Welcome to the very first episode of a new podcast, CatharSIS, a show about the meaning of life. Meet the creators of the show, Michal and Maayan, two sisters and professionals in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, and learn why they decided to start this podcast.

They discuss how the recent passing of their father, an Oncologist/Hematologist, inspired this podcast and the mission behind it. Having often worked with terminally ill patients, their dad had many insightful conversations surrounding the meaning of life.

Michal and Maayan let us in on what we can expect from listening to this podcast, including using their professional backgrounds in psychology to explore and cope with topics of grief, relationships, vulnerability, attachment, existential crisis, enhancing the quality of life, and much more.

They explain what life events inspired them to go into the field of psychology--including being children of divorce. Additionally, they discuss what motivates them to live every day, and how they learned to develop a deeper sense of self-worth.

Make sure to check out the music in the last 2 minutes -- Michal and Maayan created that song in 1999 when they were kids and always had fun creating songs on the piano.

The rest of the piano music was composed and played by Michal Y. Bick © 2020
