Welcome to the weekend, and to your Happynesshub newsletter! I am sending you my love and hoping you are doing very well. I don’t know about you, but I relish this time of year; watching the seasons change and the old leaves and branches falling down from the trees, making way for and [...]
This Sunday 10th October - World Mental Health Day. The theme this year is ‘Mental health in an unequal world’, something the COVID pandemic has highlighted in so many ways within our own nations, and around the world. Global inequality economically, socially and otherwise continues to widen and for those facing ongoing considerable [...]
This week I had some horrid news personally. I felt overwhelmed and could feel my learned behaviour of building my brick barriers to enclose myself instantly kicking in. It is like I create a glass bubble around me to protect myself from any further pain coming my way. I locked myself in my [...]
As I arrived to check in to my cottage in Cornwall this week, I was looking forward to fresh air, no stress, and, primarily, a healthy dose of peace and quiet. So, when I woke up on the first full day there to the dulcet tones of an electric drill at work just [...]
This week’s blog is inspired by some consultancy work that I was doing this week for a charity very close to my heart. I was asked to join in a brainstorming session with the board of trustees to consider their new direction, and to share my own experiences of delivering ‘impact’ in the [...]

After they died in June 2020, the man who killed them was found guilty this week. The two sisters had been celebrating Bibaa’s [...]
Something I’ve been thinking a lot about this week is how to learn from past experience when moving forward to new, yet unknown ones. And that is what this week’s blog is a little bit about; written by one of our lovely Hubbers, Jane, it reflects on a tricky event and considers how [...]
So this week I have moderated two fabulous (zoom) discussion panels within the world of TV. And despite being media orientated, both have covered the areas of mental health, wellness and COVID. What emerged for me personally was that these past 15 months have thrown up so many beautiful connections that simply never [...]
It’s been a very busy week here at Happynesshub HQ - although I feel like I’ve been saying that almost every week since Christmas! However, as many of you will know the culture at Sixth Sense, the Happynesshub and Bow-Wowza is so important to me, on an equal footing with the work we [...]
