What better way to spark endorphins than by making others laugh? This week is dedicated to discussing the relationship between humor, happiness, and mental health, and I had the honor of bringing Stand-Up Comedian and Actress Ellen Karis, otherwise known as the "Greek Goddess of Comedy," onto the podcast to chat all things comedy. 

Ellen has performed stand-up all over North America and has a new special coming out on "Dry Bar Comedy." She was also in Tina Fey's movie "Sisters" and plays a waitress on "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" for the last 3 season. Make sure to check out her podcast, "Karis Comedy Corner" on iTunes.

In this episode, Ellen talks about how she got into performing comedy after working in the corporate world, the art of humor and happiness, some hot takes on the Chris Rock/Will Smith incident at the Oscars, and how comedians grapple with their mental health.
