TITLE
Can We Laugh At Our Embarrassing Moments?
GUEST
Joanne Jarret
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Joanne shares a few of her embarrassing stories, and we talk about why it’s important to be able to laugh at ourselves, and how this increases connection and can break shame and isolation. We talk about what internal overstimulation is, and the difference between ruminating and working something out. We explore the difference between processing an interaction and gossiping.
