Midlife—whether you’re in your 40s, 50s or 60s—it’s a wonderful time to be a woman. No longer do we have to beat ourselves up (or down) and feel as if life as we know it is over. With age comes wisdom, and many midlife women could teach a thing or two to the younger generation. Midlife women are knocking down the old stereotypes and showing the world we’re more than just a ‘woman of a certain age.’ We are midlife.

When was the last time you had a good laugh? I mean that cathartic, belly-hugging, soul singing kinda laughter? Our bodies need laughter. It’s healing. It’s powerful. In some ways, it’s contagious.

On this episode, I’m having a great chat with NaKaisha Tolbert-Banks. NaKaisha is, among other things, an author,  clinical social worker, Certified Laughter EmpowerMEnt Coach, clinical addictions counselor and energy leadership master practitioner. She’s also the founder and CEO of DUO EmpowerMEnt Services, LLC, a firm that provides therapeutic counseling, life coaching, mental wellness consulting and training services. In our chat, we discuss the importance of laughter, the universal nature of laughter, how she employs laughter in her practice and more.

• Her background as a social worker.
• Why laughter?
• The universal language of laughter.
• How NaKaisha employs laughter in her practice (laughter yoga, relaxation, medication, etc.).
• Empowerment and midlife women
• How she finds balance in her life.
