Happy Sunday, y'all. Elise Hugh here. Today we're bringing you a Sunday pick where we share an episode of another podcast from TED, handpicked by us for you. Are you feeling emotionally stuck or struggling to navigate difficult emotions? What if your hardest emotional challenges could be solved by talking with a stranger?

In honor of the start of Mental Health Awareness Month, we are sharing a recent episode from

How to Be a Better Human, hosted by Chris Duffy. Chris sat down with Yo-Wei Shaw, who hosts her own podcast

called Proxy, a show that investigates your niche emotional conundrums

by connecting strangers going through similar situations.

In this conversation, Yo-Wei and Chris talk about the power of knowing

you're not the only person going through something, however specific.

Whether it's losing your job, a friend breakup, or an alternate version of your life

that you can't let go of,

Yo-Way has a method to make it all make more sense.

How to Be a Better Human looks in unexpected places for new ways to improve and show up for one another.
