About this listen

Humor can play a significant role in how we relate to each other and ourselves.


It’s a release valve for stress; a way to connect with friends, family, and colleagues; and a way to acknowledge our mistakes and mishaps without beating ourselves up. Sharing laughter or a joke with others levels the playing field, giving us something in common whether we’re strangers in an elevator or old friends.


I believe my sense of humor is truly a gift that has helped me live with my disability, find light even in the darkest times, not take myself or my challenges too seriously, and build the connections and relationships that are most important to me.


Listen to the full episode to hear:

  • How humor reveals our personalities and forges connections
  • How using humor can cut tension and allow us to be more open and honest
  • The difference between laughing at and laughing with
  • How being able to laugh at yourself shows self-confidence and shifts perspectives
