Relentless Optimism & Other Life Goals

What if the hardest chapter of your life became the turning point that set you free?

Life rarely unfolds exactly as we plan. Detours happen. Setbacks appear. And sometimes the path forward looks nothing like the one we imagined.

 

But what if the detour isn’t the end of the story?

What if it’s the beginning of something better?


That’s the heart of Relentless Optimism & Other Life Goals – a powerful blend of memoir and mindset guide that explores how courage, perspective and resilience can transform life’s most difficult moments into the foundation for a stronger, more authentic future.


In this deeply personal and ultimately uplifting story, Rya Hazelwood shares her journey through unexpected life upheaval, betrayal and emotional manipulation – and the mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her voice, rebuild her confidence and create a life she truly loves.

Through honesty, humor and hard-won wisdom, she reveals how the philosophy of Relentless Optimism became the strategy that carried her forward.

 

This book is not about pretending everything is fine. It’s about learning to face what’s hard, reclaim your power and move forward with clarity, courage and self-trust.

 

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • A powerful true story that reminds you you’re not alone

  • The mindset shifts that helped Rya reclaim her confidence and self-worth

  • Tools to recognize and break free from toxic patterns

  • Strategies for rebuilding trust in yourself and your future

  • Practical steps for creating a life that feels aligned, empowered and free

 

At its core, Relentless Optimism & Other Life Goals is a story of reinvention.

 

It’s for anyone who has ever wondered if life could feel lighter, clearer or more aligned than it does right now. 

 

Because relentless optimism isn’t blind positivity. It’s the courage to acknowledge what’s hard – and choose forward motion anyway.

If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, rewrite your story and step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and confidence, this book will help show you the way.

A Few Fast Facts:

Life has taken me on some unexpected adventures. Here are just a few highlights along the way:

  • A rickshaw ride in Beijing that unexpectedly turned into a short-term kidnapping (yes, really).

  • Building and eventually selling a multi-million-dollar-per-year business.

  • An accidental career in corporate event planning that eventually led to sharing the message of Relentless Optimis from the stage.

  • Creating a second career as a speaker, author and mindset strategist.

  • Spending a transformative year living abroad in Madrid.

  • Navigating the rollercoaster journey of IVF.

  • Raising two incredible boys who keep life equal parts joyful and chaotic.

  • Writing a book.

  • Launching a brand-new chapter of life and career in my 40s.

  • A dragon stuck in my garage (ok, it was technically a lizard).

Through every twist and unexpected turn, one constant has guided me forward: Relentless Optimism. Not blind positivity, but the kind that keeps you moving forward even when the road gets steep.
