At the age of 36, all that success was challenged. Silver was diagnosed with clinical depression coupled with alcoholism. She was told she'd been depressed since age 5 when she'd been abused by a neighbor and kept it secret. Once an adult, she had feverishly stacked up accomplishments to prove she was “okay”. She had been hiding from the truth.Her story, far from sad, is one of triumph over circumstances. Through hard work and determination, she slowly and surely began the recovery process. Along the way, she acquired useful knowledge, which she now shares with others. In all her work, she reveals the tools and techniques she used to evolve from “depressed” to “un-depressed” and ultimately to “happy.”Connect with Silver :Website & Free Happiness Hacks: https://silverhappiness.comFree E-book - Email Silver: Silver@SilverSpeaks.com Connect with Debbie:Website – Books, Online Courses, Podcasts: https://www.selfpowernow.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DebbieGisonniPage/IG: https://www.instagram.com/debbiegisonni/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dgisonni/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DebbieGisonni

About Jill Thiry: Jill Thiry is a lifelong “student of change.” Her first job was teaching aerobic dance and swimming for the YWCA in Madison, Wisconsin, which was followed by teaching kayaking and skiing in the Alps . After completing her MBA, she enjoyed a decades-long run in high-tech publishing, creating and managing many brands in the Bay Area and New York. During a transformative week-long stay at Rancho La Puerta, post 911, Jill discovered the importance of mindful practice in her life.  She started creating easily identified tasks for her family to ensure desired changes, which eventually evolved into an 8-step process for and with friends. The effectiveness of the program became clearly evident with zoom sessions during the pandemic and led her to create Club Change, where participants support each other in making the necessary choices to enhance their bodies, minds, spirits, and communities.  When Jill is not leading Club Change Zoom events, she guides guests at Rancho La Puerta through the docent program and teaches chant, swimming, hiking pole use, and intention setting and practicing.  Connect with Jill: Website: https://jillthiry.com/ (https://jillthiry.com/) Connect with Debbie: Website – Books, Online Courses, Podcasts: https://www.selfpowernow.com/ (https://www.selfpowernow.com) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DebbieGisonniPage/ (https://www.facebook.com/DebbieGisonniPage/) IG: https://www.instagram.com/debbiegisonni/ (https://www.instagram.com/debbiegisonni/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dgisonni/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dgisonni/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DebbieGisonni (https://www.youtube.com/user/DebbieGisonni)
