The founder of The Institute of WOMAN and Women’s Happiness Day, Carin Rockind, MAPP, is on a mission to free women of self-doubt, systemic trauma-based fears, and limiting beliefs so that they rise in their fierce feminine power to lead this world from radiance and aliveness. As one of the leading experts in women's happiness, she is a sought after speaker, teacher, and retreat leader who has empowered tens of thousands of women to not just survive – but THRIVE and love their lives. After surviving domestic violence, armed robbery, miscarriages and infertility, she turned her pain into purpose and became a marathon runner, new mom at 45, and keynote speaker for Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Capital One, and LinkedIn. Repeatedly, clients say she is the best speaker they've ever had with powerful storytelling, proven research, practical tools, and candid humor. She is a published author of “Wonderful YOU”, and her show, The PurposeGirl Podcast has 600,000 downloads. She was one of the first 250 people in the world with a Masters degree in positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she also taught undergraduate courses. When she's not leading women's retreats in Paris or Avalon, she can be found home outside of Philadelphia with her hubby, toddler and labradoodle puppy.
