The hosts of Happiness Reflected Season 3, Maria, Youngjin, Olivia (Xander) and Kasia gather for one last happy conversation to reflect on what they have taken away from their conversations with this season's guest artists. 

Host Youngjin and guest artist Ellie talk about ways to cultivate meaning and purpose in life, especially student lives, in relation to her short story The Push.

Kasia has a conversation with guest artist Atlas, who shares insights through their poem Finding a Home within this Body and what they are learning about happiness through showing up for themselves. 

Host Kasia and guest artist Sonika discuss her poem Little Things. They explore happiness as a universal human need and how being mindful of simple everyday moments cultivates wellbeing.

Host Maria and guest artist Sarah draw inspiration from Sarah's performance piece Ready or Not to talk about rediscovering child-like joy in our day-to-day, and how this can help promote happiness and overall well being. Follow Sarah Wilson’s work on Instagram, @thepulpexperience
