There is goodness and light out in the world.

I just know it.‍ ‍

Let’s find that bright goodness together, shall we?

On The Funny Kind™ podcast, I’ll be talking to myself (I mean, when am I not), or with others discussing topics ranging from silly rants to deep spiritual thoughts.

I promise we’ll laugh, reflect, and find inspiration while bringing heart, humor and hope to everyday life.

What You’ll Hear on The Funny Kind

Honest Conversations About Healing and Personal Growth

We talk about the real stuff up in here.

The people pleasing. The shame spirals. The overthinking. The fear. The awkward life transitions. The chin hair. The wrinkles. The “why am I still struggling with this at my age?” moments.

Episodes explore range from silly talks about silly things to deep dives into emotional healing, self worth, resilience, faith, relationships, identity, and what it actually looks like to grow through hard things without pretending you have it all together.

Meaningful Guest Interviews

Some guests will make you laugh until you snort coffee through your nose. Others will completely wreck you emotionally in the best possible way.

From deep conversations about healing and faith to funny stories, everyday wisdom, and unexpected moments of connection, these interviews remind us that everyone is carrying something, we are more alike than different, and that nobody is as alone as they think they are.

Humor in the Middle of Hard Things

I firmly believe healing and humor can exist in the same conversation as deep talks.

Sometimes we are talking about deep emotional wounds. Sometimes we are talking about menopause, weird family dynamics, embarrassing life moments, or the completely unhinged things we do as humans trying to survive adulthood.

Honestly, most episodes are a combination of all of it.

Because sometimes laughter is what finally helps us breathe again.
