Stoyana Natseva, Global Mentor, Bestselling Author, and Founder
Please introduce yourself and tell us about your life so we can get to know you better.
My name is Stoyana Natseva, a mentor in systemic personal and business development, bestselling author of 15 books, founder of Happy Life Academy, and Chair of the International Association of Professional Trainers and Consultants (IAPTC). I created 9 internationally recognized MBA programs designed to train the next generation of experts in personal transformation and professional consulting.
I live in a harmonious and loving home with my husband and our two children. My family is my inner strength and greatest source of support. I love traveling; it inspires me, connects me to new cultures, and allows me to gain insights beyond the familiar. My life is devoted to a mission: to help people build a new perspective of themselves, their potential, and the life they truly deserve.
What inspired you to start Happy Life Academy?
I created the Academy because I believe every real transformation needs environment, structure, and depth. People are not just looking for advice, they’re looking for a path to a new reality.I saw the need for a system that integrates scientific precision, practical transformation, and the opportunity for a new career. That’s how Happy Life Academy was born. More than 100,000 people from around the world have completed our training programs. Each of them has taken a step toward a clearer, more stable, and empowered version of themselves.
Who do you rely on along the way, and what challenges have you faced?
I rely on my mission, the stability of my family, and the certainty that even the hardest moments are shaping us. Like everyone, I’ve faced personal crises, but I firmly believe that every challenge is a call for strength and clarity.
The greatest challenge is staying true to yourself in a world full of noise, doubt, and temporary solutions. And the greatest reward? Seeing how real results speak louder than any promise.
What makes your approach to personal development unique?
My method combines science, systemic psychology, coaching, energy practices, and family constellation therapy into a comprehensive, original methodology that works with a person’s history, mindset, energy field, and identity. I don’t aim to “fix” people. I create the space for awareness, choice, and conscious action.
I designed 9 international MBA programs that don’t just educate, they transform. They train leaders, mentors, and consultants who guide others with depth, intelligence, and integrity.
Can you share some of the transformations you’ve helped clients achieve?
The true value of our work is measured in lives changed. We’ve seen thousands of real transformations: healing from cancer, autoimmune conditions, and panic attacks; conception after years of infertility; creating loving families and relationships; launching successful businesses; and finding deep inner peace after years of anxiety and self-doubt.
These are not exceptions; they are the natural result of focused work, a proven system, and a belief in human potential.
What is your definition of happiness?
Happiness is a state of inner alignment when you are in the right place, with yourself, your mission, and the people around you. It’s not a goal, but a sense of clarity and ease. To me, happiness means a calm soul, a clear mind, and actions that reflect your truth.
What is one mindset shift that can change someone’s life today?
The shift from “I’m a victim of my circumstances” to “I am the creator of my life.” This isn’t just a motivational phrase, but it’s a state of conscious authorship.
Even if no one has ever believed in you, I believe in you. I believe in the limitless potential within every human being. I believe that we can always begin again and build a reality that reflects who we truly are.
Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that inspired you, even if it was difficult.
My greatest lessons have come through difficulties. I wouldn’t name a single moment, but rather a series of choices where I stayed true to myself, even when it was hard, unpopular, or lonely.
In those moments, strength is born not as a concept, but as presence. I realized that we are not what has happened to us, but what we choose to do with it. And that choice to grow is what I teach today with full faith and personal example.
