Text us, We would love to her from YOU!

What if laughter isn’t a break from healing… but part of the healing itself?

In this uplifting and surprisingly practical conversation, Dr. Sandra Marie welcomes intuitive reader and teacher Melissa Abell to explore how humor, play, and spiritual lightness help regulate the body, restore perspective, and reconnect us with a sense of safety.

While so much growth work focuses on effort, processing, and fixing what’s wrong, Melissa opens another doorway, one available in ordinary moments, shared smiles, absurd mishaps, and even deliberate practice.

Together they bridge neuroscience, trauma recovery, intuitive guidance, and lived experience to ask:

👉 What if joy is not a reward at the end of the journey? 

👉 What if it’s fuel for the path itself?

You’ll hear stories of “pre-emptive joy,” the biology of laughter, how connection changes our state, and why many therapists believe trauma healing is impossible without moments of play.

The episode closes with a gentle, guided 90-second nervous system reset you can return to anytime.

✨ In this conversation:

• Why laughter immediately shifts us into the present moment
• What happens in the body during humor and connection
