KEY POINTS

Ever heard the saying, “It’s better to give than to receive?” Hosts Patricia Wu and Jessica Reyes discuss how dedicating your time to a cause you believe in not only helps others, but it also works wonders for your own happiness and fulfillment.

Mood Booster

Helping others triggers the release of feel-good chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin in your brain. This natural high leaves you feeling happier and more connected to others.

Purpose and Perspective

Contributing to something bigger than yourself can give your life a sense of meaning and direction. It helps you focus on what truly matters, reducing stress and anxiety.

Stronger Connections

Volunteering and community involvement are great ways to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones. Social connection is key to our overall well-being.
