Manage episode 502532530 series 3561926
In this lighthearted and laughter-filled episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, co-hosts Shawna Kaminski and Alli Kerr welcome Canadian author and comedian Colleen Landry. Colleen has a gift for helping us see the humor in everyday life, and she proves that aging really does become more manageable with a smile.
What makes Colleen especially relatable is her down-to-earth and witty presence on social media. She became an “accidental” online sensation by sharing hilarious and honest videos about family life, parenthood, menopause, and the ups and downs of aging. Her ability to laugh at life’s messier moments has struck a chord with women everywhere.
Before stepping onto the comedy stage, Colleen spent 30 years as a teacher in New Brunswick. Along the way, she discovered a love for writing and published countless articles in outlets like Canadian Living, The Globe and Mail, and The Irish Times. She has also authored four children’s books, a popular humor book, and is now hard at work on her second humor title.
Now in her second act, Colleen brings her humor and perspective to new stages as a keynote speaker and stand-up comedian. Retirement, for her, isn’t about slowing down—it’s about exploring new passions, embracing creativity, and living with vibrancy and joy.
In this conversation, Colleen shares her comedic inspirations, her take on aging with humor, and how she’s redefining what retirement can look like. Whether you’re craving a good laugh or hoping for a fresh perspective on life after work, this episode will leave you smiling and inspired to see your own golden years in a new light.
