2023 Top 5: #2 LAURA GREEN (@lauramcgreen): Everything’s Funny: Running, Motherhood, and Physical Therapy

Send us Fan MailToday I speak with Laura Green, a comedic content creator who loves to stand in front of people and tell jokes. Her brain is a hamster wheel of self deprecating humor focused on the run and fitness industry which she attempts to communicate via short videos and storytelling. She runs a lot. And she also naps a lot. Laura lives in Massachusetts with her husband and two young boys. We talk about Laura’s experiences postpartum and how she handled returning to run after each of her births. Laura tells us about working as a travel physical therapist and how she has now found a niche pointing out the humor in life, making people laugh on social media.
