CatharSIS: a Podcast about the Meaning of Life
CatharSIS is a podcast about the meaning of life, created by Michal and Maayan as a way to honor the life of their dad, an Oncologist/Hematologist who would often ask his patients, family, friends, even strangers: “What’s the meaning of life?” It’s a relatable podcast where two sisters, both Associate Marriage and Family Therapists, interview different people about the meaning of life, existentialism, friendship, relationships, love, death, grief, and nostalgia. If you want to learn more about psychology in general and how to apply it to your daily life, you may follow their Instagram @sistersinpsychology and their website www.sistersinpsychology.com.
