What if pleasure wasn’t the reward, but the way to live well?

Live Life Yummie is an invitation to step away from relentless optimisation and rediscover pleasure, presence and human connection through the everyday rituals of living.

ABOUT
RANI SHEILAGH

(Rah-nee Shee-lah)

Writer • Author • Cyberpsychologist • Speaker

Rani Sheilagh is an Irish-Indian writer, author, cyberpsychologist and speaker exploring how we live fully, connect meaningfully and thrive in a changing world.

With expertise spanning human behaviour, wellness, mindfulness, digital culture and embodied well-being, Rani blends science with soul, bringing warmth, curiosity and lived experience to the way we navigate modern life. As an entrepreneur and global traveller, she knows that some of life's richest moments, online or offline, often begin with food, presence, pleasure and real human connection.

Her first book, Live Life Yummie: A Delicious Rebellion, introduces the Yummietarian™ mindset, a new blueprint for joyful, intentional living. Rani invites readers to embrace pleasure, well-being and meaningful connection in a world that too often encourages distraction and disconnection.

Her wider work explores the connections between food, lifestyle, technology, memory, ritual and human connection, and the everyday choices, experiences and stories that shape how we live and understand our lives.

At the heart of Rani's work is a simple invitation: to live with greater joy, intention and authenticity, because we don't just have to move through life, we can savour it.

    Built around the idea that pleasure is intelligence, it explores how food, connection, joy and everyday rituals can help us live well in a hyperconnected world.

    It is not a diet or a set of rules.
