Bhutanese Happiness Project Ella Bywater interviewed by Leigh Milne

Leigh Milne from Transcending Trauma interviews Ella Bywater ECU Psychology & Counselling Graduate about her trip to Bhutan to explore Bhutan's unique approach to well-being through its Gross National Happiness framework. This experience included working closely with local students and educators, participating in mindfulness and meditation practices, and observing how community values support mental health. Her time in Bhutan deepened her commitment to preventive well-being, inspiring her to bring these insights back to Australia and integrate them into her work with Mind & Mae , her new holistic wellness business.
