Listen Later

Carin Rockind is a leading happiness expert, motivational speaker, and the creator of PurposeGirl, a movement to empower purpose-driven living. She has taught thousands of people real-life strategies to reclaim their happiness, and live to their fullest potential of success and well-being. Having survived domestic abuse, divorce, and armed robbery, she teaches others to be resilient through stress and grow from trauma.

After fifteen years as a marketing executive, Carin pursued her great passion: teaching women to thrive. Carin was one of the first 250 people in the world to earn a Masters degree in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she has also served as adjunct faculty. Carin speaks at large companies worldwide and is a regular contributor to national media such as NBC, CBS, PBS, and NPR. She recently launched Women's Global Happiness Day in over fifty cities around the globe.

Listen in to hear Carin share:

  • How being held a gunpoint changed the trajectory of her life
  • Why women are less happy today than 30 years ago
  • How we ignore living in our own bodies - because we’re conditioned to try to live in men’s bodies
  • Why happiness sometimes actually sucks
  • How her second miscarriage at age 43 sent her into a deep depression and then inspired her to launch Women’s Global Happiness Day
  • The power, beauty, and opportunity of Post Traumatic Growth
