In this episode of As I, A Peer, I sit down with Lora Pesant, a laughter yoga facilitator, wellness educator, and someone who has spent years learning how safety, joy, and the nervous system actually work in real life.

We explore how anxiety can quietly take shape through instability, why fighting our nervous system often makes things worse, and how intentional laughter can become a surprisingly grounding, science-backed practice for healing and connection.

If you’ve ever wondered why anxiety doesn’t always “go away,” how joy can be practiced instead of earned, or what it looks like to support mental health without labels or judgment check it out.
