About
We’re on a mission to empower people by making the science of being human understandable and relevant to everyone.
We see a world in which eight billion+ humans are doing their best to survive and thrive, a world that is unrecognisable from the one nature designed us for. This dramatic change has happened incredibly fast – within the last 1% of our existence as a species – and it explains many of the challenges we face. But rather than understanding this, we make our challenges personal - deciding that we are the problem instead.
Viewing life through a lens of evolutionary biology and neuroscience reveals that our challenges are not personal and empowers us to discover solutions. This perspective not only helps us understand what it is to be human – physically, mentally, and spiritually – but also to discover the amazing opportunities we have to heal, grow and become more resilient.
Hello, I’m Beth
After a two-decade career in global sustainability, I founded Lovely Messy Humans to share the life-changing lessons I’ve learnt – personally and professionally – about what it is to be human in today’s world.
I’ve faced my own struggles – including self-harming as a teenager and experiencing trauma – and I’ve learned a lot about resilience and healing. My journey fueled a passion for helping others navigate their own paths with compassion, accountability and understanding.
We are a small team, and we are developing our approach slowly and carefully, partnering with people whose experience and wisdom can make our work accessible and effective for those it can help.
