In this uplifting episode, I’m joined by Neelam Dabholkar, founder of Enyi Health, to explore the powerful role laughter, art, and connection play in the emotional and mental health of older adults.
Neelam shares her innovative “Happiness Kits” and “Happiness Cafes” — creative, activity-based programs designed to bring joy, purpose, and social engagement to seniors. We also talk about laughter therapy, cultural storytelling, and how joy can be a gateway to healing, especially for those in memory care and assisted living communities.
Whether you’re a family caregiver, senior care professional, or someone thinking about your own future aging journey, this episode is a reminder that play, creativity, and laughter aren’t luxuries — they’re lifelines.
Let’s dive in.
