I am a very busy entrepreneur and have spent thousands of dollars on therapy and self help resources. Trying to fit these things into my schedule always led me to not follow through. The UFY program was very flexible and also made me accountable to do the internal work in small bites while being supported all the way. This program helped me to see things about myself and those around me that I can never unsee. I will no longer be gullible and have my brain back once again to focus on what I truly desire without the influence of negative partners. When I think of all the countless hours and sleepless nights I have spent worrying about this man it truly makes me sick. I can’t thank UFY for the gift of clarity that I will never take for granted.

Work and relationship strong!

It was honest, straightforward information-to which I, as a strong professional woman could really relate! Helped me realize that being strong in relationships is not a bad thing and to hush that inner grandma!

Grateful for the shift in my perspective

Cheryl opened my eyes to a lot of possibilities for my career that I never even thought of as I was so boxed into what I have been doing for the past 12 years. I got actually very excited for my next steps and I haven't felt that in quite a long time already. Halfway our call she was able to help me have a 180 degree shift in my perspective to something really positive. She made me feel that I have so much to look forward to and achieve
She's very honest, helpful, straightforward and I really felt her enthusiasm to guide me with my situation. She's a very gifted communicator and she really knows what she's talking about. Her drive and motivation is highly contagious. 😁
She really deserves 5 stars.
Thank you very much and Many Blessings ❤️

Fantastic Abbreviated Recovery Breakup Program

Steps to Happyness Recovery program by Cherlyn Chong is a great course! It’s so to the point in layman’s terms which was very helpful. She was very compassionate and concise. I was kind of blindsided after my breakup 3 weeks ago and at the end of the course, I was lighter and feeling positive! You’re amazing Cherlyn! Thank you.

Hit the Nail on the Head for Me!

I took Cherlyn's Reverse Recovery, did her Trauma Type assessment and it HIT the nail on the head! I was quite shocked actually!! I did all 7 days and felt a real shift within me.

After reading all her raving reviews, I decided to go ahead and sign up to her Get Over Him program. I've been looking for a good therapist anyway, but I believe what Cherlyn does is way beyond that.

I am so excited! I can't wait to start working together with her and I am ready to take back myself after my very toxic 9-year relationship! 🥰❤️

The Reverse Recovery is revolutionary!

The Reverse Recovery course was a revelation to me. It all makes total sense in a susinct way that helped me learn fast! I finished it in days and felt like queen bee thereafter. There's always pain after a breakup, but I now know who I am and what to do to get over the Narcs in my life.

"Queen bee" - what a great way to describe yourself! 🐝 You absolutely deserve to feel this way after what you went through. 👍

Great Program with Great Support

Cherlyn is one of the best people I know. She's so kind and empathetic. She always listens to your needs and helps you where you are stuck. The Steps to Happyness and Reverse Recovery programs were amazing already but having Cherlyn to guide me along the way made all the difference. I really look forward to meeting her in person someday. 💕💕

From Skeptic to Believer

I came into my virtual meeting with Cherlyn very untrusting, unsure of myself, & skeptical of the whole "finding a therapist online" scenario. Cherlyn & Steps to Happyness left me after our one & only session together feeling empowered, knowledgeable, validated, & ready for my break-up. INCREDIBLE. After doing the follow up Reverse Recovery lessons, I knew the investment in myself was worth it.

This is so humbling and what a lovely review that reflects the thoughts of many of our members!

It's VERY true what you said about being untrusting and skeptical. There is a lot of shady stuff out there. We definitely appreciate you just telling it like it is!

We know it's hard to trust people nowadays, especially after the ex. I'm so grateful that you put your trust in us and that you got so much.

We're so happy to see that you're well on the way to living your best life. ❤️ ROCK ON!

I wouldn't be where I'm at without Cherlyn

Cherlyn, I wanted to thank you again for your help.

I wouldn't be where I'm at without you. Is it perfect, no, but despite the problems, I'm in SUCH a better place. A place I never imagined I'd get to.

I know you speak to thousands of women so if you don't remember me no worries. I will always remember you and be grateful for you and your help!

Thank you again!

I swore she read my journals!! How'd she know that?!?!

Cherlyn is Super-responsive, incredibly supportive, clearly knowledgeable and professional! Reading my #bluefawn trauma type was eye-opening and RIGHT ON. Wow. Where were you 12 years ago. Glad I found you now!! As we reviewed it together I kept joking that she must have read my journals! Clearly knows her stuff!!

Lol that was indeed what Heather said when we first talked - "Stop reading my diary!" 😅

That's on Steve, I told him that it wasn't good business practice to steal the diaries of our members but nooooo. 😂

On a more serious note, I'm so happy to say that at the time of this comment, we're doing great work—next-level healing that will get Heather everything she deserves in life and more.

Her bright attitude and dogged determination to shine will be the sole reasons she will be able to overcome this trauma for GOOD.

I am so humbled and grateful that she chose to put her trust in me to help get to not just great, but an EXTRAORDINARY life, free from the cage of the past.

Can't wait to see what happens next! ❤️

I loved the program

I loved the program, and found that Cherlyn was very insightful. My initial assessment came along with personalized insights for my own "type" of relationship struggles. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with her, and almost a year later, I still think about our conversation and her encouragement. I was able to work through the hurt and make tangible steps to improve my mental health during a very difficult time. The group is a supportive community, and really helps you know that you are not alone.

Meaningful and life changing!

I put a lot of work in with Cherlyn after an extremely painful break up. I didn’t want to spend years getting over it and I knew there were things within me that I needed to explore and heal from. Cherlyn helped me do just that. I’m sticking to “if it’s not a hell yeah then it’s a hell no”. I will never forget that from one of our sessions. No more half-steppers for me!

Awww THANK YOU Melanie for this lovely review! I think I was a bit more sweary than that hahaha!

I am very humbled and grateful to have met Melanie, and I was so happy to hear that she's doing so well now! That's everything we could ever ask for.

Best "revenge" ever to the people who have wronged us for trying our best to help them. 👍

Cherlyn is amazing and I’m so grateful I found her!

Cherlyn has helped to guide me through a really difficult time in my life. She is calm, collected, and has given me a safe space to talk about the deeply personal issues that I’ve been struggling with. She understands people and is open to trying new things with the aim of truly helping. I had seen multiple therapists before Cherlyn and was left disappointed with each. To say I am extremely grateful for Cherlyn would be a massive understatement! I am so thankful for her ability to tackle problems and difficult situations head on, but with the mental health of her people in mind. She is a gift!

This is such a beautiful, wonderful review that I have no words. It's so humbling, and I feel very grateful to have met this lovely lady.

When you're a successful, driven person, way too many people think that we should be able to handle everything. We should be able to figure this out, and there can be a lot of shame. It becomes difficult to trust when you've been disappointed so much.

That's why I'm so thankful and humbled to have this lady's trust, and we WILL get there.

Thank you so much!

A long time coming! My turn to be okay!

24 years of narcissistic, gaslighting, broken things, lies, and physical and financial abuse. Many years of attempts to "get over it", therapy, etc. I knew I had the tools in my arsenal, I needed a different approach to utilize them. A fog was lifted. Clarity restored. I am taking my life back and feeling amazing thanks to the approach and reverse recovery Cheryln uses. Her kindness, humor, and light shines so bright, that she knows you can do it too! So grateful for the support!

Cherlyn is generous and excellent at what she does.

Cherlyn generously took 45 minutes to help me on a call that was supposed to be 15 minutes (no charge). She is really an expert at what she does, and operates with humor, wisdom and practical, effective advice.
