This project is a collaboration between Michala Storm, mindset coach and creator of the ON TRACK map (Denmark) and Sumire Sato, clinical psychologist, (Japan).
MISSION
It’s mission is to bring more happiness and hope – including self-acceptance and self-esteem – to the Japanese Youth by providing them the ON TRACK map teachings.
Story
Michala Storm and Sumire Sato meet in Denmark during the summer of 2022, as Sumire Sato visited Michala’s home as an AirBnB guest.
Soon the two women found that they had much in common and naturally began to have interesting conversation about mental health, happiness and hope.
The Happiness & Hope Journal
This journal and coloring book is specifically customized for the Japanese Youth with the purpose of giving them easy acces to a simple framework that will help them build more self-esteem and increase their happiness.
It has been translated to Japanese by Sumire Sato in co-creation with Michala Storm (Illustrations) so that it can easily be applied by any Japanese student.
