Wellness Check Wednesday Podcast | Episode 67: "The Role of Humor in Mental Health"

They say laughter is the best medicine—and there's more truth to that than you might think. In this episode, we explore how humor supports mental health, helps us cope with stress, builds connection, and creates space for emotional release.

Humor doesn’t erase life’s challenges, but it can give us perspective, resilience, and moments of light in the darkness. Whether it's a shared laugh with a friend or finding the funny in frustrating moments, we’ll talk about how humor can be a powerful, healing force.

Highlights from this episode:

  • The psychological and emotional benefits of humor

  • How laughter impacts the brain and body

  • Using humor as a healthy coping mechanism

  • Balancing lightness with sensitivity in difficult times

Sometimes the best way to heal is to laugh—let’s check in with a smile.
