A six months transformational journey

For women like you who want to transition from stress, worry, and negativity and instead RESET your brains for a heart-coherent life full of happiness, purpose, and freedom to thrive.

You want so badly to be "that woman." You know the one I'm talking about, right? the one with. . .

successful in her career path, clear eyes and purposeful steps that let's the world know she is valuable and can do anything she decides to do.
a contagious smile that attracts people because they can sense her calm peace, and bubbling joy.
the ability to show empathy and compassion at the same time she is assertive enough to forge her own path.

You feel you are far from being "that woman." Instead, you tend to. . .

complain to your friends and family about your hard and unhappy life in all its variations (work, divorce, children, friends, etc.).
read many self-help books and listen to inspirational podcasts without doing anything different.
make many efforts to "improve" your life but fall flat on your face.

Let's face it. . .

You are tired of struggling and want to recapture or develop the happy fulfilling life of your dreams. Change and transitions can be tough. You thought reaching your next milestone would make you happy, but you have tried on your own to turn the tide of negativity, and are tired of failing time and again. You feel drained instead of fully alive. You keep falling into depression, anxiety, and stress, and you fear that you can't get your life together.

You are wondering. . .

Will I ever live my dreams and find the happiness I crave, or will I continue to feel like a failure?

The good news is that You DO have a choice!

OR you could. . .

By the end of our journey together you would have learned to listen to your heart, love with gratitude, think with wisdom, and flourish! Fasten your seatbelt! Feel the wind under your wings! We are about to take off!!

We will. . .

Why can you trust me as your guide?

I’m Dr. Ada Gonzalez, a Psychotherapist, coach, and change expert who has successfully worked with many people from different parts of the world for more than 30 years with tremendous success. I help women transform their lives. As an expert traveler, I can help you navigate important life transitions and safely conquer new challenges in your life while listening to your heart and designing your best self so you can enjoy a thriving life. I’m ON A MISSION TO MOVE WOMEN FROM SURVIVING MODE INTO THRIVING!

I know what surviving mode is like. . .

I grew up in communist Cuba. For many years, because of the political and educational restrictions, I was just surviving. Then at 18 years old, I left Cuba for Costa Rica via Spain. On that journey, I faced many challenges: different cultures, no money, no friends, and no family. Talk about surviving mode!

Yet, in spite of the many obstacles, somewhere along the way I decided to include in my learning how to enjoy the life of freedom I had embraced. I had learned how to be miserable in Cuba, now it was time to learn how to thrive away from Cuba.

I left Cuba with a great thirst for knowledge because due to political reasons I had to stop going to school after 6th grade. So, in the next 1 1/2 years in Costa Rica I finished 6-12 grades and in the next 5 years as a Foreign Student in the USA I succeeded in achieving a bachelor of music, with classical piano as my major. I then went on to finish a MA in Educational and Developmental Psychology. I not only had to conquer finances and relationships but also struggle and learned a new language.

Back in Costa Rica, where I had married and had my children, and because I wanted to be home with my children, I started my journey into entrepreneurship, without having many ideas on how to be successful at it.

Meanwhile, my marriage was not going well. I was trying to keep my family together but it was rough going. Yet, I promised myself I was not going to let the difficulties in my relationship rob me of my personal joy. Therefore, although I was not happy as a wife, I was able to keep growing as a mother and flourishing as an individual.

After an interval of 11 years in Mexico, where I saw my children grow and thrive, we moved to the USA permanently in 1997. By then I was a Marriage and Family Therapist. For 27 years I had stayed in a very joyless marriage where the only plus side was my two children. Being a relationship expert already I had tried everything I thought I knew to make things better. But no matter how hard I tried, nothing worked! Finally, I decided to divorce and move from Michigan to Texas.

It was not easy to feel I had failed at what I was an expert on. Yet, fast forward several years and I met a wonderful man who was committed to us: to show up, own up, and grow up together. We have been married for more than 12 years now and our connection, joy, and intimacy only get better each year.

I started a doctoral program at the end of 2000, and by 2004, at the age of 52, I completed a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary studies with an emphasis on leadership development, adult learning, dialogue, and change. A year later I moved to Germany for 2 years on a totally different adventure as a contractor for the USA military doing Marriage and Family Therapy for soldiers and their families at the Army Airbase in Wiesbaden.

Because I have had to wade through all kinds of transitions all my life–cultural, personal, work and relationship–because of my extensive training, and through working with thousands of women, I have discover how it's possible to live a thriving life no matter the circumstances. That’s how I developed this program, Flourishing Heart: From surviving to thriving. Now I want to share it with the world! I want to share it with YOU!

Dare to dream again!

I love traveling and have been able to live in and visit many countries. That's probably why I envision this program as a journey. I want to invite you to Dare to dream again! Join me in this series of Transformative Conversations® that will relight the spark of hope and bring happiness back into your life.

This is my signature coaching program for women who want to get out of their comfort zone, stop spinning their wheels, and start living their dream. It is a unique coaching package. I teach the basic knowledge, strategies, and practical skills that can help you rewrite your life story. Having the right mindset and attitude is the foundation for a happy life. Clients have told me that before we worked together they were stuck thinking that a happy life wasn’t even an option for them anymore.

This program is for you if you can’t envision yourself being happy, are currently so busy that you hardly take time for yourself or for fun anymore, and your days have morphed into something that feels, in the best of days boring and stressful, and in the worst of days as if you are your worst enemy!

Use your fears as compass
Discover negative thoughts that keep you stuck
See with new positive eyes, think with new positive pathways
Take discomfort in stride. Start acting “as if.”

Months 3 and 4

strategize to succeed
