There were 12 step recovery meetings there for compulsive eaters where I found and met people in recovery from bulimia. I just got goosebumps thinking about this. It was life changing. It was February of 1984 and I was sitting there defensive and not talking. And then this woman said this sentence, she said, my name is Betsy. I'm changing her name.

My name is Betsy and I'm recovering from bulimia one day at a time. And I remember I put my needle point down, I looked at her, she was tall, she was blonde, she was an athlete and she was saying sentences I'd never heard anybody speak. And I looked at her and in that moment, I knew if she could do it, I could do it. And that was really when my life began. I learned what joy was.

I learned what grit was. I learned how to cultivate it. I learned about goal setting. I learned what love was. Someone said to me one day, Caroline, it's great that you're getting better, but you can't keep what you don't give away. And that one sentence was what I found brought me joy, that I could sponsor other people, that I could be a role model.

It's something I was proud of, that I could share with other people. I had months, weeks, months, years of recovery. And in positive psychology, we know that's one of the positive interventions is giving. Being a giver brings you joy. And I learned it by hitting the worst bottom of my life. And I'm just so grateful. I was bulimic and it gave me the path to find out what all those things meant.

They weren't just phrases on a wall or speeches I heard. This is when I found out what life was all about. And it's, I don't regret a minute of it.

Thank you. And same to you.

It's so funny. I lived my life in hindsight. When I was at Penn, I'm sitting in Huntsman Hall, which is where Wharton is. I would hear this research and little puzzle pieces would start to come together in my mind. Oh, that's why all those things that I did, those achievements didn't bring me success. the happiness I thought it was because happiness precedes success.
