You probably graduated school with big dreams and expectations — you were going places! Most likely, you found a job that was good enough. If you were lucky, you landed the dream job. It was all happy hours, gold stars, pleasing your boss/clients/parents, and defining yourself by your job (or lack of!).
But suddenly it hit you — The real world? It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. You come to the alarming realization that “this” is not where you thought you’d be. “This” sucks. “This” makes you cringe when the alarm goes off in the morning.
You feel stuck, not able to live your dreams because of your current reality. Or maybe you feel lost, having forgotten your dreams all together. Perhaps you’re not sure what the **** you’re supposed to do next, disappointed that your day-to-day isn’t living up to all your expectations, overwhelmed by the millions of possibilities out there, or just feel totally unlike your awesome self.
Welcome to the Quarterlife Crisis.
I get it because I was there 4 years ago. I was there, drinking wine, bitching, moping, feeling like a failure, and finally, finally doing something about it.
Being rather dramatic, I sold everything I owned and set off with my boyfriend and backpack to travel around the world for a year. I filled 3 journals, ate a ridiculous amount of street food, learned how to meditate, reconnected with the part of myself that loved to teach/inspire/lead and committed to helping savvy 20 and 30 somethings conquer their Quarterlife Crisis.
I get that this is probably not YOUR path. I’m a natural nomad, so for me, it was useful and exhilarating. But world travel is hard, quitting your job without any back up is scary, and convincing your friends and parents that you’re not crazy takes some time.
The cool part? The “personal work” I did while I traveled, the process of thinking and writing about your life in a fresh new way can be done anywhere, at any time. With the right questions, exercises, support- you can reconnect with who you are, what you want, and how to get there.
As long as you’re ready to invest the time, you can gain clarity. Forward movement. Trust in yourself and your capability. Joy.
I created The Joy Equation for YOU. Perhaps it’s time to dive in and make your life count, cupcake!

The breaking point in my Quarterlife Crisis came this past summer, when I left an emotionally crippling job and took off on a three month backpacking trip across the country. Traveling was harder than I thought it would be, proving the cliche but oh so true-ness of “wherever you go, there you are.” Constantly on the move, the only solid thing during the first month of my travels was The Joy Equation. Going through this course put me in touch with myself at exactly the right time, gently challenging me to think about who I am, who I want to be, and what I have to do to bridge the widening gap between the two.
The Joy Equation inspired me without being preachy, made me think without being overwhelming, kept me interested without requiring a huge time commitment, and stayed fun all the way through. If you’re passionate about defining what happiness and success mean to you, I couldn’t recommend the course, or Molly, any more strongly.

I found the Joy Equation course at the perfect time. I was in a transition period, nearly six full months into my Quarterlife Crisis, and didn’t know how much I needed joy until I found it. For thirty days, I found myself taking time for me, sorting my priorities, and getting in touch with a version of myself that I hadn’t known for a long time. For thirty days, I felt refreshed, rejuvenated, balanced, full of goals, and ready to tackle my 20s again.
Now two months since the Joy Equation course, I am more focused on my future than ever before. I can tangibly measure the successes I’ve gained thanks to the confidence, the support, and the clarification I found in the course. In addition, I can count on Molly to be there every step of the way, genuinely cheering me on from the sidelines, and being the first to sound the horn of triumph when I’ve met my goals.
The Joy Equation has been a priceless tool in my quest to live up to my potential!

I just finished my Joy Equation Course, and let me tell you, it’s better than any counseling session out there. I would not say I hit rock bottom with my Quarterlife Crisis, but I definitely needed some support. The course is more than life coaching — Molly is working with you to reframe, reshape and redesign your life today and in turn, bring out the best in the years to come — a real gift.
I studied a lot of psychology during my undergraduate years at the University of Michigan, but Molly has pulled a new twist on positive psychology. You don’t leave her sessions feeling like you must solve every life challenge in pain, but rather you finish the journal prompts and audio sessions feeling stronger and bigger than whatever you are going through. That is real joy. And real empowerment.
My friends are amazed at why I always seem to have a smile on my face and ask me why… I usually tell them I’m grateful it’s a beautiful sunny day and that I’m just content. All of this is true of course, but I’m letting out my secret now – the Joy Equation has given new meaning to the word joy in my life and the now I’m doing my part to spread the love!
THE QUARTERLIFE CRISIS
Fact: The Quarterlife Crisis is a real experience of women in their twenties and early thirties. It doesn’t make you any less capable, savvy, sexy or sane. Stop thinking you’re ungrateful or selfish or crazy.
Fact: You are not alone. The Quarterlife Crisis is a Rite of Passage for Gen Y. Embrace it ‘cause we’re all going through it. Use it to grow and learn and laugh hysterically as you make ends meet by dressing up like a Cheddar Cheese Loaf while pursuing your painting or work at Starbucks with your Masters degree in Women’s Studies or live at your parent’s house at the age of 25. It’s okay. You are not alone. And nothing is permanent.
The Joy Equation Course will help you conquer your Quarterlife Crisis and gain some clarity about who you are/what you want. The online, email based course offers you the tools and guidance to identify success on your own terms and start making the big dreams reality by following the four parts of Stratejoy’s Joy Equation:
CONNECT WITH YOURSELF
+
DEFINE SUCCESS
+
CULTIVATE POWERFUL HABITS
+
COMMIT TO YOUR HAPPINESS
=
AUTHENTIC JOY
WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR: Gutsy girls feeling the sting of the Quarterlife Crisis*. 20 and 30 somethings who are ready for some reflection and inspiration to reclaim their life because, well, this is it. This is your life.
Are you living yours? Are you showing up and claiming your right to an authentically joyful life on your terms? Are you kicking butt and taking names and eating peaches?
Why the hell not?
WHO THIS COURSE IS NOT FOR: Those who are not ready for some intense personal exploration or who are just looking for a quick fix. You get out what you put in. Make sure it’s worth it to you…
*Not struggling with a QLC, but interested in joyful living or breaking out of a personal funk? Contact me to see if this Guide and Course would be the right fit for you.

