There’s something undeniably magical about the moment women gather—with open hearts, shared stories, and no pressure to perform. That’s the feeling you’ll find at Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Festival—a celebration of wellbeing, creativity, and connection.

But what makes this space truly powerful is the sisterhood behind it: the female founders, healers, artists, and entrepreneurs coming together to build something beautiful. This year, I'm proud to be part of that collective through Single Swan, alongside a powerful lineup of Buy Women Built brands.

Why Sisterhood Matters (and Heals)

Sisterhood isn’t a trend—it’s a form of survival. In a world that so often isolates or competes us, spaces where women feel seen, safe, and supported are deeply healing. Bell Hooks said it best:

“Sisterhood is powerful. It is spiritual and political. It is an expression of love—love of self and love of other women.”

That spirit is at the heart of the Happy Place Festival. From restorative rituals to real talk podcasts and intentional shopping experiences, it’s built for women by women who get it.

What is Buy Women Built? (And Why It’s Brilliant)

The Buy Women Built movement is about choosing to spend your money with female founders—putting your pounds toward passion, purpose, and progress.

Women-run businesses in the wellness space often arise from lived experience: burnout, recovery, motherhood, chronic illness, transformation. They’re born not just to solve problems, but to heal them.

And when we buy from these brands, we’re not just supporting their journey—we’re investing in our own wellbeing.

Women-Built Brands You’ll Meet at Happy Place Festival

Here are just a few of the powerful female founders bringing their magic to the Happy Place marketplace:

• The Retreat by Tracy Mort – Soulful home and body rituals to help you slow down and return to centre.

• My Skin Feels by Danielle Close – Intentional, comforting skincare created from real-life skin journeys.

• Evolve Organic Beauty by Laura Rudoe – Small-batch, award-winning skincare using the finest organic ingredients.

• Spritz Wellness by Laura Colucci – Aromatherapy products that support deep rest, mental clarity, and everyday calm.

• Single Swan by Alicia Drabble-Castellano – Emotional dressing meets conscious fashion. Designed to honour softness, shape, and self-worth.

The Power of Showing Up (and Shining Together)

Whether you’re attending the festival, browsing from home, or just sharing a post—you’re part of this movement. Every choice you make to support another woman’s work is a quiet revolution.

And when we do it together? It’s not so quiet anymore.
