In this Mother's Day special episode, Mosheh interviews his mother-in-law Melissa Garson about happiness, parenting, and emotional resilience, concluding with a live meditation.
Happy Mother's Day! For this special episode, Mosheh sits down with Melissa Garson -- author, life coach, and his mother-in-law- -- for a conversation about happiness, parenting, relationships, and emotional resilience. Melissa opens up about her own childhood, the values she tried to instill in her daughter Alex (Mosheh’s wife), and what it's been like to see Alex become a mother herself. They also discuss her book, Recipe for Real Happiness, in which Melissa draws on her work in positive psychology to share practical tools for building happiness and emotional resilience--including "four simple ingredients" of love, gratitude, learning, and mindfulness.
