Description

In this week's episode of The Optimist Daily's Weekly Roundup, Arielle and Karissa return from a fall break with a fresh wave of uplifting stories, diving right into two standout solutions of the week. First: the "bike bus" phenomenon turning school mornings into joyful, community-powered parades across the world. Next: surprising new research revealing how art gallery visits (and even looking at reproductions) can measurably lower stress and inflammation.

Plus, find out a little more about Swim Sista Swim, Hands United, Move Over Bob, and Amy Howlett-Johnson, our featured Changemakers these last couple weeks. And meet this week's inspiring Local Changemakers: Shower The People and Bounty & Soul.

It's a hopeful, human-focused episode full of community, creativity, and small changes driving meaningful impact.
