ABOUT US
Stronger Together
Change is the essence of life, and that led us to build on our foundation of creating programs on Financial Wellbeing, and Health and Wellness for more than 10 years in Palm Beach.
Our original programs focused primarily on Financial Education so we could achieve mastery over our personal finances.
Today we are taking a more expansive and Holistic approach towards finances because Financial Wellbeing isn’t just about money. It’s multi-dimensional influencing every aspect of life. Having a healthy and balanced relationship with money is key to overall mental and physical health, and reducing money-related stress and anxiety.
We expanded our focus to include health and wellness issues and created Happiness Club Palm Beach, for all of us, women and men. Our motto is “Making Happiness a Choice”.
Amazing things happen when we make happiness a choice. Happiness isn’t something that just happens to us, our circumstances do not make us happy or unhappy, but our thoughts about them do. It’s what we do every day to bring it into our lives. Lifestyle choices can have a profound effect on our satisfaction with life and feeling happy, being healthy, socially connected, and purposeful.
The Happiness Club was inspired by Dr. Bernie Siegel, pediatric surgeon and author of Love, Medicine & Miracles. He believes happiness is a conscious choice, essential to the healing process, and the most powerful skill that can be learned: “Happiness is an inside job.”
Ask this simple yet profound question: “How do I want to live my life?”
Personal growth is a lifelong process. Our programs on Wealth, Health, Happiness, and Spirituality will inspire, motivate, and empower you with attitudes, skills, and resources to thrive. We started this foundation because we care about ourselves and others, and want our lives to be better.
All we have is now, the present moment, so live it the best way you can.
Wealth
We like this definition of “Wealth”: “An abundance of valuable possessions, or money.” It’s what comes before money that’s important. Our health, relationships, passions, purpose, faith… this is our treasure, these are our valuable possessions. Acquiring an abundance mindset about life keeps money in proper perspective.
Wealth means something different to everyone and influences how we go about building a meaningful life. Creating wealth is a process which incorporates healthy, productive habits to pave a path to freedom to fully experience life on our terms, to do what we enjoy, spend time how we wish, with whomever, wherever.
Our net-worth, regardless of the value, is not our self-worth. It’s just money, its not who we are. The Buddhists have a saying: “Contentment is the greatest wealth”.
Health
Without health we don’t have wealth. That’s true. Personal finance and health are intricately linked because financial stress and feelings about money can affect our physical and emotional health. Stressors come from not knowing or not having information and making emotional decisions around money.
We achieve financial wellbeing and improve our relationship with money when we balance the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects. A successful life is one lived well and making a living should not come at the expense of making a life.
We improve wellbeing with empowering knowledge, essential life skills, and key practices that support our health and vitality. We’re able to cope better and engage our strengths. Our outcome will be feeling good and functioning effectively. Resilience comes from confidence.
Happiness
Positive emotions and the benefits of being happy are linked in scientific studies with better health, longer life, and overall well-being. Happiness isn’t something that happens to us. It’s what we do every day to bring it into our lives with relationships and activities that spark our joy.
Life is a journey that brings sometimes good, sometimes bad. We introduce ways to handle bad times to create a more positive and happy life. When you’re happy you can increase your endurance for dealing with life’s problems.
Many amazing speakers and members have shared their stories that touched our heart and spirit about making that choice and finding ways to handle the bad times and create a positive happy life.
Speakers are committed to creating a happier and caring world. We “Pay it forward” by helping as many people reach their full potential of Happiness.
Spirituality
Spirituality is a worldview and way of life based on the belief that there is more to the universe than the material side of life. Our journey in this lifetime is to grow and gain deeper awareness of our higher purpose and meaningful connection to something greater than ourselves. Our Spirit is an energy force, a divine spark that unites all living things, humans, and the natural world, with God and the universe. It’s through our spirit that we have meaning and purpose. When we awaken to this deeper dimension, our internal compass guides us to align our passions with our values through our talents to understand our life purpose. There’s an often repeated saying that we are not humans having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience.
Our holistic view of spirituality also takes into consideration money. Money is an energy source which can fuel heart-centered projects and causes. Use this resource towards the fulfilment of your values for the greater good.
Our Community
Discover a vibrant and positively inspired group of like minds and hearts. We created an amazing community and social network of creators, entrepreneurs, financial experts, wellness and light workers celebrating Wealth, Health & Happiness. We enjoy getting together at our events to make new friends, connect with old friends, chat, learn, share experiences and good vibes!

“I wasn’t always a winner. Heck, I was a loser for decades. A sugar addict and junk food junkie for 45 years, I shouldn’t be alive today. My epitaph would have read ‘Death by doughnuts and Dove Bars’. Twenty years ago, overweight, newly divorced, without direction and unemployed I began studying the mindset of Olympic athletes, Navy SEALs, and Greek philosophers. I developed a unique mental toughness program to overcome my negative attitude, lack of direction and life-threatening sugar addiction. Wow did I get results! I won a gold medal in Olympic Weightlifting at age 63, I’m sugar free, mentally strong and vibrant. I am winning in many areas of my life because I consistently do hard things. It’s 80% mindset, 20% muscle. ” https://www.lauraeiman.com

Debby’s mission is to warn singles about con-artists who lurk on dating apps and websites. Millions of unsuspecting people are scammed out of millions of dollars every day around the world. The scammers are well-trained. They have playbooks. It is a billion-dollar business. “Most of the victims don’t speak up.

Debby works with the Society of Citizens Against Relationship Scams (SCARS), a worldwide nonprofit cybercrime victims’ assistance, support, and advocacy organization. “Every second, somebody is being scammed by somebody.

Hadley Williams, AIF®, founder and CEO of Campbell Williams, Independent Investment Consultants, hosted our popular Financial Education Seminars to provide concepts and working knowledge for the long-term investor to optimize their personal goals and investment outcomes. The objective is to impart sufficient understanding of how investment portfolios should be managed, and the ability to have a knowledgeable dialogue with an advisor/broker. Topics included: arriving at suitable Investment Strategies, participating in on-going decision making, and evaluating overall performance on the investments and the advisor/broker/firm. Managing your wealth should not be a reactive affair based on what’s happening in the markets at any given moment. Rather, it should be a disciplined process based on a strategic analysis of your future needs and tried and proven methods of investing over the long-run. Any investment firm is only as good as the people behind it. Hadley founded Coral Gables-based Campbell Williams in 1995 to provide those services with a focus on client education, transparency, proven management tools, proprietary research, institutional level reporting and analysis and active management of managers. Campbell Williams prides itself on working as an independent firm with no conflicts of interest or dependencies on other firms and focusing on the specific circumstances and needs of each client. Hadley and his team have extensive knowledge of management processes, global economies, markets, and investments. “We are very proud of our advisory capabilities and believe we are unique in the industry. We use our expertise to serve you and only you.” https://www.campbellwilliams.com/
