Welcome to Happinessence!
Illuminating the universe, one smile at a time
At Happinessence, I help female professionals handle the behavioural pitfalls that cost women the most. I believe in intuitive decision-making, where rogue insights are balanced by strategic thinking. The science of happiness (rooted in positive psychology) describes fulfilment as a game of two parts: feeling happy in your life (experiencing positive emotions like joy) and feeling happy with your life (having a sense of purpose and satisfaction). Women in particular are motivated by joy, purpose, resilience and connection so my innovative mentoring approach blends intuition, mental patterning, emotional charge and conscious behaviours. My mission is to help you unravel stuck thinking, manage difficult emotions and change ineffective behaviours, ultimately stacking the deck in your favour for the success you seek.
"Leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover is yourself" ~ Alan Alda
What are you missing right now?
Joy
Life is full of highs and lows. The rollercoaster of leadership holds unique challenges for female leaders. Toxic environments, gender bias, societal pressure and inadequate support lay you open to tall poppy and imposter syndromes. When you're juggling too many commitments, dealing with unexpected feedback or handling a devastating tragedy, reach out...before the discontent spreads.
Resilience
In his book "The Comfort Crisis", Michael Easter advocates discomfort. It's a familiar concept to female leaders who navigate adversity, reframe mistakes, push through setbacks, embrace vulnerability and welcome emotional growth. Since women leaders are known to make work better for everyone, do remember number one! When doing it tough, treat yourself kindly and seek the support you need.
Purpose
Recognise any desire to make a meaningul impact is a foundational anchor. It fuels your commitment, enhances your effectiveness and helps you navigate with clarity and conviction. Spotting signs that you're out of step gives you chance to iron out incongruity. Stop the rot! Get in touch if you're in a double bind, feeling overly sensitive or constantly second guessing yourself.
Connection
The isolation of leadership affects decision-making. The answer is likeminded connection, since research shows even tiny interactions boost wellbeing! Women leaders joining together in a supportive network built on shared experience, empathy and understanding get to leverage collective strengths. This reduces stress, improves coping mechanisms and heightens your intuition!
