Laughter and Libations

Episode 115: Laughing Matters (October 2025)

Shawneille Campbell-Dunbar Season 5 Episode 115

Text comments and questions here!

October has been a heavy month for me. Perhaps you can relate. This episode is meant to acknowledge this and encourage laughter to break through the  heaviness and continue on this journey to increase joy in your life and those round you. 

It's the beginning of the holiday season. Yet, I’ve found it hard to celebrate. I touch on this and share a reminder that we aren’t powerless even though so much around us may be out of our control. In the midst of it all, we can cultivate gratitude. I also reflect on self-improvement, which is a humorous and continuous adventure.
