A few years ago, as I explored the vibrant new world of LinkedIn audio rooms, I found myself walking into spaces filled with voices—some uplifting, but many heavy with pain. One night, I listened to a man in his 70s share how he had battled suicidal thoughts for years—even while helping others off the same ledge. His vulnerability shook me to my core.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. My heart was heavy. I realized I didn’t have the training to offer clinical help—but I did have something just as powerful: a deep desire to hold space, to uplift, to spread light.
So I asked myself: What if we created the opposite of despair? What if we built a joyful, compassionate community rooted in Ubuntu—where we check in on each other, laugh, grow, and hold space for life’s ups and downs with grace?
I shared this idea with Ms. Paula, a member of the tribe, and she said: “Why don’t you create a tribe—and call it The Happiness Tribe?”
And just like that, it was born.
What began as a cozy Sunday podcast—full of laughter, wellness, purpose, and real talk—has grown into a beautiful, living movement. Today, The Happiness Tribe is a registered company in Botswana, with a team of visionary directors and bold dreams for the future. We’ve become a sanctuary of joy, resilience, and connection.
Because while life will always have its storms—we believe in going through them with grace, together.
Our mission is to empower individuals to live happy, fulfilling lives by creating inclusive spaces that nurture well-being, connection, adventure and joy.
We believe happiness is a right, not a privilege. For those facing unfulfilled lives due to life’s circumstances- whether age, ability or unforeseen challenges- we work to bridge the gap. From improving access to essential resources to supporting mental and emotional well-being, we’re here with compassionate care every step of the way.
By cultivating a community rooted in empathy and support, the Happiness Tribe is dedicated to uplifting lives and making sure everyone has the opportunity to experience the happiness they deserve.
At The Happiness Tribe, we believe happiness is a lifestyle, a practice, and a shared journey. These values guide everything we do—our podcast, our programs, our retreats, and how we show up in the world.
We embrace real stories, real struggles, and real transformation. Truth is our foundation; vulnerability is our strength.
Life brings challenges—we teach you to rise through them. Resilience is not just survival; it’s thriving through change.
You’re not alone. Our tribe is a space to belong, be seen, and build meaningful, soulful relationships.
Clarity begins within. We foster mindfulness and self-reflection as keys to conscious living.
We equip you to reclaim your agency. Through knowledge, tools, and support, we guide you to live with purpose and power.
We choose joy—daily. Through gratitude, celebration, and presence, we find happiness in life’s simple and profound moments.
We walk our talk. We value alignment, accountability, and impact—within ourselves and in how we serve the world.
True happiness lives in harmony. We nurture the mind, body, and spirit as a unified path to well-being.
