On this week’s GoalChat, we talked about humor and the power of laughter with Amber J. Lawson, Cathy Nesbitt, and Steve Waverly. Amber J is founder of Grown Ass Woman and co-founder of Comedy Gives Back, Cathy Nesbitt teaches Laughter Yoga, and Steve Waverly is a screenwriter, whose films include Broken Diamonds.
We discussed the value of humor in life and work, the draw of fun and positive energy, and simple ways to bring more joy and lightness into everyday life.
The Value of Humor
- Amber J: Laughter is life’s medicine
- Cathy: It breaks down barriers, it’s essential for a good life
- Steve: There is humor in everything
Best Ways to Lighten Up
- Cathy: Instead of getting mad in traffic, laugh. Decide that everything is funny.
- Amber J: Try improv; it gives you permission to fail and lighten up
- Steve: Have fun! Don’t take yourself to seriously

Goals
- Steve: Run around the block, get some exercise, change your perspective: not everything is life and death, some things are
- Cathy: Find a laugher buddy. Do something every day that brings you joy
- Amber J: Go to a live comedy show this week; sit in the dark with strangers and laugh
Final Thoughts
- Cathy: Stop looking at all the things going on in the world, stop complaining, you can’t control a lot of things
- Amber J: If you write a goal down, it has a 65% chance, if you share it, it has a 90% chance. Write down your goals and share them
- Steve: People say things have never been so bad. It’s not true. Remember life is beautiful
