13. Happiness
What does it mean to be happy?
What does it mean to be happy? What are the most reliable sources of joy? Is the world a sadder place these days? Join Mae, Bisha, Ned and Steve who will have a pop at working it all out. This week, Mae reveals her happiest memory (it involves a doughnut), Bisha investigates whether social media is making us feel worse and Ned tidies his room to find joy. Comedian and host of the Guilty Feminist podcast (and co-creator of GrownUpLand) Deborah Frances-White is in the studio to discuss morning coats and eyebrows, and Steve Ali puts everything into perspective.
