Positive Psychology Coaching for Women

Quiet
the Noise.
Feel Lighter.

Life accumulates — tension, clutter, obligations, distraction. What if happiness isn't something you build, but something you uncover?

About Theresa

A Guide, Not a Guru

I'm Theresa Bundgaard — a certified positive psychology coach, author, former teacher, and a woman who has done her own work of clearing. I know what it feels like to carry more than you should. And I know what it feels like when things get quiet enough that you can finally hear yourself again.

My book Optimizing Happiness grew out of my own search for what truly makes us well — not temporarily pleased, but genuinely, quietly content. It became the foundation for everything I now offer women who are ready for something real.

My Story

The Book's Framework

Six Happiness Habits

Not a checklist. A way of clearing — slowly, honestly, and with intention.

01

Protect Your Inner Peace

Learning to guard your quiet as fiercely as anything else you value.

02

Cultivate Gratitude

Not as a practice to perform, but as a way of truly seeing your life.

03

Discover What Genuinely Delights You

Waking up to the small, real things that nourish rather than numb.

04

Identify Your Values

Knowing what you actually stand for — and aligning your life around it.

05

Accomplish & Contribute

The deep satisfaction of doing something meaningful — for yourself and others.

06

Live Slowly & Simply

Being a good steward of your time and energy on this earth.
