A Letter From Monica

Monica Ortiz

Welcome to Relationships Evolved: Forging Bonds That Last.  I am Monica Ortiz, Founder of The Exceptional Life Institute and Author of Universe 101: Learn Grow Evolve, the course book Relationships Evolved: Forging Bonds That Last, and developer of this course. I have been helping people for over 25 years find their best life, career, love, and health, develop better communication, and build their best relationships.

After teaching this course in person for many years and watching it change lives, I knew it was time to put this course online so that everyone around the globe had access to it.  During my research, I learned that people have many styles of learning and since you would be taking it online and I wasn’t going to be with you in person, I needed to impart the information in a way that is easily assimilated for all. So, after years of development (and lots of back to the drawing board), I am happy to present to you the evolution of Relationships Evolved: Forging Bonds That Last.  This is way more than an online course, it was engineered to be an immersive experience and feel almost as if I am in the room with you, reaching out, guiding, encouraging, and supporting you.

I believe everyone has a ‘best life’ in them and this is a course that works for you by giving you valuable tools that you can apply to your life and start living your best life.

I wish you peace and love in your learning journey.

Monica Ortiz

"The system of relationships we learned growing up with jealousy, bullying, the cool kids and the not so cool kids, poor communication etc. - It's a broken system that sticks with us as adults, and hinders us from building the relationships we deserve."​

- Monica Ortiz, Founder of
The Exceptional Life Institute

How Relationships Evolved Will Change Your Life

What our graduates have to say.

  • Anisa's Story

    Relationships Evolved helped me and my partner identify patterns in our relationship that were creating misunderstandings and negative feelings, and that's given us more understanding of ourselves and patience for one another as we work on our relationship together.

  • Hanjoon's Story

    I took Monica's class at Stanford University. She gave an overview and a fresh mindset on how I should approach my relationships with my family and friends. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Monica.

  • Alvin's Story

    A lot of self-help books are filled with repetitive, fluffy content where 100 pages could have been distilled in a 2-page brochure. What I really enjoyed about the Relationships Evolved course is that there’s truly valuable content here, it makes sense, and it fulfills its promise. If you put these tools to use, they’ll help you evolve your friendships, work relationships, and family relationships.

FAQ

How long does this course take to complete?

This is a self-guided course so you can work at your own pace. Some students work through the content in as little as a weekend, while others take a month. We recommend committing to a schedule and going through it at a steady pace so you can get the most benefit from it. If you ever have questions about the content, you’re welcome to come ‘ask an expert’ and take part in one of Monica’s office hours.

Can I take this course with my partner/parent/child/
friend who I would want to build a better relationship with?

Absolutely! We highly encourage this. When you purchase this course, you are allowed to take it with your partner, parent, child, etc. provided that they live with you in the same household. If you want to take it with someone else who does not live in the same home as you, email us for a special discount so they can enroll in the course directly.

What makes this course different from other relationship courses or self-help books?

A lot! We understand one of the best ways to learn is to see real-world examples. That’s why we combined a comprehensive coursebook with videos of real students applying these tools to normal, everyday situations and relationships. And unlike other courses, if you “get stuck” or have questions along the way, you’ll be able to get answers quickly in our supportive online community.
Slider
Slider

How did you come up with this system and why do you say it’s fundamentally the best way to approach relationships?

Our founder Monica Ortiz developed this self-education system after more than 20 years of working with clients and students to help them transform their relationships and lives. Monica saw that existing self-help courses only offered “quick fixes” with little that really helped students target the roots of their relationship struggles. Monica’s courses set the foundation for lasting growth and evolution that leads to healthy change.

Will this course help me if I’m not in a romantic relationship currently?

Yes! This course will help you improve all of your relationships. The tools you’ll master here will help you approach your next friendships, family relationships, and work relationships with a healthier perspective, built on a deeper understanding of yourself and stronger communication skills to understand the other person. By learning these tools now, you’re setting up for a much better chance at success in your dating and romantic relationships as well.

What happens if the course doesn’t work for me?

We stand behind the quality of the content in this course and the results it has created for our previous students, whose testimonials we are proud to show. But if for some reason this course doesn’t work for you, contact us at support@exceptionallifeinstitute.com.
