Laughter is a Tool of Healing | Jane Marla Robbins | Hilary Burns | S4EP8

Myasthenia Gravis is a pretty serious disease.  Jane Marla Robbins should know.  She was diagnosed with it in 2021.  Her doctors didn't really know how to treat her.  She had blurry vision, couldn't chew, and other nasty symptoms.  

What would you do if you were diagnosed with this "Snowflake" disease?  (That means no two cases are alike).  Would you write a funny musical about your time in the hospital?  Of course.  And that's just what Jane did.  It's her 6th book.  Jane has had an amazing career acting, dancing, performing her own one woman shows, and making people laugh. 

We discuss how the isolation of COVID suppressed her immune system and how laughter helped her heal.  What a wonderful conversation.  Thank you, Jane for your amazing spirit and laughter.
