04-01-16 The Lost Art Of Thinking Rationally, Juicy Living/Juicy Aging: A Conversation with Loretta Laroche
Quirky, witty, wise, and always entertaining, Loretta Laroche is an acclaimed speaker, author and international stress management consultant. It seems there are lots of those these days – but none with the zany sense of humor that Loretta is so full of. I first met Loretta about 15 years ago – and she was full of it even then. Join us for a lighthearted show as we trip lightly from Charlie Sheen, and the dumbing down of America to The Lost Art Of Thinking Rationally and Juicy Living/Juicy Aging (which is also the title of her recent book).
A humor consultant who has foisted her wit and irreverent humor on grateful audiences for over 30 years, Loretta is an expert at using humor to reframe a stressful situation and reveal a new, healthy perspective on the difficult parts of life. Come with us on this romp, beyond the goat milk/yak egg diet to the seldom visited realm of common sense – and some very important perspectives on life – perspectives that can enable us to think about the world and act in it so as to be happier, more joyful, and live a balanced life. (And you will learn why the Pope had the urinals in the Vatican raised six inches!) This acclaimed speaker, author and international stress management and humor consultant has evoked wit and irreverent humor on her audience for over 30 years.
