Laughter is Medicine, Setting the Bar with The Really Real Mama

Episode Summary

Interview begins at 6.28

Amber Albin is a mom, wife, lawyer, former nurse, children's author, overcommitter, recovering Mormon and two-faced Gemini.  She makes self-deprecating and sometimes funny videos on the IG grid, and she chronicles her life on IG stories. She has a very popular podcast called The Really Real Mama.  Today Amber and I are touching on the importance of laughter, even in the face of a major personal, community and political shifts.  It’s important to fill your cup up and come from a place of strength, balance and health in every area.  We get a glimpse into Amber’s life as a woman, a mom, a lawyer, a comedian and a delight!  We have a very inspiring conversation about finding the faith that resonates with you, making life changes, dropping into vulnerability, setting powerful examples and finding the joy in a sometimes hard life.
