1 - Staying Positive in the Middle of the Pandemic, Exploring the Differences between Happiness and Joy, and Exchanging Hygge Moments What Brings You Joy

Good friends Yulez and Rach introduce the podcast, and talk about Trevor Noah and Governor Cuomo. They discuss their takes on happiness and joy, and share favorite hygge moments. 

Here are the joyful words used in the episode. According to the Oxford Dictionary, hygge is a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture). For those interested in living like a happy Dane, The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking might be a good starting point. Gigil is a Tagalog word that refers to the feeling of pure joy when in the presence of overwhelming cuteness.

Stick around for some bloopers at the end and have some fun with us. Everyone can use a smile right now.

*Footnote: this is the new version of Episode 1. We have been applying some feedback and working hard to improve :)
