Laugh Lines & Life Lessons - Invidious

Laugh Lines & Life Lessons

Helping you make sense of your life when the rules you’ve always followed suddenly betray you. Honest, dark-humored commentary on midlife, reinvention, mental health, and money.

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.
