Episode Synopsis

They say laughter is the best medicine—and as medical moms, sometimes it’s the only prescription we’ve got. In this episode, we dive into the healing (and sometimes slightly inappropriate) power of humor in the hardest seasons. From laugh-so-hard-your-butt-hurts stories to the times we’ve cracked up at the “wrong” moments, we’ll talk about how dark humor helps us survive what most people can’t imagine. Along the way, we’ll explore the history of laughter as medicine, what science says about its physical and mental health benefits, and why finding the funny isn’t just survival—it’s a lifeline. Because sometimes the best therapy doesn’t come in a pill bottle…it comes with punchlines.
