What if humor is more than entertainment-and actually a tool for healing? Clinical psychologist and stand-up comedian Dr. Kristen Wynns explores how humor can help us create connection, cope with adversity, and build resilience. Drawing from psychology, her own unexpected journey into comedy, and deeply personal experiences, she reveals that a sense of humor isn’t just something you’re born with-it’s a skill we can strengthen. Her challenge: become a little less serious, a little more silly, and discover how laughter can change the way we move through life’s hardest moments. Dr. Kristen Wynns is a child and adolescent psychologist, founder of Wynns Family Psychology, and author of The No Wimpy Parenting Handbook, whose work has shaped parenting and youth mental health for over 25 years. A sought-after media expert, speaker, and stand-up comedian, she blends psychology and humor to help people build resilience, confidence, and meaningful connection.
