Episode 3: Lora Pesant - Anxiety, Laughter and Joy

In this episode of As I, A Peer, Jeff Turner sits down with Lora Pesant, a laughter yoga facilitator, wellness educator, and longtime advocate for proactive mental health care.

Laura shares her lived experience growing up around addiction, navigating anxiety, and witnessing a parent’s late-in-life bipolar diagnosis and how those experiences shaped her relationship with safety, identity, and joy.

Lora also breaks down what laughter yoga actually is (and what it isn’t), how it works in group settings, and why it’s being used in wellness spaces, conferences, and high-stress workplaces around the world.
