Comedy Is Wellness: Laughter, Fitness & Mental Health with Natalie Friedman

Comedian Natalie Friedman joins Don to talk about the connection between physical fitness and the mental strength for her to persevere and push on as a stand up comedian. Natalie shares how pushing herself in the gym helps her handle the demands of stand-up, work, parenting, and everyday life. They also discuss the pressure to optimize everything, the reality of cumulative fatigue, perfectionism, protecting your mental health from social media, and why doing less, but doing it consistently, can sometimes be the better approach. For Natalie, getting stronger isn't just about what happens in the gym. It's about building the discipline, resilience, and perspective to handle whatever life puts in front of you. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: RedWave by Wellsystem: Use STRONGER for a 15% discount when you inquire about RedWave red light therapy.
