Lori Hutson has impacted the lives of over 5000 teenagers the last 20+ years, and what most people don’t know is… teens don’t have to struggle and suffer through “normal teenage drama” and spend their adult life trying to recover and re-learn. Lori found that most people (teens and adults) face challenges in common ways that leave them feeling out of control and have a negative self image. And after studying happiness for the last 20 years, she knows absolutely there’s a better way.

She combined all of her experience and Happy Made Easy was born.

Now, as the founder of Happy Made Easy and a certified Happy For No Reason® trainer, Lori teaches her processes that empower people to embrace their challenges in a positive way and feel confident in choosing how to manage their stress and anxiety. She breaks down exercises into easy, digestible pieces for true, deep learning to last a lifetime.

To say Lori’s experience is diverse is an understatement. As a lifelong teacher for 20+ years, Lori has worked with teens, adults, and leadership groups in many different settings. She has taught in public schools starting in Houston, TX, then to Brooklyn, NY, all the way to Compton, CA, and settling in Austin TX. Along the way, she taught PE and Dance, served as Director and Coach for numerous teams and sports, was elected as a district representative for Dance, wrote curriculum, cooperating teacher for UT Austin, and became Athletic Coordinator. She also choreographs for various theater and choir productions and adjudicates many dance competitions and auditions across Central TX.

When Lori isn’t teaching Happy Made Easy, she loves to unwind by exploring new cities and hiking trails, listening to live music, going to the theater, discovering delicious local foods, reading a good book on her porch, and watching her crazy big dogs try to become lap dogs.
