Description

Carrie Starbuck is on a mission-- a research mission-- to uncover what makes communities happy. And she’s starting in a place a lot of us wouldn’t expect a solo female road traveler to begin. She’s starting with dissecting masculinity in different countries.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why Carrie is studying masculinity and its impact on happiness on communities globally
• How mental health is linked to masculinity
• The struggles and interesting insights Carrie has gained as a researcher
