Monday, February 5, 2024 - 14 minutes

Ever mixed up your lip gloss with your concealer? I, Lisa Barry, certainly have, and it's just one of the many delightful missteps I'll be sharing to show you how life's little blunders can actually be blessings in disguise. We'll chuckle over my cosmetic calamity before easing into the heartwarming tale of my friend Julia's encounter at a drive-thru, where her kindness converted confrontation into camaraderie. You'll also get to hear about the remarkable J.J. McCarthy, who turned a child's innocent suggestion into a pre-game tradition that's sure to put a smile on your face, and we'll ponder the enchanting possibilities that a preschool's recipe assignment reveals about the importance of chasing big dreams. Now imagine finding the silver lining in every cloud that darkens your day-to-day life. That's exactly what we'll explore in the second half of our conversation, where I recount my own experiences in turning daily nuisances into unexpected joys. We'll discuss the art of perspective-flipping, turning irritations into opportunities for growth. For anyone with a fear of flying, I've got a comforting statistic that might just ease your nerves. Plus, we'll dive into the surprising smarts of our underwater friends—octopuses, to be precise—and their clever antics. And for a dash of mystery, we'll introduce you to Timothy, a young caller whose unfinished story will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat, hungry for more. So, join us for a session filled with humor, empathy, and a sprinkle of sage advice for the days ahead.
