Haile Thomas is the youngest person to ever appear on the Sigrun Show, and she has an inspiring story to tell.

At only 19 years old, she is an international speaker, activist and CEO of her own non-profit HAPPY, which she founded when she was 12. She has been featured on TV and highlighted in publications like O Magazine and Teen Vogue.

Her journey started when she was a very young child and her parents welcomed her to joining conversations they had with other adults instead of sending her away to play. It made her very secure at an early age.

When Haile’s father was diagnosed with diabetes and the medications he had to take caused severe side effects, her family started looking for alternative treatments. Haile was fully involved in the process of healing her dad and in the process learned about the power of healthy nutrition and coming together as a community for a cause. In the end, her family was able to reverse the condition of her father without the use of medication.

Haile felt so inspired, but was also increasingly shocked that children aren’t learning more about leading a healthy life. She made it her mission to motivate and empower young people to prioritise self-care and pursue healthy and purpose filled lives, impacting thousands in the process.
