Laugh Lines & Life Lessons - Invidious

Laugh Lines & Life Lessons

Helping you survive midlife chaos — burnout, identity loss, and starting over — so you feel less alone and ready to do the hard thing anyway.

This channel is about saying the quiet parts out loud.

Career detours, burnout, aging, mental health, money, starting over — it’s all here. You’ll get honesty with humor, side-eye, and a few stories that make you mutter, "oh my God, same!".

I’ve spent 50+ years surviving things I never signed up for — a traumatic childhood, mental health struggles, and a shiny, toxic corporate career that nearly broke me. Thirty years in tech taught me how power, performance, and reinvention actually work. Real life taught me what it costs to stop performing.

Now I talk about that cost — and what becomes possible when you finally tell the truth instead.
