Hi, we’re Cher and Brian — welcome to Living Happily Connected!

We're here to spark a movement toward deeper friendships, stronger communities, and a life filled with meaningful in-person connection.
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.
Dive into our blog, books, and videos — and start creating a life that feels more connected, one small step at a time.
Check out my appearance below on the PBS Show, Everybody with Angela Williamson, where I talked about my social connection guidebook.
Do you live happily connected?
We are looking for people to interview via Zoom for our Happily Connected Conversation video series. If you participate in regular social activities that make you happy and want to inspire others, send us a note so we can feature you in an upcoming interview!
Ready to move on from a tough period in your life?
Cher's first book From Withering to Flourishing shares the 9 steps she took to start a new chapter in her life after a series of life challenges led to a period of depression.
Hint - cultivating better relationships was one of the key steps to moving forward.
