I often hear that laughter is the best medicine. But is it? For the award-winning comedian Chonda Pierce, making other’s laugh was an escape from her deep depression and loneliness. It wasn’t until she hit a wall (metaphorically) at the peak of her career that she finally had to deal with both. Not only does she open up about her story of overcoming, but she shares a few very practical tips for dealing with depression.If you don’t know who Chonda Pierce is, let me tell you. She is an Emmy nominated, best-selling comedian whose winning combination of fierce wit and southern charm has made audiences laugh for more than two decades. In fact, she’s the most awarded female comedian of all time. (There’s a funny story about that award in the interview.) And not only is she a stand-up comic, but she’s also a television host, author, and actor.In this episode, Chonda and I talk about depression and loneliness—where it comes from and what she does to cope. Read the Show Notes >>> https://auntieannebeiler.com/battling-depression-and-loneliness-with-comedian-chonda-pierce/===============>>>Download Anne's free StoryStarter Guide and learn how to share your story when you aren’t sure where to start, don’t think you have one, or are scared to open up.
