On Penny Locaso's agenda is hacking happiness, and the conversation couldn't be more timely.Penny has just penned a book on the issue that she is promoting from lockdown in Victoria.

You can read that piece here.Penny is a former corporate executive turned speaker, author and educator. Raised in the country, she moved to the city to pursue her idea of 'success' which, she says, worked great until the age of 39, when she found herself yearning for something more. Within a seven month period she left that career, left a relationship of 16 years and moved her family across the country. From there, she set out on a mission to determine why so many of us stay 'unhappy' in our pursuit of success.She has since formed HackingHappy.Co.
