WhatsHappening

What it is

WhatsHappening is an AI-powered voice journal — your 2-AM friend that brings you back. You speak, it listens without judgment, and it helps you reflect, connect the dots, and reconnect with yourself.

It's built around a few gentle practices:

  • Release — voice journaling to let out whatever's overwhelming, no tidying required.
  • Resolve — an Internal Family Systems–inspired space that holds room for your conflicting inner voices, so each part of you gets heard.
  • Remember — your notes organise themselves into islands (work, relationships, creativity) without any manual tagging.
  • Breathworks — guided breathing (physiological sighs, cadence breathing) to settle the nervous system when you're triggered.
  • Reflect — a Sunday letter summarising your week's emotional arc, plus music shaped by your reflections.

It's private by design: end-to-end encrypted, and your data is never used to train AI.

Why I'm making it

I built WhatsHappening because I needed it.

After burning out trying to build a "big company" three years ago, I felt completely lost, lonely, and on autopilot. I took a break and found IFS (Internal Family Systems). Over the next two years in therapy, I learned something profound: healing starts with giving every part of you space to speak. No fixing, no advice — just curiosity and acknowledgment.

That weekly hour with my therapist saved me. But I needed that safety between the sessions — when I was triggered, when I'd had an argument with my loved ones, when scarcity hit and different parts of me started screaming. I needed a place where I could speak freely and be truly heard, where someone would ask me the right questions to go deeper instead of giving advice, and where nothing would be lost.

So I built the companion I wanted for my own healing journey — one that acknowledges every part of me, notices things I'd have missed on my own, and organises everything I share into my life's anchors, automatically. Over time I naturally reduced therapy, from weekly to bi-weekly, and eventually paused it a few months ago — not because I don't value therapy, but because I feel equipped to hold space for myself now.

I built this from the mountains of Dharamshala as my life's work, not a startup. It's for people on a healing journey, for souls who embrace sensitivity, for anyone who needs a space where every part is welcome.

Where it's at

Built and live — now in the sharing stage, getting it into the hands of people who journal, who practise introspection, and who value emotional processing between (or instead of) therapy sessions.
