When Laughter Becomes Strategy
Manage episode 515172263 series 3356106
This week on Project Weight Loss, we’re diving into something that doesn’t get nearly enough credit — fun. Not the kind that just happens when everything’s perfect, but the kind you can choose, plan for, and use as strategy.
In this episode, I talk about why laughter, joy, and connection aren’t distractions from your goals — they’re essential to reaching them. From a weekend in San Francisco that reminded me how powerful community can be, to research that shows fun lowers stress and builds resilience, we’re exploring how to hold both the hard and the happy, the serious and the silly.
So tune in and let’s talk about what it means to laugh deeply, live intentionally, and see fun as fuel — for your body, your mind, and your Project Weight Loss journey.
Because laughter isn’t just a feeling — it’s a strategy.
Quote of the Week:
“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
