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

A five-year difference?

Yeah.

Ex-baby sitter.

That's a fair point.

He's like, wait, I see why we hired her now.

Yes.

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.

Visit givedirectly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and to donate.

That's givedirectly.org slash happiness lab.

I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally, a double board certified physician.

In the United States, I mean, 50% of Americans are pre-diabetic.

Extremely.

We got a text in to 78592 that says, I'm a dentist, and honestly, my number one judgment about patients isn't if they floss.
