Nominate a Place That Helps You Feel Better
Because we all have spaces that hold us—and it’s time they were seen.
We all have them.
The café where something in you slows down.
The gallery that inspires awe.
The coworking space, the quiet bookshop, the yoga studio that helped you come back to yourself.
These are the feel-good places—the spaces that support us in real, everyday ways. And we want to share them.
Each month, we invite you to nominate a place that helps you feel better, and we'll select new entries to be added to our growing If Lost Start Here guidebook. Every nomination will also be entered into a monthly giveaway—for a wellbeing course, coaching session, or a planner bundle designed to help you navigate everyday life with a little more clarity and care.
What Is the If Lost Guidebook?
If Lost Start Here is a wellbeing guidebook for real life. It’s a curated collection of spaces, experiences and offerings that genuinely support emotional and mental wellbeing.
We don’t chase trends but rather look for places that offer:
Calm when life feels chaotic
Creativity when you feel stuck
Comfort when you’re overwhelmed
Connection when you’re alone
Movement when you're going nowhere.
Joy when joy feels far away
What Counts as a Feel-Good Place?
We’re open-hearted but clear in our values. Here’s what we’re looking for:
Real-life spaces that support wellbeing — not just in theory, but in experience
Community-focused or intentionally crafted experiences
Independently owned (or run with care and soul)
Rooted in accessibility, inclusion and kindness.
From nature reserves to neighbourhood cafés, creative studios to cold water swims—if it helped you feel better, it belongs here.
Why We Believe This Matters
So many of us are looking for small ways to feel more grounded, more seen, more at home in ourselves. And sometimes, a single space—a room, a walk, a gathering—can shift something in us.
The right place doesn’t solve everything. But it can soften the edges, reignite our curiosity, or give us the pause we didn’t know we needed.
By sharing these places, we’re helping others discover where they might feel held too.
