Quick summary

After years of self-sacrifice left Mónica depleted and depressed, her partner encouraged her to join this program. Through it, she rediscovered joy, hope, and the belief that happiness is possible at any age.

Translated from Spanish by AI. Mónica wrote this story in Spanish.

My dear Jon and Missy: Before joining the program I was going through a deep depression. I'm currently in Peru, but I lived in Japan for 19 years, working for many years Monday to Sunday, morning, afternoon and night, and I never achieved anything I dreamed of. My beliefs were: give, help, without thinking of myself. People took advantage of me and I lost absolutely everything. I didn't go to parties, I didn't buy anything for myself, I paid family debts, other people's debts, and I lost my dreams, my hopes and my life. I came to Peru to die, I had nothing. Not recovering financially frustrates me a lot, I can't study. I met my boyfriend and I started to believe again, he has been my unconditional support. Even so I felt depressed because I want to get married and it causes me deep pain to leave my parents, who depend on me. THANKS TO THIS PROGRAM, I have recovered my joy and the hope that despite my 42 years I can be happy. My boyfriend, seeing me in a bad way, decided that we would both join this program. I didn't want to but he insisted. By taking this program I was able to identify the mistakes I'm making in each of the categories and that I now have to work on. This program is my inspiration and my rebirth. Infinitely grateful. Now my life is full of light, hope, and hand in hand with God I can do anything. Every one of the videos has been spectacular, I'm left speechless. Thank you Jon and Missy for being a source of inspiration and love. Infinite thanks!!!
