Episode 4: The Power of Ritual & the Relationship of (all) Our Roles to Happiness

In this episode, Angela and Morgan explore how ritual is different from routine and its associated benefits to wellbeing and joy. Angela talks about her own rituals - a daytime run and nighttime tea and how ritual has infiltrated her parenting; Morgan shares how the pandemic has created a new and life-altering morning ritual for her and her family. Shifting gears, we explore the intensity at which we mother and work outside the home and how this has changed over the last 50-60 years. We ask big questions: "Has the intensity in which we work or mother increased our overall happiness?" "How has the number of options (i.e. the selection of roles we can now take on) impacted our happiness?" and "Are we being honest with ourselves about the options we are choosing; do we really want to parent, work or volunteer in this way?"Laugh with us. Explore with us. And possibly, even learn with us.
