Rani Sheilagh

(Rah-nee Shee-lah)

Writer • Author • Cyberpsychologist • Speaker

Exploring what it means to live fully and make meaning of the lives we live.

Bio

Rani Sheilagh is a writer, cyberpsychologist (MSc) and speaker based in Ireland. Her work explores how modern life is shaping the way we think, feel and connect, and how we can live well within it, rather than in spite of it.

Her perspective has been shaped by an Irish-Indian heritage and a life lived across different worlds, from contemplative traditions to the energy of New York, and from technology and culture to more than two decades exploring how we live in our bodies and with one another.

Working at the intersection of digital culture, food and human connection, she brings a deeply human lens to the challenges of a hyperconnected world. She explores how we have optimised life for speed, efficiency and output, often at a cost to ourselves and our relationships, and offers a more human alternative rooted in presence, pleasure and meaningful connection.

Central to her work is the idea that pleasure is intelligence. She explores food not as performance or perfection, but as one of the last shared rituals that brings people back to themselves and each other.

She is the author of Live Life Yummie: A Delicious Rebellion, which introduces the Yummietarian™ philosophy, a more human approach to living well, shaped by joy, simplicity and real life.
