meditations for mortals

from Canada's Keynote Humorist · host Judy Croon Podcast

Feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list? Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman is one of today’s hottest self-help bestsellers—and for good reason. This 28-day guide helps you slow down, stress less, and actually enjoy life… even though (spoiler alert) we’re all on the clock. In this video, I share my Top 5 Takeaways from the book, including: Why accepting your limits is freeing (not depressing) How to finally stop overthinking and start doing Why effort doesn’t always equal value How to actually be present (without chanting on a mountaintop) And how remembering we’re mortal can help us live richer, calmer lives If you’re juggling work, life, and a calendar that looks like a game of Tetris, this book—and this video—might just help you breathe again. Judy Croon is Canada’s Keynote Humorist, Tedx motivational speaker, comedian and stand-up coach at Second City. She has worked with many celebrities including; John Cleese, Jon Stewart, and Joan Rivers. Her specials have appeared on NBC, CBS, CTV and The Comedy Network. She is a co-author of ‘From the Stage to the Page: Life Lessons from Four Funny Ladies!” Judy draws from her standup performance and coaching experience to entertain, inform and inspire in her dynamic keynote entitled, ‘Relieving Work Related Stress with Humour’. Judy is the creator/host of ‘Laughlines’ and ‘Stand Up For The Girls’ which have both helped raise over $650,000 for breast cancer research.
