At the beginning of 2022 I was struggling
2020 was a year filled with a series of traumatic events
And over the following months I had slowly sunk into depression and panic attacks
I didn’t even realize how bad it was until the beginning of 2022 when I started asking myself what the point of this life thing actually is
that scared the hell out of me
As someone who had felt on fire with excitement for life for many of the years
I hadn’t expected to reach a low place ever again
But with the traumatic events I had let go of most of the habits and practices that I knew were scientifically proven to boost mood
That low propelled me into action
I returned to my dietetic trainings
I returned to the science of happiness
I focused on raising my vibration
I implemented habits + practices that I knew were scientifically proven to boost mood
It took a few months
But from Jan to June I noticed a big shift
I started to feel content and while I wasn’t yet the vibrant version of myself
I could tell I was headed in the right direction
By October people from my social media community were reaching out commenting on how vibrant and happy I felt
They were right, I was happy
By December of 2022
I was sitting at my desk writing a post for instagram
I started to reflect on how I was feeling at the beginning of the year
Tears started to stream down my face
Life FELTED so wildly different
Nothing had really changed
But I was happy
My heart was full
I felt alive and inspired
I was excited to live life again
And that was also the moment I realized I needed to share this information with the world
I needed to get these tools into the hands of the everyday human wanting to live a life that FEELs different
For every human who wants to be HAPPIER, HEALTHIER and MORE VIBRANT
This inspiration would become the formation of what we call the Happiness Academy
This is how the program works. Each month you’ll be given not only the information to change your life but also the support and accountability to implement these new habits, tools and practices.
While each month has a theme you to focus on if you’re struggling with one area in particular you can start there. [Please note that in 2023 the content will not be available until the month it’s scheduled for]

Dietitian Shelby Rose worked as a clinical dietitian for four years. During her time in clinical she served as the national subject matter expert on the low FODMAP diet, implemented various nutrition for mental health and addiction classes and specialized in functional health.
She became passionate about holistic wellness after she struggled with brain fog, slurred speech and memory impairments while working as a clinical RD. Her own health struggles propelled her to create the gut protocol you’ll see inside of the happiness academy. This protocol has played a pivotal role in improving her memory, energy and even body weight distribution due to decreased inflammation.
In 2020 Shelby experienced an emotional trauma in her personal life that lead to depression and a general feeling of what is the point of this all. In 2022 she hit an emotional rock bottom and committed to implementing the practices and tools she shares in this program. Within 9 months her whole world changed and she realized how big of a biological factor to happiness we are missing.