Molly Hoyne walked into my life at the moment I needed her most. By immersing myself in her Joy Equation Course, I embarked on a 30-day journey that has taken me further than I ever thought I could go. Sure, I have always wanted to be happy, but due to my own self-limiting reasons, I always thought true happiness was for “other people” – special people.
Thanks to Molly and her course, I have realized that I am special and I deserve happiness just as much as the next person. Molly was with me every step of the way, cheering on the small victories and pushing me through the hardest days.

When I found out about the Joy Equation, I didn’t really know what I’d gain from it, to be completely honest. I slowly worked through the prompts, in a daze, unsure of what was to come. I was struggling with some intensely personal things, and felt that I couldn’t take the proper time to complete the Joy Equation. Molly was a total super star, and was willing to just get on the phone and “talk life.” It was amazing to have coaching from someone who was completely neutral, open and helpful.
Fast forward a few weeks: I was laid off from my teaching job, and a million other things in my life started to change drastically. I re-opened my Joy Equation and started working through the journal prompts again. Now, I’m well on my way to re-framing and re-creating the life I really truly want. The Joy Equation has been instrumental in helping me gain confidence and clarity as I move, completely unexpectedly, into a brand new chapter in my life!

When I started The Joy Equation I had just made some big life changes. I was excited yet scared. At that point, I knew I needed to spend time mapping out my plans — to get real about what I wanted. So I committed myself to the course.
Now, I can honestly say that every minute I spent working through The Joy Equation was worth it. The exercises helped me get specific about my values, my goals and my dreams. They encouraged me to ask questions, not take things for granted. In the process, I learned a lot about my motivations. The outcome of my work was a detailed plan for the year to help me accomplish my goals. Perhaps even more important, I’ve made one really big change. I’ve developed the habit of devoting time to myself every single day. Some days, that’s ten minutes. Other days, I take a full hour. This habit has made all the difference in keeping me living the life that I want.
The Joy Equation has been a great way to get my goals front and center in my life. In fact, I still carry my Joy Plan workbook with me everywhere. I can’t recommend it enough!
THE JOY EQUATION COURSE
Want to hear the introduction so you know what you’re getting into? Listen up!
The Joy Equation offers you the strategies, tools and guidance to explore yourself and your life by defining success on your own terms. Key words: On Your Own Terms. I’m not here to sell you my vision of success, because chances are, it’s radically different than yours.
The Joy Equation is made up of four essential components:
- Your 40 page Joy Plan Workbook, an inspirational action guide that will hold all of your questions, activities and insights.
- 30 days of inspirational journal prompts delivered through email, to expand on each weekly theme.
- Four 90 minute audio sessions via a private web page, explaining your Joy Plan and guiding you through each week’s session in your workbook.
- Weekly Challenges and Immersion Activities to really deepen your understanding of each Joy Equation concept.
Your Joy Plan Workbook
Once you sign up for The Joy Equation, we’ll mail your Joy Plan Workbook* to you and you should receive it within 5-7 days. The Joy Plan is a bound 40-page booklet ready to be filled out with your answers, brainstorms, artwork, personal explorations and notes. It’s what you will sit down with each week to complete your audio session.
The Joy Plan will serve as your record of all the contemplation and insights from our month together. You’ll use it to explore each of the four parts of the Joy Equation as the 30 days progress and keep track of your ideas as you develop your plan for authentic joy.
*Due to printing, shipping, and packaging costs- All orders under $30 will receive a PDF version of the Joy Plan.
Journal Prompts
Within 24 hours of registration, you can expect your first inspiring journal prompt. Each day you’ll be emailed a new journal prompt to write about that will help you expand on the weekly theme from the audio session. Journaling is an investment in YOU and in this course. If you don’t like to journal, suck it up for 30 days. It’s good for you.
Audio Sessions
A week after your register (allowing enough time for you to receive your Joy Plan in the mail), you’ll receive a link in your email to a private site that contains the first audio session. There will be one new audio session for each week of the course, for a total of four. Each of the four sessions concentrates on one part of the Joy Equation. The audio sessions are designed to be interactive guides to your Joy Plan — you’ll hear me explain each activity and writing assignment and give you time to complete it right then and there. The sessions are my chance to share my knowledge, support you through this process, and call you names like cupcake and sugar pop.
The Audio Sessions are the heart of the course and where the most insight normally occurs!
Challenges & Immersion Activities
At the end of each Audio Session, I’ll go over a challenge and immersion activity for you to complete in the next week. These range from artwork, to spending time on you, to trying something completely new. I realize everyone has busy, busy lives — so these activities are optional, but most women taking the course find them a nice addition to all the writing we do!
MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
I want you to know that I’m here for you through the entire course, as well as afterward, when you begin to navigate your vision of success. I’m here to help you if you get stuck. I want to hear your success stories. I want to help you celebrate when you start kicking butt and taking names on your own terms!
I guarantee that you’ll learn something incredible about yourself and your dreams from The Joy Equation. Many, many cool chicks have taken this course and each one of them walks away with new insights.
And the cool part? They start doing something about it!
Washington, DC | @andreagenevieve
When I first received the materials for the Joy Equation I had to actually set them aside for the next month because I knew my next 30 days were going to be too full to dedicate to clearing my head and figuring out my sense of self.
Well, two months went by and when I actually sat down to start the 30-day plan, I was so annoyed with myself for not starting it sooner! It made me set aside time each day to reflect and think for me, about my life- and no one else. That was really hard! After the first few days though, I noticed a difference in the way I went through my day-to-day activities and loved it so much I even talked to Molly about getting my roommate involved in the Joy Equation course.
If there is anything I have learned throughout this process, it’s the importance of setting aside time to learn about myself. I also discovered I don’t have to go through this Quarterlife Crisis alone. There are plenty of other fab 20-something ladies out there just like me and they are all a part of Stratejoy!

