MONTVALE, NJ—Saying that “It is said that surrendering is the key to true happiness,” the Hills-Valley Coalition asks, “What if you surrendered to the idea of not hating yourself, not comparing yourself to others, breaking bad habits and letting go of perfectionism? Once you begin to break the old cycles, lean into your fears, heal your inner child, and peel the layers away, it is possible to live a happier and more authentic life.”
That’s the invitation to HVC’s keynote speech, April 12 at 7 p.m. at Pascack Hills High School.
The keynote speaker is recovery expert and award winning television personality Marci Hopkins, who will share tips on how you can “surrender” to happiness “and how you can help your children live a life without comparison and create a strong foundation from which they can grow.
HVC coordinators Jen Charnow and Jennifer Zimmermann say that out of a life filled with struggle Hopkins found sobriety “and is now living a life beyond her wildest dreams. Come let her give you the tools to do the same.” Hopkins is host of “Wake Up With Marci” on WLNY/CBS New York and author of “Chaos to Clarity: Seeing the Signs.” Her website says she’s “a fearless voice in television who tackles a wide range of issues on her show, including mental health, domestic violence, divorce, addiction, trauma, social impact, health, wellness, and more. Over a cup of coffee, she has candid conversations with her guests, with a mission to inspire and empower her audience while spreading hope and happiness. She is a mother of two, philanthropist, sexual abuse survivor and is six years sober.”
