Welcome to CatharSIS, a podcast about the Meaning of Life. We are two sisters, Michal and Maayan, who are both Associate Marriage and Family Therapists.

We created this podcast in honor of our Dad, who was an Oncologist/Hematologist. He loved to ask everyone: “What is the meaning of life?” In other words, what brings your life meaning? What are constant themes in your life that have motivated you thus far? We will explore questions like these in our podcast. Join us weekly for new episodes!

Have you ever thought about the Meaning of Life?

What is our Purpose here?

How do we cope with an existential crisis?

Why isn't death and grief normalized in our society when it is so common?

CatharSIS is a podcast about the meaning of life, created by two sisters who are in the field of Marriage of Family Therapy.

This podcast was created in honor of dad, who was a Hematologist/Oncologist, a medical doctor who would always ask everyone and anyone: "What is the meaning of life?"

Join us as we go on this journey of interviewing people and delving deeper into their *own* personal meaning of life: how they cope with an existential crisis, the journey of human connection, relationships, friendships, nostalgia, grief, death, and everything in between.

Our dad challenged us and had a radical opinion about human life and human connection. His meaning of life was put simply in one word: Reaffirmation. He believed that 'Reaffirmation of Self' meant that we are all looking for validation in our existence.

We look forward to exploring that concept in our podcast.

Here is a snippet of his opinion we actually recorded months prior to his death.

[Snippet]: "In a world where I'm a drop in the ocean, to be completely happy and satisfied in my environment, all I need is one friend. Two friends, it's a luxury. The ultimate friend is the one you open up your soul to, the one you share with, the one who actually gives you the full reaffirmation that you thirst for. We all do that. We all have the thirst for reaffirmation."

It's really thanks to him that we started exploring these concepts from such a young age.

We hope you enjoy this journey with us, as we get a little deeper with people.

Our aim is to promote more love and more connection while recognizing the different ways we can all take to get to that Reaffirmation. On an individual level, familial level, and societal level.

Thank you for tuning in!
