TW: Discussion about eating disorder, alcohol and drug abuse, sobriety, and self harm

Ever wondered why you're not happy all the time? Well, you're not supposed to be! It's okay not to feel the sunshine every day, and sometimes, the cloudy moments are what make the sunny ones shine even brighter.

Today, Violetta welcomes Laura Clery, a comedian and influencer best known for her comedy sketches and vlogs about her day-to-day life on social media. Laura shares how she grew in popularity through her viral characters’ Pamela Pumpkin and Hellen Horbath, and later pivoted to documenting her day to day life in a comedic sense.

From the highs and lows of existence to the complexities of relationships and personal growth, each chapter delves into the real, unfiltered moments that define our lives; finding humor in life's little annoyances, or navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce. Join us as we laugh and ponder the human experience, one chapter at a time.
