Hopedealers Worldwide is proud to announce the 2025 recipients of the Sprouts of Hope Scholarship Award—a remarkable couple who exemplify personal growth, vibrant health, and transformational leadership: Congratulations to Dave and Yvette Ulloa, founders of Warriors and Queens.

Currently based in Vero Beach, Florida, this powerhouse couple has been internationally recognized as leaders, trainers, and speakers in the areas of relationships, personal development, and living a life rooted in recovery and optimal health. Despite facing intense personal challenges, Dave and Yvette have consistently turned adversity into purpose—guiding hundreds of thousands to heal past trauma, overcome relationship struggles, and embrace holistic well-being. Shocked and honored to receive this scholarship, Dave and Yvette shared with the Hopedealers community some of the personal battles that shaped their journey. While many shy away from sharing their past struggles with trauma, addiction, or chaos, the Ulloas firmly believe that “you heal what you reveal.”

True strength, they say, is not measured by how you fall, but by how you rise.

Dave courageously shared about a painful chapter of his life when he battled alcohol as a way to numb childhood abuse. Not only did he overcome these struggles—he now teaches others how to transform pain into purpose. Yvette also shared her journey, revealing that during her younger years, depression and anxiety nearly overtook her life. But through God’s grace, deep personal work, and unshakable resilience, she uncovered powerful lessons and gifts within the battle. Together, they now lead a global movement helping others face their challenges, release shame, and turn past pain into power. They speak openly about how addiction shows up in many hidden forms—from alcohol and drugs to prescription pills, anxiety, worry, and emotional patterns—and how keeping these struggles in the shadows only perpetuates the cycle. They empower their community to crush judgment and shame, and to reframe perceived weakness into the foundation of strength and transformation. True character is not revealed when everything is going well—it’s revealed in how we respond to failure, setbacks, and challenges. And the Ulloas have made it their mission to help others rise after the fall, take responsibility, and use their stories to inspire hope and healing in others. Over the past decade, Hopedealers Worldwide has witnessed Dave and Yvette’s unwavering commitment to self-improvement and wellness. Their authenticity, courage, and passion continue to ignite transformation in thousands of lives. We believe that their time at Hippocrates Health Institute will be a crowning chapter—taking their health and impact to even greater heights. It is with deep respect and admiration that we award the 2025 Sprouts of Hope Scholarship to Dave and Yvette Ulloa.

Congratulations—and thank you for being beacons of light, healing, and hope.
