That thing stressing you out today? There’s a good chance you’ll look back on it someday and laugh.

So why wait?

It’s Day 16 of the Laughter Challenge and Climb a Mountain Day! Katy is using today’s theme as a reminder that whatever mountain you’re facing right now probably won’t feel this big forever.

Instead of waiting until you’re on the other side to find the humor in it, Katy invites you to laugh right now.

In this episode:

•  Looking at today’s stress from a different perspective 
•  Remembering that what feels huge now may not feel that way forever 
•  Finding laughter while you’re still climbing the mountain 
•  One minute of intentional laughter 

Whatever mountain you’re climbing today, keep going.

And if you’re going to laugh about it someday anyway... why not laugh now? 😂

Katy brought a chicken along for the occasion. There's just one small problem...

He ain't got no wings. 😂

In this episode:

•  Celebrating National Chicken Wing Day... sort of 
•  Katy's wingless chicken 
•  A little music, play, and silliness 
•  One minute of laughter 

Why not give yourself a reason to laugh today? Enjoy your day!

Life’s storms don’t magically disappear just because we laugh. But laughter might make them a little easier to move through.

It’s Day 14 of the Laughter Challenge, and Katy shares a quote from Emery Lord comparing laughter to a flotation device. It may not pull you out of the storm, but it can help carry you through it.

Today’s minute of laughter is a reminder that we don’t have to wait until everything is perfect to find a moment of lightness.

In this episode:

•  Thinking of laughter as a flotation device during difficult moments 
•  Finding lightness even when life feels stormy 
•  Using laughter to help carry you through 
•  One minute of intentional laughter 

You may not be able to control the storm, but you can give yourself something to hold onto while you move through it.

Take a breath, laugh along with Katy, and keep floating. ❤️

What happens when you send Katy out for a baker's dozen? Apparently, only 12 doughnuts make it home. 😂

It’s Day 13 of the Laughter Challenge, and naturally, Katy is celebrating with a baker's dozen... or at least what's left of one after a little “quality control.”

She's bringing a doughnut joke, a minute of laughter, and another reminder that sometimes we don't need a deep reason to laugh. A little silliness will do just fine.

In this episode:

•  Katy's very reasonable baker's dozen “finder's fee” 
•  A delightfully corny doughnut joke 
•  Finding simple reasons to laugh 
•  One minute of intentional laughter 

Make it a great day — and maybe don't send Katy to pick up the doughnuts. 🍩😂

It’s Day 12 of the Laughter Challenge and All or Nothing Day!

Today, Katy is taking a playful look at that all-or-nothing mindset and reminding us that sometimes we don’t need to go all in, get everything right, or make some huge change to shift how we feel.

Sometimes, all it takes is one minute of laughter.

In this episode:

•  What may be holding you back from doing the things you want to do 
•  Bringing a little more joy and lightness into your life 
•  Katy's “meter laughter” exercise 
•  Taking life one laugh at a time 

The good times and the bad don't come all at once. Sometimes we just have to measure life the same way Katy measures today's imaginary material: one laugh at a time.

It’s Day 10 of the Laughter Challenge and National Self-Care Day!

Katy is talking about the three Cs of self-care: compassion, care, and consistency. Because you can keep driving a car without oil for a while... but eventually, you're going to end up on the side of the road.

The same goes for us.

In this episode:

•  Katy’s three Cs of self-care 
•  Why constantly giving without caring for yourself catches up with you 
•  The connection between laughter, stress, emotions, and relationships 
•  Katy attempting to juggle while practicing that all-important consistency 😂 
•  One minute of intentional laughter 

Take care of yourself, laugh a little, and remember: you can't keep running on empty.

Sometimes life gives you lemons. Katy’s solution? Add a little laughter before you start making the lemonade.

It’s Day 9 of the Laughter Challenge, and Katy is exploring how laughter can help us shift our perspective, support our sense of well-being, and even help us feel a little less alone.

In this episode:

• Using laughter to shift your perspective
• Supporting your overall sense of well-being
• The connection between laughter and feeling less alone
• One minute of intentional laughter

Take a deep breath, laugh along with Katy, and see if you can turn today’s lemons into a little lemonade.

Another birthday? Another wrinkle? Another gray hair that definitely wasn’t there yesterday? 😂

It’s Day 8 of the Laughter Challenge, and Katy is talking about something that happens to all of us if we’re lucky: getting older.

Instead of dreading the number on the birthday cake or analyzing every new line in the mirror, Katy invites you to look at aging from a different perspective. Getting older is a privilege, and that sounds like a pretty good reason to laugh.

In this episode:

• Finding humor in getting older
• Shifting your perspective on aging
• Remembering that growing older is a privilege
• One minute of intentional laughter

The wrinkles may be coming either way. We might as well have some fun earning them!

Laugh along with Katy and give yourself one minute to celebrate being here.
