April is National Humor Month! There is nothing better than laughing! And you adorable badasses, we need it more than ever! Research shows that humor and laughing helps you physically and mentally.

 

Laughter isn't just fun—it’s powerful. Here’s how:

 

🧠 1. Laughter is a Mental Reset

Laughter helps break the cycle of stress, fear, and overthinking. When you laugh, your brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine and endorphins. These improve mood, increase optimism, and help you bounce back faster from life’s curveballs.

 

💪 2. Humor Builds Confidence

Being able to laugh at yourself (and life) gives you power over your fears. It’s a sign of self-trust. People who use humor in tough situations are often seen as more confident, resilient, and in control—even when things get messy.

 

🤝 3. Humor Strengthens Social Bonds

Sharing a laugh creates instant connection. It lowers defenses, builds trust, and makes you more approachable. Empowered women lift each other up—and often, they do it with a wink, a meme, or a shared belly laugh.

 

🧘 4. Laughter = Lightness + Perspective

Humor reframes challenges. It invites you to see things through a lighter lens. When you learn to find the funny, you loosen the grip of fear or perfectionism. That mental shift? Total empowerment.

 

💃 5. Laughter Reconnects You with Play

Empowerment isn’t all grit—it’s also joy. Humor reminds you of your inner child, your creative spark, and your right to take up space just as you are. When you let yourself laugh freely, you reconnect to freedom.

 

To help just a little, in honor of this wonderful month of April, once again let's focus the next 30 days on laughing and playing. Once again, let's declare this "Be a Goofball" month! Can't quite commit? Just take a small step and be a "goofball in training."
