just can’t figure out how to be, no matter what you try! Even if you think, “Hey, I’m already happy”, you’ll learn why that is! At least, that’s how it was for me! They gave us tools and strategies that really take you to the depths of your feelings in a very relatable way! Strategies that you can return to and reflect on time and time again! It was and is, time well spent!" Linda B. November 2024
