Dr. Laurie Santos from the Happiness Lab here.

It's the season of giving, and this year my podcast, the Happiness Lab, is partnering with GiveDirectly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need as part of the Pods Fight Poverty campaign.

Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will bring over 700 families out of extreme poverty.

Your donation will put cash directly in the hands of these families in need.

And they'll get to decide how to use it, whether that's school transportation, purchasing livestock, or starting a business.

Plus, if you're a first-time donor, your gift will be matched by giving multiplier, which means more money for those in need.

All right.

I actually went out with a guy as a plus one to a wedding.

Yeah, it was fancy.

Loved it.

Well, later at the reception, he asked if I could record him while he goes up to the bride.

I'm thinking maybe he's going to do something sweet, beautiful.

Sometimes it's hard to remember, but...

That was my dad, reminding me and so many others who need to hear it, that our trauma is not our shame to carry, and that we have big, bold, and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us.
