Tonight’s Funny workshop was pure magic. The laughter, the honesty, and the moments of awakening to the pursuit of pleasure to activate joy reminded us why this pillar is so essential. Thank you to everyone who showed up with your humor, your stories, and your light. Share the light that stayed with you—whether it was a breakthrough about joy, an insight on flow, or simply a moment that made you smile. Your reflection could be the medicine another member needs today. 🌟 🗓️ And remember: these workshops are not about perfection or completion—they’re about connection. You don’t need to have every worksheet done to join. Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and your willingness to play. Check the Calendar tab for the next gathering (September 10th at 6PM). Until then—drop your takeaways below and keep spreading the joy with your Smart Funny Tortured family. 💫

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I decided to pull just from the FUNNY pile to give you something to reflect on and share with the group. I specifically chose funny again for the weekend in order for us all to think about what is our joy, what puts us in flow state and what gives us or how do we give pleasure. Please share in the comments so we can all bask in each other’s FUNNY.
