Happiness. For some, the word sparks joy. For others, it feels complicated. In this episode, we’re unpacking what happiness truly means — and why our own perspectives on the word itself are surprisingly different.

Inspired by research from a UC Berkeley professor who studies happiness, we explore three key factors proven to boost your well-being:

  • Human connection — why in-person connection is essential for joy.

  • Expressing gratitude — how appreciation shifts your mindset.

  • Volunteering — the surprising way giving back benefits you, too.

We also share personal stories and simple practices we use to spark happiness in our own lives — even on hard days.

If you’ve ever wondered why happiness can feel so elusive or how to cultivate more of it, this conversation is a heartfelt mix of science, personal reflection, and actionable tips you can try today.
