Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally.

On our new podcast, Health Stuff, we demystify your burning health questions.

And you'll hear candid advice and personal stories from experts who want to make healthcare more human.

I feel like I never felt like I truly belonged in medicine.

I disagree.

Oh, yeah.

That is crazy.

I do it every five minutes for an hour.

My grandmother used to call it bedroom eyes.

Your phone tap's coming up right after this.

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.
