Happy Passover, Happy Easter... Let's Just Be Happy

This weeks podcast was all about a global happiness hack.. just share a meal with someone. With Passover and Easter just around the corner, I hope we all get to spend time around our tables with the people we care about. Remember it is not about the presentation it is about the presence.

Did you know one of the simplest ways to boost your happiness might be sitting right at your dinner table?

In this solo episode, I dive into a fascinating chapter of the World Happiness Report 2025 that explores something near and dear to my heart: the power of sharing meals.

From the data to the dinner table, I’m connecting the dots between science, culture, and personal experience — showing how something as ordinary as a shared meal can have extraordinary effects on our well-being.

You’ll hear reflections on:
 💛 How meal sharing shapes our emotional and social health
 🧠 A curious connection between happiness and our nervous system
 🍽️ The real reason gathering for a meal matters

Whether you're dining with family, inviting a neighbor over for lunch, or just planning to break bread with a friend, this episode is your reminder that connection doesn’t require perfection — just presence.

P.S. I have been learning all about Passover, in a fabulous cookbook by Hélène Jawhara Piñer: Matzah and Flour Recipes from the History of the Sephardic Jews, I can't wait to interview Hélène and share her insight with you.
