Happiness Co

GET TO KNOW THE CO 🙃 This legend is a part of the @happinessco_foundation and an integral member of the Happ Co fam, its Mojo Maurice Sauzier - Director of Partnerships & Fundraising 🩵 Your favourite thing for self care…? Immersive experience specifically cool 😎 water, beach 🏝️ and or pool 🏊♀️ Enjoying being out in nature, being present in the Mo-ment of time. Music is my life… and doing the Mo dance connects me to my physical, emotional and spiritual self. Taking breath… and the meaningful conversation I share with the people I care for.❤️ How long have I been with the HC-F A sliding door Mo-ment, an authentic conversation with Julian, verbalising the desire to support and advise the HC-F and three years on the board of directors. Still in my probation period as the Director of Strategic Partnership and FUN-Raising… keeping positive about making happiness attainable❤️🙏 What makes HC-F special. Hmmmm, it’s people…inclusivity, passion, hilarity (my jaw muscles are getting a massive workout), an abyss of compassion and sense of purpose, HAPPINESS personification… oh and massive amount of hugs (love) and Italianesque arm slapping from Julian😂😂 My gratitude leading into the Festive Season I’m grateful for the ability to live genuinely, to inspire (and be inspired) by the people I share my time with, at home, at work, within the society that I/We impact daily.

GET TO KNOW THE CO 🙃 Today we have our self appointed “Elder Statesman”, genuine gun facilitator and Business Development Manager, Barry Baz Hamilton 🩵 Your favourite thing for self-care? 💆♂️ My greatest gift to myself is my massage chair—an hour a day in it is non-negotiable. I pair it with guided meditations, relaxation sounds, and essential oils. It helps my body relax and quiets my mind in today’s fast-paced world. I also love sitting on my deck by the canal, watching dolphins and birdlife, and even catching the occasional crab. How long have you been with Happiness Co? ⏳ I attended my first Happiness Co session almost six years ago after a mental breakdown in 2019. I’ve now been working here for three years—happier than ever! What makes Happiness Co special? 🤔 The people. I’ve never worked somewhere I’ve loved more. Happiness Co supported me as a client during tough times, and now I get to help others while working toward the mission of impacting 10 million lives in 10 years. What are you grateful for leading into the festive season? 🙌 Once a Christmas Grinch, I’m now embracing the holiday spirit. I’m grateful for time with family, friends, good health, and a life filled with love and choice.

GET TO KNOW THE CO 🙃 This one goes out to Thomas Tom O’Brien, persistent, ambitious and one of the most caring people in planet Perth 🩵 Rocks a shiny blazer too! He's our Youth Mental Health Officer and a team member at the Happiness Co Foundation as well. 💆♂️Your favourite thing for self care? I love to get myself to the beach, soak up some sun and read a book. Also love to cook a good hearty meal with lots of veggies for dinner, followed by a early night to bed 💤 ⏳ How long have you been with Happiness Co? I’ve been with the crew for just over 3 years I’m pretty sure. Starting off with a 6 month volunteer internship in coordination with uni and then the rest is history! 🤔 What makes Happiness Co special? The way Happiness Co is able to resonate with people all over the world, spreading awareness around preventative mental health to demographics of all sorts - young, old, men women, LGBTQIA+, straight, neurodivergent, neurotypical, disabled, abled. Additionally, it’s special how the team is all on the same page of doing what is required to reach our mission of positivity impacting 10 million lives in 10 years. 🙌 Your gratitude leading into the festive season? Being able to go back home down south and spend quality time with family and friends, go to the beautiful beaches in the south west and get some needed rest 👌

GET TO KNOW THE CO 😊 Next to the plate is Brayden Ainsworth, our Youth Mental Health Coordinator, a rising star within the brand and just a genuinely great bloke 🩵 💆♂️ Favorite self-care rituals?   Running is my go-to, it clears my head, keeps me grounded and pushes me to grow both physically and mentally. There’s something about hitting the pavement that reminds me to stay present and connected. Alongside that, working out, spending time with my people and finding moments of solitude to really understand myself on a deeper level round out my self-care routine.   ⏳ How long have I been with Happiness Co?   3 years and it’s been an incredible journey.   🤔 What makes Happiness Co special?   It’s the people. The team, the volunteers and everyone we’ve had the privilege to work with, it’s a community of real humans with real struggles, triumphs and dreams. At its heart Happiness Co is about creating safe spaces where people can show up exactly as they are. It’s real, raw and practical, led by those who’ve lived their own journeys and are passionate about helping others thrive.   🙌 Gratitude leading into the festive season?   I’m so grateful for the deeper connections I’ve built this year with family, friends, the incredible team I get to work with and myself. I’m also thankful for the opportunities I’ve had and the lessons I’ve learned this year.   Here’s to people, purpose, and showing up authentically. ❤️

GET TO KNOW THE CO 😁 Next up is our Wellness Coordinator and self care expert, Carla! 💆 Your favourite thing for self-care? I practice self-care daily—it’s second nature to me. Morning movement is a non-negotiable, whether it’s Pilates, yoga, a bike ride, or a walk, even when traveling. I follow it with an ocean dip for my daily dose of ocean therapy. Despite being a people person, I need solitude and quiet time, whether it’s in nature, reading, or a relaxing bath. ⏳ How long have you been with Happiness Co? Two and a half years! I’ve been a fan and supporter since meeting Julian and Robbie back in 2019. 🤔 What makes Happiness Co special? If I had to sum it up in one word: uniqueness. Beyond what we do as an organization, our team connection, friendship, and family culture are truly rare. People often comment on it, whether they’ve worked with us or follow us online. It makes it easy to show up for each other and our mission. We’re deeply invested in one another, with an incredible support system where we’re valued not just for our work but as individuals. 🙌🏻 Your gratitude leading into the festive season? It’s been a big year filled with joy and heartache. After losing my mother, I’m especially grateful for the support around me—my partner, friends, and the incredible team at Happiness Co. They gave me the time and space to grieve and be with my family, something not everyone experiences in a workplace. Happiness Co prioritizes its people, and heading into the festive season, I’m immensely grateful for my work family.

Is spending quality time with my best mates, enjoying our favourite food & drinks. These moments serve as a heartfelt reminder of how fleeting life can be, making every shared moment even more meaningful. ⏳How long have you been with HC? 6 years 🤔What makes HC special? It’s incredible team of dedicated individuals with genuine passion, empathy & commitment to create a powerful impact within the community & beyond. 🙌🏻 Your gratitude leading into the festive season? For the strength & perseverance I’ve demonstrated this year. I feel proud of how I consistently showed up for myself & the people I care about along with the valuable lessons gained through meaningful connections & honest communication.

💜💙HAPPINESS GALA RAISES $220,000 💙💜 What an unforgettable night at the Happiness Gala! With a sold out Riverview Room at Optus Stadium and a record-breaking $220,000 raised, the energy was beyond inspiring. From moving speeches to the best dance floor in town, every moment was packed with purpose and joy.

His words inspired us to continue being good people and keep building a world that uplifts others.

Thomas, Hannah, and Brayden captivated the room with their heartfelt stories about the strength of community and the “village” we all create together. Felix the Band took things to a new level, rocking the night away and keeping the dance floor packed. DJ Ndorse was playing some absolute tunes - the dance floor never stopped until it had to!
