What if laughter is one of the best tools we have for getting through life? For me, humor has always been a faithful companion, a way to clear the air, soften difficult moments, and find a little breathing room when things feel overwhelming.

In this episode, I reflect on the role humor has played in my life, from helping me navigate awkward moments when I was younger to giving me perspective on the unexpected challenges of getting older. I've learned that laughter doesn't make the hard things disappear, but it can break them into smaller pieces, make room for connection, and remind us not to take ourselves quite so seriously. Sometimes, the most healing thing we can do is find something to laugh about, even when life gives us very little reason to smile.
