The Power of Laughter & Joy in Difficult Times | Jamie Denbo on Finding Humor in Life

from The JOY of LIVING · host Barry Shore

In this inspiring episode of the Joy of Living Podcast, Barry Shore, the Ambassador of Joy, welcomes comedian, actress, writer, producer, and podcaster Jamie Denbo, best known through her hilarious alter ego Beverly Ginsberg. Barry and Jamie explore the powerful role of laughter, humor, and joy during challenging and uncertain times. Jamie shares how her Beverly character—a kooky, modern 75-year-old woman starting over in California—uses comedy to explore wellness, aging, family, and the absurdities of everyday life. The conversation also dives into the importance of perspective, allowing your inner child to emerge, finding joy even during turmoil, and not taking life too seriously. Jamie discusses her Beverly Podcast, her approach to parodying the wellness world, and why humor can bring people back to their humanity. Barry also shares powerful lessons about “SMILE,” gratitude, choice, purpose, and making a difference, reminding listeners that laughter and a positive perspective can help us create a more joyful life.
