The average 4-year old laughs more than 300 times a day. The average 40-year old? 4 times...

Only 4 times a day? That’s a shame because laughter is so good for us, regardless of age. According to health & wellness website HelpGuide.org:

“Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh.”

My guest on today’s episode of Midlife Conversations has made it her mission to bring more laughter into the world. Janet Regensburg, a veteran high school math teacher, is using her midlife years to say “yes” to a long-time passion: stand up comedy!

Janet regularly performs all across the tri-state area, including famous Manhattan comedy spots Caroline's, Dangerfield’s, Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, West Side Comedy Club, Greenwich Village Comedy Club, & the Comic Strip. She’s even performed internationally in Yarmouth, England!

How did Janet make the transition from classroom to comedy? Watch today’s episode of Midlife Conversations to find out!

Famed poet Mary Oliver asks us, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Janet said "Yes" to a second act in comedy. What are you saying "Yes" to these days?

Wishing you laughter 300 times a day,
