– “Positive life shifts, new perspectives and a true sense of community are just a few of the profound benefits that I gained from participating in LOYT. At a time when I felt like my world was crumbling right before me, this opportunity revealed itself. The process was full of ‘ah-ha!’ moments, raw emotion, and enlightenment. Michael created a group space that was safe and accepting. I felt very comfortable being open and vulnerable with people I have never met and was moved by their vulnerability. Learning from others’ experiences was an invaluable part of the course and I look forward to continuing my journey with my new community in LOYT” –

– “This program was a game-changer. In only four weeks, I felt monumental shifts in my perspective. I was always a giver and a people-pleaser. I learned the importance of self-care, flipping the switch to not being reactive to situations, and setting goals in my life. I was able to work with my building manager to find a solution to a crisis as well as negotiate with two of my bosses to let them know they were making unreasonable demands on my time without proper compensation. I am becoming more assertive without taking others for granted. I am grateful for everything I have and am experiencing positive feedback as a result. Michael's examples and personalized attention, when needed, really made the program come alive for me. I am forever in his debt.” –
