Seriously Funny: Women Who Humor and Change the Rules

This episode is pure magic because I get to talk to my friend, Jocelyn Brady of BetterBrainStories.com. She is a fellow storyteller and play advocate who has been called the Bye Nye of The Brain and wears a brain cap in her vids. In this amazing episode, we talk about:

Why we NEED stories of productive play
Tiny wins matter - little victories are so important
Elevating KPIS that are hard to measure - curiosity, overcoming perfectionism - these matter and why aren't we tracking?
Triggers are teachers

AND I think most importantly why our inner critic needs to play because once we play with it, we can move forward. Also, why everyone can benefit from improv to expand your thinking, your stories and your possibilities.

To your success!

A few Highlights from our convo....

Why we love bloopers and when sketch comedians 'break character' (it's all about showing up real)
How improv skills in life and business are about taking up space and accepting ourselves - this is a biggie to everything good
We need to be measuring success also by the amount of fun we're having
Why not having fun is a red flag for burn-out (listen up!)
Mistakes are hilarious (absolutely!)

S2, Ep 3: Humor, Comedy and the Resilient, Life-Changing Power of Accepting All of Who You are: My chat with Andrea Vahl

Andrea Vahl and I go way back to speaking and marketing.

She is a social media consultant, speaker, comedian and host of Late Starters Club Podcast. Hey, she and I know it’s never too late to change your life.

Andrea and I laugh and chat about some big lessons for all of us about the healing and connecting power of humor. One of the biggest reminders for all of us is the resilience and power behind accepting all of yourself: the good, the OMG and the hard stuff.

Because it's completely human. It's where the good stuff is.

You will definitely want to check this one out. We touch on:

Comedy as healing and a way to help us get over the fear of failure (I can confirm!)
Humor is showing our fears and being willing to laugh
Leadership needs vulnerability and imperfection and humor helps us be more human
When you learn to fail well, which comedy helps with, you learn resilience - there is nothing you can’t get over
Comedy-thinking helps us get over judgment of ourselves and others
Confidence comes from giving and owning your point of view (POV)
Bombing and turning into the spiral (riding it down with laughter!)
