Your Daily Dose of Feel-Good Stories from the Past Week

Today, I share feel-good stories that highlight neighborhood generosity, sea turtle rescue, conservation progress, student heroism, and happiness research. In this episode, you’ll find uplifting news about a “pay as you can” long-table in Stroud where shared meals build resilience, a woman in Florida who stayed with a rescued sea turtle until it was ready to return to the wild, and trail-cam sightings of mountain bongos renewing hope in Kenya. We also hear how a German school’s Day of Courage helps students practice anti-discrimination, and how Dutch kids’ happiness is linked to strong social support and safer towns.
