The HappyNEST™ Podcast:
Colour, Calm & Connection for Families
Conversations with parents, therapists, and holistic experts to nurture children’s emotional wellbeing through the RAINBOW Method & Rainbow Bears.
The HappyNEST Podcast is the natural evolution of ChriSOULa Sirigou's nine years in radio broadcasting, where she hosted conversations that inspired thousands of listeners. Podcasting offers a more intimate, accessible, and global way to share expertise, solutions, and stories that change lives.
Each episode blends:
- Short reflections from ChriSOULa, sharing insights from the RAINBOW Method and Rainbow Bears.
- Conversations with experts like you — therapists, teachers, authors, and holistic practitioners whose work empowers children and families.
- Practical tools and practices parents can use straight away at home.
During that time I had the privilege of speaking with leading voices in health, healing, and holistic living. Many of these conversations were later brought together in the award-winning The Book of Soulful Musings — a collaborative collection enriched by 30 interviews exploring the interconnection of mind, body, gut, heart, and spirit.
Why Podcasting feels like the next step? Because our world has changed. Since Covid, we have all witnessed the impact on mental health — in adults, and even more deeply in our children and young people. Families everywhere are searching for emotional safety, clarity, and connection.
This is also a deeply personal evolution. In stepping into my midlife years, I’ve moved through the transformation of menopause, learning to embrace my new self with compassion. Alongside this journey, I’ve faced the challenges of living with Hashimoto’s - an autoimmune disease - and supporting my own wellbeing through gut health practices. These experiences have shown me — in the most personal way — how profoundly our gut influences our mental and emotional wellbeing, and how prevention, awareness, and holistic support can change lives.
The HappyNEST Podcast is born from this place of lived wisdom and renewed purpose. It is a bridge between the knowledge I’ve gathered through holistic modalities, the creative spark of the RAINBOW Method and Rainbow Bears, and the voices of experts, authors, and therapists who share this vision of whole-family wellbeing.
Through each conversation, my intention is clear: to create spaces of connection, communication, contribution, and collaboration where parents, children, and practitioners can learn, heal, and thrive together.
Each week, I blend my own insights from the RAINBOW Method, the playful wisdom of the Rainbow Bears, and holistic modalities such as Human Design, colour psychology, and breathwork with expert voices from around the world.
✨ This is not just a podcast. It’s an invitation to live with more colour, calm, and connection — for ourselves, our children, and our communities. My work has always been about curating wisdom, amplifying voices, and weaving connections across holistic wellbeing.
Can't wait to connect with you on the airwaves!

The RAINBOW Method
(7 Steps):
At the heart of The HappyNEST Podcast is the RAINBOW Method – seven steps to emotional awareness and wellbeing for families.
The RAINBOW Method is enriched by influences from colour psychology, chakra wisdom, and Human Design energy centres, offering families both practical and energetic tools for self-understanding and wellbeing.
Recognise – noticing emotions and experiences.
Allow – giving space for feelings without judgment.
Investigate – exploring inner and outer worlds with curiosity.
Nurture – offering compassion, self-care, and supportive anchors.
Breathe – using breathwork for calm and clarity.
Own – embracing personal responsibility and self-awareness.
Wonder – cultivating imagination, awe, and creativity.
The RAINBOW Bears
Each step is brought to life by a Rainbow Bear – gentle companions that help children (and adults!) explore feelings and colour in a playful way.
