Relentless Optimism & Other Life Goals

What if the worst thing that ever happened to you became the breakthrough that set you free? We all hit detours, but sometimes, the detour is the destination.

That’s the heart of Relentless Optimism & Other Life Goals – a powerful exploration of how mindset and courage can move us from fear to empowerment, and from setback to springboard.

In this transformative blend of memoir and guidebook, Rya Hazelwood shares her raw, unforgettable journey through betrayal, emotional abuse and trauma, and how she turned it all into fuel for radical healing, unshakable confidence and a life she truly loves.

From discovering her husband’s secret double life to overcoming gaslighting and manipulation in both life and business, Rya doesn’t hold back. Through pain, challenge and hard-won resilience, she learned to rewrite her story … and now she’s here to help you do the same.

Relentless Optimism & Other Life Goals isn’t just a story of survival. It’s a love letter to anyone who’s ever felt broken – and a roadmap back to your power. Inside, you'll find:

  • An unforgettable story that reminds you: you are not alone

  • The real-life strategies Rya used to reclaim her self-worth after narcissistic abuse

  • Tools to break free from toxic patterns and emotional manipulation

  • Mindset shifts that move you from self-doubt to self-trust

  • Practical steps to help you create a life that feels aligned, empowered and free


You don’t need permission or perfect timing. The journey back to hope and happiness begins the moment you choose yourself.

Relentless optimism isn’t about pretending everything’s fine; it’s about honoring what’s hard or hurtful, and choosing healing and forward motion anyway.

You’ll walk away inspired and empowered with clarity, courage and a mindset that transforms challenge into momentum.

Order now and start writing the next chapter of your life – fully, bravely and authentically you.

Fast Facts: 

Life throws curveballs at all of us. Here are just a few I’ve faced  and overcome:

  • A rickshaw ride in Beijing that unexpectedly turned into a short-term kidnapping.

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

  • A brief marriage to a now ex-husband who was secretly planning another wedding with a woman halfway around the world.

  • Navigating an accidental career in corporate event planning.

  • Creating an intentional career in motivational speaking.

  • Marriage to — and divorce from — an alcoholic.

  • A dragon stuck in her garage (ok, it was just a lizard).

  • Spending a transformative year living abroad in Madrid.

  • The emotionally and physically demanding journey of IVF.

  • The heartbreaking death of my children’s father.

  • Writing a book.

  • Launching a new career in my 40s.

Through every twist, challenge and heartbreak, one constant has guided me forward: relentless optimism. Not blind positivity, but the kind that keeps you moving, even when the road is steep.

 

You Can Too

No matter what life throws your way, you have the power to rise above. Whether you're facing personal turmoil, professional setbacks, or a season of uncertainty, resilience is within your reach.

 

I’ve been there. I get it. And I know firsthand that a single mindset shift can change everything.

Let’s reframe, rise and lead with relentless optimism  together.
