We’re here to nourish, inspire, & create.

We tell stories because we believe they help shape the way we see ourselves, each other, and the world.

Welcome to The Happy Kind on Substack — a publication from our media production co filled with creative inspiration, behind-the-scenes on the development of our projects, ingredients for the beauty and magic in life, curated recommendations, and the small joys in between.

I’m Jessica Nicole Higgins Chapman, but you can call me —

Jess!

I’m the founder of The Happy Kind and I write our newsletter, as well as our BTS letter Notes on a (Fake) Scandal & inspirational letter Every Sunrise.

I love all things entertainment, coffee, inspo and growing our independent media production company!

Fun facts:

• I have over 500 TV credits on my resume, including Emmy winning shows Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Voice!

• I wrote a book, The Magic that is Life and I have a background in writing and filmmaking! I’m also a wife to my favorite person and a mama to a beautiful little girl!

• I love to travel, and some of my most favorite places (so far) are: Paris, Santa Barbara, Maui, Italy, Yosemite National Park and London!

• My last name is Higgins Chapman, no hyphen! :)
