Time to Put on Your Party Pants
Chances are, you know a lot of people. Some of them you work with, some are family or friends, and many of them are simply acquaintances. Of all of the people you know, how many would you consider “uptight”?
I don’t know about you, but I know quite a few uptight people that seem to have lost their sense of humor somewhere along the way. In a day and age where we have more to do than time to do it, lots of stress, and competing priorities, having a sense of humor isn’t a nicety, it’s a necessity.

Did you know that people with a sense of humor live longer, get sick less, earn more, and are actually better looking? Research has proven that laughter boosts the immune system, relaxes the body, and even protects the heart!
It’s time to put on your party pants! Lighten up, laugh, and have some fun. Whether your find your laughter through being around friends, going to comedy clubs, watching funny movies, or just being goofy, don’t underestimate the power of a belly laugh and a sense of humor.

Anne breaks down the daily habits and skills needed to grow and cultivate RESILIENCE.
If you’re waiting to feel ready, confident, or 100% sure before you take that next step, you might be waiting forever. Growth is messy, uncomfortable, and sometimes downright painful—but it’s also where the magic happens.
Discomfort isn’t a stop sign; it’s a signal that you’re stretching into something bigger. Choose growth anyway. #resilience #growthmindset #getcomfortablebeinguncomfortable
How are you protecting your energy this month?
A. Setting boundaries and saying “no” without guilt 🚫
B. Taking time to rest and recharge 💤
C. Surrounding yourself with people who lift you up 💡
D. Something else? Share below! 👇
Protecting your energy isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Every small step you take to protect your peace matters.
If you’ve ever tried to get your boss to approve extra time off, your partner to help around the house, or your kids to put down their phones, you know how tough it can be to change someone else’s behavior.
One of the most powerful tools we can use to influence behavior isn’t authority—it’s common ground.
When people feel like they’re being forced to change, they resist. But when they see that change as aligned with their values, identity, or sense of belonging, they embrace it.

A few years ago, I had the honor of speaking alongside @mariashriver at a women’s leadership conference.
She joked that she gave up self-doubt for Lent.
Everyone has a nagging voice of fear and self-doubt. Listening to it is a choice.
I’m here to remind you that you are strong, you are courageous, and you are resilient! You’ve got this, and I am grateful for you. #internationalwomensday

It is great to know that having a sense of humor makes me “good looking.” The video is great, thanks for sharing. The ending was fantastic.
Not that you need help being better looking 🙂 Have a great week!
I love how freely he danced around! Without a care of what other people thought about him. And that he knew to bow is hilarious! Thank you for sharing that video. Saturday night I was up late with my 2 teenage daughters and I was overly tired and got all giggly with them. I love it when that happens.
Me too!
Put on your party pants!!! Want to see you wearing yours the next time you speak to our group! (I’ll wear mine if you’ll wear yours!)
You got it!
