In this episode, you are going to learn the art of having more fun.

 

I share a hilarious story about a major wardrobe malfunction with you and two podcast crew members.

 

You’ll laugh along at all the ridiculous details, but the takeaway is serious:

 

Learning how to laugh at yourself is a superpower, and research says people who have a sense of humor are more respected and are viewed as more confident and intelligent by their peers.

 

Today you’ll learn: 

  • How having fun in life is an art form
  • How to turn something embarrassing into something hilarious and relatable
  • How humor increases power and status
  • Why it’s important to not take yourself too seriously
  • How to create a bond and change the tone in any social situation
  • Why it’s imperative to never buy a bodysuit that is too small

 

Seriously? You need to laugh more. Let’s start today.
