Welcome to
Happyish Humans
(where regular humans learn simple psychology to create a better life)
Happyish Humans is where real psychology meets real life, helping imperfect humans reconnect to their potential through hope, awareness, and intentional action.

Angela House, LCSW‑C
Originally from Colombia and living in the U.S. since 1991, Angela is fluent in English and Spanish. She holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Social Work — and writes like she’s sitting on the couch with you, making complex ideas easy and fun.
At her core she is a teacher. Using ATICA principles (All-There-Is Conscious Awareness), she created the 7 to 5 Game to help imperfect humans reconnect to their potential through awareness, choice, and intentional action.
Her style is direct and gentle, with humor and warmth. Happyish Humans is her home for practical psychology — always as education, not therapy or counseling.
MEET THE HAPPYISH HUMAN GIRLS
Four voices live in your head. Angela gave them names, faces and bios so you can catch which one is talking before you believe it. Every video and every blog here is sponsored by one of the girls — meet them once and you will recognize them everywhere.
The Survival Voice
UNGA! UNGA!
“I'm not trying to ruin your life. I'm trying to keep you alive.”
How she shows up
Fight, flight, freeze, fawn — hypervigilance, social anxiety and a hard need for certainty.
The Trauma Voice
LOLA
“I've seen this before and I got hurt. I need to protect myself so I don't hurt again.”
How she shows up
Old wounds, abandonment and shame — cognitive distortions that turn into self-sabotage and fear of intimacy.
The Adaptation / Overthinking Voice
TATA
“Who do I need to become so I'll be accepted?”
How she shows up
Perfectionism, comparison and masking — imposter syndrome and people-pleasing on a loop.
The Higher Self
AKO
“I can handle hard things.”
How she shows up
Integrated, grounded, compassionate and intentional — the 5 state.
Character illustrations by Alexandra House.
“Progress over perfection.”
