How Dogs Changed my Life (with The Dogist)

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human. UN Women estimates that gender-based violence costs countries about $1.5 trillion per year, but greater financial security and autonomy can help protect women from violence. The number one obstacle to safety for survivors is economic insecurity. I'm Rena Ninen, host of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women.

This season, we're sharing stories on how putting a hard price tag on gender-based violence is upending the status quo. Follow Hero wherever you get your podcasts. Pushkin. When it comes to feeling happier, there's no one size fits all approach. When times get really tough, many of us have our own unique ways to cope.

And that is what we'll be exploring in this new season of the Happiness Lab: the creative strategies that different people use to bring joy back into their lives, especially during times that don't feel so great. Over the next few episodes, I'm going to be talking to people about their coping strategies, the things that bring them pleasure and calm, that get them out of the house and meeting new people, and that ultimately help them cope when they're feeling overwhelmed. You'll hear about the power of music, nature, sports, and simple hobbies to make our lives happier. And first up is the story of Elias Weiss Friedman.
