Humor lightens moods, connects us to each other and helps us remember things... but it can also go so far as to actually save our lives.  Lisa David Olson shares why humor means everything to her because when she was ready to end her life, she turned to humor instead.  This amazing woman has such a delightful personality and is so talented, I'm grateful for her and her example of using humor to truly live.

Lisa David Olson is a humorist speaker, author, podcaster and performer who shares how humor saved her life.  Her interactive style and ‘improv for real life' message demonstrates how humor is healthy and is a cohesive human connector.   Ask about her project in bravery!  There are a couple of presentations often requested:  :: The Magnitude of Asking One Question Awaken a wonder in celebrating curiosity, learning usable improv tips for real life and connecting with anyone (anyone!) with One Question.   :: Can Humor Save Your Life? A message of surviving childhood trauma, choices instead of excuses and connecting through humor.   Olson’s two decades of improvisation and performing are pivotal to coach workplace teams or in a play shop for adults.  Get your creativity in motion! What if? Why not? Rediscover exploration, laughter and daring ourselves daily!  

-'Laughs On Wry' is a memoir made of short stories capped off with  thoughts to ponder.   The creativity journal is "What Ifs and Why Nots".   

-Podcast: Stranger Connections: celebrating weird life stories and quirky careers (and pranks).  

-Olson's comedy album of actual telemarketer calls is Phun on the Phone (iTunes).   

-Her two TEDx talks were released in 2021.   Whether it's a keynote presentation, workshop or breakout session, her passion is contagious!  

Ask about creativity workshops for groups who crave to find a different angle for their project or team dynamic.  Improvisation, when taught for the workplace, provides new energy for stale thinking.

When you take a toddler to a funeral, anything can happen.  Listen in this week to learn how to lighten the mood and improve your mental and physical health with one simple habit: Laughing.  Here's some funny stories and some fun habits to help you laugh more in your life.

When you’re too focused on 1 thing, other things can happen that you don’t expect, people come out of nowhere and you might even fall on your face to save them… that’s what this week’s guest experienced!  And the lesson she learned?  HAVE MORE FUN IN ALL YOU DO.

Danielle Kloberdanz was born and raised in The Netherlands. After completing her M.A. in Developmental Psychology, she met her American husband and moved to California. They currently raise their four children in San Diego.

Despite having achieved her dream of having a large family, she found herself wondering, Is this all there is to life? Parenting was more challenging and less fulfilling than she had imagined. Fueled by disillusionment and the hope that there was something more, she embarked on a series of spiritual practices and mindset tools that ultimately led to a life changing awakening, transforming her outlook on life and instilling a new understanding of motherhood.

This experience birthed the Inner Compass Living company and community, and the first book in a series, Inner Compass Mom.  She hopes to encourage others on their path towards increased inner peace, joy and fulfillment.

Her 3 habits to help us enjoy life and be happier are:

1- Be aware of your thoughts and emotions and take action with them.

2- Practice Gratitude in simple ways daily.

3-  Have more fun!

We're back! This week's story isn't about laughs and humor, but has brought SO much joy into my life.  I'm grateful every day for the lessons I learned from postpartum depression.  The simpler the habits, the more powerful the results.  If you struggle with mental health, here are 3 habits to help you make some immediate changes that might just change your life, much like they did mine.  These are my 3 favorite mental health habits that I still practice today, on auto pilot, 4 years later.

You have amazing feet, and they were custom built just for you.  Dress them in custom built shoes so that they feel loved and protected and thus will serve you your whole life long.  Shoes are a fantastic fashion feature that I have loved since I was a kid. They were always a way to express myself and they even helped me marry the man I love!

Today, we’re learning about 3 parts of your feet and how to taylor your exercise shoes specifically to your feet.  When your feet are happy and properly supported, they will do amazing things for the rest of your body.  If you suffer from foot pain, this might be the answers you’re searching for.  If you don’t have foot pain, let’s keep it that way!  Listen up and follow these 3 habits regarding workout shoes:

1- Know your own feet: your arches, toe splay, and heel support needed for what you’re doing.

2- Buy shoes that work those fantastic feet.

3- Use shoes as a reward that motivates you to continue healthy living.