When I decided to take part in Molly’s Joy Equation Course, I intended on proving her, and every other success story wrong. I was in a deep depression, and at my ‘rock bottom’. Typically I’m the exception to every rule, and nothing ever works for me. After all, how many personal questions can you really be asked before you realize you’ve already been asked this before?
On the very first day of the course, I was blind-sided. This was unlike any other program I’ve ever taken part in, or therapy session I’ve ever attended.
I was intrigued the first day, inspired the second, and completely and totally invested by the third. Molly offers the perfect combination of introspective questions, techniques for coping with life as it is, and sassy comments to make each day of the program better than the last. I was genuinely sad on the last day of the course. I didn’t want it to end. But, I was completely ready and dedicated to my new life’s mission – to be happy.
PRICING
This is where it gets a little interesting… I want each and every one of you to conquer your Quarterlife Crisis. I want each and every one of you savvy, sassy, gutsy girls to claim your joy. Seriously. It’s been amazing to hear about the forward movement, changes, and clarity that the Joy Equation Course can produce.
I realize that once YOU start believing in yourself and a life you love, YOU will inspire women around you to be bold enough to strive for their own dreams. And really —that’s what this is all about… Starting a movement of women who are dedicated to living and working for authentic happiness. Just thinking about all that honesty and juiciness and courage gives me shivers!
Which brings me to this:
If you are committed to working through this course, I am committed to getting it in your hands. What’s the perfect price? What would you be willing to invest?
That’s up to you.
For the past 6 months, I’ve been selling the Joy Equation Course for $149. It’s been reaching and helping women near and far (hello Canada, Switzerland, England, New Zealand, Australia, Zambia!). But I don’t want the price point to hold ANYONE back.
I am now making this course available for you to purchase based on what you can afford!!
What’s it worth to YOU? What can you contribute that will support your forward movement, as well as Stratejoy’s ability to get this course into the hands of every women who needs it?
So, what’s the right price?
It’s a very personal choice. Make a decision based on what you can afford to invest. Some of you will be able to afford the $149. Awesome. Some of you know that you won’t take the course seriously unless you pay the $149. I get it. Go for it. Some of you are in a spot of transition, or without steady work, or unemployed and will only be able to afford $30 or $70 or $99. That’s totally fine too! There’s no need to be embarrassed about what you can afford. I trust that you’re making the best decision for you.
That said, time has shown that without investing a significant amount of money in the Joy Equation, you’re less likely to finish the course. And that’s the whole point! You get out of this course what you put into it, and that includes your financial investment in yourself. Think about it when you’re tempted to type in $15, okay love? Is that all your happiness is worth to you?
This course, at whatever investment you can afford, is my gift to you. I’d love if you could keep the good karma flowing by sending this page to two of your gal pals. And feel free to grab the badge on the left and share the love. Joy for everyone!
