She Spent 30 Years Asking Why People Hurt. Then She Built the Answer.
Janice Taylor grew up surrounded by adversity — and refused to accept the limits set by her circumstances. That refusal became a 30-year obsession with the root causes of emotional pain, and eventually the foundation of the Science of Emotional Fitness: the world's first measurable framework for emotional health.
She is a three-time tech founder, Harvard Master's candidate in Psychology, and inventor of Wilson AI — the on-device intelligence platform now being deployed across professional sports leagues, youth athletic programs, and the global wellness industry.
Her career has taken her from child protection advocacy that shaped laws in both Canada and the U.S., to stages alongside Oprah Winfrey's Ultimate Viewers, to being appointed Honorary Captain of the Royal Canadian Navy by the Prime Minister of Canada.
By the Numbers.
A career of measurable firsts at the intersection of psychology, technology, sport, and culture.

"If I just make money, I'll be happy. If I just get thin, I'll be happy. If I just… I was numb. There had to be more to life…"
This is not a survival story. It's not miraculous. It is an ordinary story woven into the extraordinary fabric of existence. All stories carry the appearance of ordinary, yet the inner lining — the unique elements within you and your predestined DNA — is where we witness miracles.
Throughout much of my life, I believed I was a pretty ordinary girl, but I carried this strange feeling in my being that my life had to have a point. I spent uncountable hours asking myself, often in the depths of despair: do I have a purpose?
At one critical crossroads in my personal life and in the progression of my tech start-up, this book came to life. One cool Canadian December day, I asked a few of my special friends if I could write to them each morning. The group grew to about twenty women, and I faithfully wrote to them every morning for six months.
As the winter thawed and spring came into bloom, this little book came to life. I realized that my life, my tech start-up and my deep love for my soul sisters converged into one theme: love of self.
From this time period, I created a healing modality called Ahava, the Hebrew word for love. Ahava takes you on the straight process from transforming pain into purpose. The ultimate Ah-ha.
"Janice Taylor's journey is raw, inspiring, and deeply human. Wisdom. Soul. Startup opened my eyes to the emotional side of entrepreneurship and gave me practical tools for healing and growth."
"A breath of fresh air for anyone feeling lost or burnt out. Janice's global adventures and honest storytelling make emotional fitness feel accessible and essential."
"I couldn't put it down. Janice blends wisdom and vulnerability in a way that makes you rethink what's possible in business and in life. A must-read for anyone seeking real transformation."
"More than a memoir — it's a guidebook for emotional resilience. Janice's experiences from Silicon Valley to Bali are both fascinating and profoundly relatable."
"This book gave me the courage to face my own emotional pain and see it as a source of strength. Janice's insights are revolutionary for anyone wanting to lead or heal."
