When Laughter is Healing—Using Humor to Talk About the Hardest Things with JJ Barrows


Listen Later

Episode 111 

Today I am talking with the comedian JJ Barrows. And yes, this episode made me laugh, but I also cried, because we went DEEP! I found JJ when one of her videos was recommended to me and since it was about growing up southern Baptist and not being allowed to shave my legs past her knees, I had to watch. Growing up southern Baptist myself, I resonated with her story quite a bit. But after that one video I had to check out more and fell in love with JJ. She is wonderful. She’s hilarious, creative, interesting, passionate, a new mom, and author, and as I said before, not afraid to go deep. I really resonated with her ideas about using comedy to talk about hard things and how healing laughter can be. So that was something we spent quite a bit of time on in this episode.  

Plus you get to hear the leg shaving story! 

You are going to love this episode and you are really going to love JJ. 

Listen and share this episode with a friend.
