Humor and Healing Podcast
This timely and timeless podcast features a conversation between Joel Goodman and Jeneye Abele focusing on how laughter can help carry us through the most difficult times. Together, they reflect on how an attitude of humor doesn't mean you have to be a comedian. The simple act of choosing to laugh at ourselves and see things with childlike curiosity and light-heartedness can give us perspective on otherwise overwhelming situations. Positive humor connects us, builds confidence and makes us think about our shared humanity. And bonus, it just feels darn good to laugh. This podcast is part of a fantastic series presented by two wonderful non-profit organziations: Beyond My Battle and Unfixed Media Productions. You can lend an ear to this 36-minute podcast by going to Humor and Healing Popcast

Humor has always been an expression of the freedom of the human spirit. It is an ability to stand outside of life's flow and view the whole scene-- the incongruities, the tragedies outside our control, the unexpected. (Terry Paulson)
What playful title would you give your own autobiography?
When things get really hectic, try to step back and view your life as a situation comedy.
