▶▶ Welcome back to Dying Of Laughter! In this episode, I'm re-sharing the first episode I ever launched... This is the story of my parents getting sick: my dad's journey with ALS and my mom's journey with breast cancer. Happy holidays! Okay, that ended a little too jolly. If you're feeling holly this year, go off; if you're feeling unhinged or unwell this year, go off. You can be holly, jolly, or nolly (not jolly) and I'd support any and of all of it. YODO, you only die once! See (hear?) you in 2024. Cheers DOLlies. I really resonate with the quote: "Grief is love with nowhere to go."

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less... A Little Reminder to Slow Down!
Popping in to say hi and to remind you that less is more. We know this, yet we forget this. In , Greg McKeown reminds us that less is more in an inspiring, relatable, and digestable way! I am reading this book for the third time. Yes, you heard me. So I'm just going to leave that right there... "Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized? Are you often busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter." -Greg McKeown Rent books for FREE ! - Say hi! @dyingoflaughter_podcast / [email protected] Do you like this show?
