Welcome to Living Happily Connected!

Happy 2026!
It's the winter season and a great time to get cozy and deeper with our relationships! Our mission is to help people communicate better and connect more in 2026.
In today’s busy, digital world, it can be easy to lose touch — not just with others, but with what makes us feel truly alive. That’s where we come in. We share ideas, tools, and stories to help you keep social health a joyful priority. Cher is also an engaging and inspiring speaker at organizations, summits, and community events. You can learn more at cherknebel.com.
Dive into our blog, books, and videos and follow us on social media if you want to live a more connected life that boosts your health and happiness. We post several videos each week on social media with tips, research and our own connection activities and learnings to help people with their social health goals. Hope you join us on this journey!
