Laughter and Libations
The Laughter and Libations Podcast is about the intentional pursuit of joy. I'm challenging myself to be courageous and share my stories as I shake, stir, strain, steep, brew, and mix up my favorite libations and laugh my way into a more joyful life. I’ll share experiences that highlight self-care, self-discovery, laughter, and anything that can be a catalyst for increasing joy.

This month's theme is about unexpected situations and the freedom to choose how to respond. Lately, the unexpected seems to be happening every day. It means we all get a chance to practice dealing with life's surprises.
I share a few experiences with unexpected situations, lessons learned, and many laughs in this episode.
- Laughing Matters features the end-of-the-month highlights and usually includes four segments: celebrations, libation of the month, rants, and questions and answers.
- Celebrations are about intentionally forming a habit of noticing and acknowledging the good within and around you.
- Libation of the month is based on whatever I fancy or feel inspired by at the time. I share step-by-step instructions and you can mix right along with me.
- Rants or stories are about anything I find funny and want to share.
- Ask me a question. It might be featured in a future episode.
