Mac & Cheese Productions℠ is a lifestyle business that models and encourages positive adulting and increases life fulfillment and ease through building connection: to others, to opportunities, and to self.

As Saya transitions from Chicago to Winston-Salem, there’s a pause on in-person offerings as she inspects venues, chats with collaborators, and plans gatherings. Eventually the Calendar page will return with ways you can Mac & Cheese yourself in-person. If you’d like to be notified when such offerings start again, head to the Join page and choose how you’d like to stay connected and hear goodness updates.

 

Quote about adulthood by author John Green that reflects Saya Hillman's lifestyle business

 

You know that uncertain time between childhood and death? Adulthood? It can be so much more than bills, dry cleaning, and meetings.

Via services, tools, and experiences, Mac & Cheese inspires people to redefine “success,” to learn, grow, and become their most delicious versions, and to design their idyllic, perfect-fitting lives—to design their Life of Yes℠.

From its cornerstone Life of Yes℠ course to its Adulting Kit, writings to workplace facilitation, community to consulting, keynotes to events, Mac & Cheese is the best parts of kindergarten, college, and summer camp, for grownups.

"The people attracted to Mac & Cheese offerings don’t fit any particular mold or niche, but they are open to meeting new people, trying new things, hearing new ideas, and learning new things about themselves. I enjoy hanging out with that kind of a person personally, and enjoy working with that type of person so much that I offer all Cheese-Its a discount on my professional services."
"Mac & Cheese is game-changing! Through their events, Saya and her team strive to create meaningful relationships and stretch the boundaries of what it means to have the life you want."
"(M&C) events creatively challenge the norm, allowing a greater audience to get out there, mingle and have a great time. I always leave feeling inspired and thankful to have met so many people I wouldn’t have met otherwise."
