“Overcoming all the old negative patterns and learning to see things as they are has helped me the most”

“We have experienced something unique and wonderful to carry forward and share with loved ones.  Keep it going!! I know I feel different, look at things differently, am more optimistic than ever before.”

“I included Robin and Nancy and the pathways URL in the program acknowledgements because I really don't think I would have made it through unscathed without everyone's support and what I learned in the class!” (from a playwright)

“I've been participating in Robin and Nancy's Pathways to Happiness program and it's made such an amazing and positive impact in my life.  I feel less stressed, more focused on doing what's healthy and right for me, more at ease with some painful experiences from the past, and just an overall light-heartedness.  They are amazing coaches (plus this is cheaper than your average coaching or counseling - if you decide to sign up for all their classes).”

“I have more tools in my toolbox, more confidence in myself. I did some healing, gained more self awareness. I am amazed at the deep connection with a group community of love and support that was created. You/the course totally delivered on the purpose. You gave use very practical, effective tools to become more aware of our outlooks and to become more positive/happy/optimistic. I am much more conscious of my outlook and mood. I no longer see these as involuntary states of being, but ones that I can choose to be in or change. That is incredibly liberating and empowering. I feel like I am much happier because I now know how to choose it and act to make it happen.”

“You gave me a context, a framework and a “tool box” for working on my optimism and happiness. I use these tools to get back to my “best self” when I get off course. I thought some of the meditations were terrific, and I was surprised they worked so well over the phone. Some of the group hugs at the end made me tingle – like we were all in the same room together. But the informal discussions were always lively and useful, when I found a soul mate on the other end of the phone, it was fabulous. This is the best course I have ever taken. You delivered on what you promised.”

“Early in this course, I noticed that I did not reach out to people I like because I had an assumption that they would not want to hear from me. That was a movie I played in my head based on how life seemed to me when I was a child! When I began instead to collect and revisit instances when people have been delighted to see me or hear from me, times when I felt loved and appreciated, these memories and feelings encouraged me to make the phone call, write the e-mail, send the message. I began reaching out to people that I like. This has been so rewarding! My beliefs were making me a lonely depressed person! And they had nothing to do with current reality.”

“It has helped me to continue in my efforts to focus on the positive and work on making some of the changes I’ve been trying to make for the past few years.

It has helped me to see that other people are also struggling with some of the same issues in different forms. It has helped me to deal better with some of my insecurities about family relationships and feeling loved. You were both excellent and sensitive leaders”
