Miriam speaks to Lotte Mikkelsen, Laughter Coach and therapist. Lotte explains how laughter is not just her own therapy but is also her profession and how she helps people find the physical and emotional benefits of laughter practiced in Laughter Yoga sessions. In discussions of mood management and the difficulties in the winter season for some, Miriam and Lotte share some laugher and thoughts about emotional release. It might be hard to believe that even pretend laughter can improve mood, but if you feel better after listening, then do email Women of Steel or leave a review. All the links are below.

Book List chosen by Lotte

Rise and Shine by Kate and Toby Oliver – the book I would have written if they had not done it first

The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell – a great book for opening your mind to what is possible
