Laugh Lines & Life Lessons - Invidious

Laugh Lines & Life Lessons

This channel is about saying the quiet parts out loud.

Career detours, burnout, aging, mental health, 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 learning how to survive things I never signed up for — from a traumatic childhood, living with mental health issues, to a shiny, toxic corporate career that nearly broke me. Thirty years in tech taught me how to navigate politics and reinvention. Real life taught me how to heal.

Now I talk about what it costs to finally stop performing and start living.

I share deeper essays, private notes, and behind-the-scenes honesty on Substack — come hang out there too: laughlinesandlifelessons.substack.com/

For questions about collaborations, 1:1's, workshops, or business inquiries: Sheila@SheilaHammond.com

I can’t answer personal emails, but I do hang out in the comments — that’s where the real conversations happen.
