Using Comedy to Cope, Being Human and The Importance of Connection with Alice Fraser

Welcome back to Not Your Basic Influencers Podcast! Elyce and Leah here, two (kinda) basic women and licensed mental health professionals influencing you on the sh*t that really matters.
This podcast is in partnership with DiveThru, a mental wellness company that helps you dive-thru what you go thru.
This week we speak with Alice Fraser about comedy and the importance of humor to cope with pain and suffering. Alice shares how she has used comedy to process her own loss and have something tangible to hold onto and feel less unstable. This conversation touches on the shared human experience and how comedy can be used to reach and connect with others.
Alice Fraser is an award winning writer, performer, comedian and broadcaster. She has a special on Amazon Prime, Savage and has given a TEDx Talk, "What are we doing?," about vanity in the face of death.
