Summary

Connection is what makes us human, and community and friendships are so important for our health.

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 38 of the podcast with Stephen and David Flynn, otherwise known as the Happy Pear.

They have a mission to create a healthier, happier world and have built a community around their café of the same name in their hometown in Ireland.

In this clip, they explain how fundamental community is to our happiness and health and why connecting with others can bring us joy.
