Holiday health etiquette plus the first female crash test dummy is (finally) here

This week, Karissa and Arielle tackle two big, very real-world solutions: how to gracefully ask friends and family if they're sick before a holiday hangout, and why the U.S. finally introducing its first female crash test dummy is a major win for road safety and equity. They unpack expert advice on setting health boundaries without drama, explain how the new THOR-05F model closes a decades-long safety gap for women and smaller drivers, and share a quick round-up of other uplifting stories from The Optimist Daily. They also spotlight an excerpt from Barnet Bain's upcoming book How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World and explore how deeper friendship and human connection can be powerful tools for personal and collective well-being. (You can read the excerpt and preorder the book here .) Transcript link: https://www.optimistdaily.com/?p=1421212 Want to be part of the Optimism Movement? Become an Emissary .
