The Judy Croon Show - Laugh Long and Pro$per

I’ve been lucky enough to visit Hawaii a number of times, and every trip reminds me how powerful the spirit of Aloha can be. So imagine my surprise when The Pitt introduced me to Ho’oponopono—an ancient Hawaiian practice that Joe Vitale talks about in his book Zero Limits. In this video, I count down my top 5 reasons why you should try this simple practice to clean up mental clutter and bring some serious peace of mind into your life. Mahalo for watching, and as always—Laugh Long and Prosper!

I don’t usually do Top 5 lists for fiction books, but The Women by Kristin Hannah was so gripping, I just had to share my thoughts! From its raw portrayal of Vietnam to the unforgettable female friendships, here’s why I devoured this book in three days. Spoiler-free—just honest insights and a deep dive into what makes this book a must-read.
In this review, I’ll share:✅ The immersive atmosphere that drops you into the chaos of war✅ The portrayal of brave women whose stories deserve to be heard✅ How this book gave me a fresh perspective on Vietnam✅ Why Kristin Hannah’s storytelling is so magnetic (and coming soon to the screen!)✅ And of course, why I’m giving it a solid 10/10!
Have you read The Women? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

🎧 Just Another Mindful Monday Countdown: Top 5 Buddha-Backed Tips to Stop Worrying (2500 years of calm — now in a convenient top 5 format!)
✋ #5 — Declutter Your Outer World In my experience, worrying thrives in chaos — like a raccoon in a messy garage. Buddha believed the external reflects the internal. So when I clean off my desk (or finally fold that laundry), my mind stops spinning like a hamster in a blender.
💭 #4 — Watch Your Thoughts, Don’t Marry Them Thoughts are like guests. Some bring wine. Some bring drama. I’ve learned (thanks to the Buddha) that I don’t have to RSVP yes to every panicky thought. I just nod politely and say, “Thanks for your concern, brain. Now please leave.”
🧘 #3 — Breathe Like You Mean It A single slow breath can cancel a full-blown worry spiral. I inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6 — and boom, I’ve gone from “What if everything goes wrong?” to “Maybe I just need a sandwich and a nap.”
📿 #2 — Let Go of the Outcome This one's tough. I love control. But worry is just control in a panic hat. When I catch myself obsessing, I remember: “Do the work. Let go of the fruits.” (That’s Buddha, not a diet plan.) It’s freeing. And fewer stomach ulcers.
🌟 #1 — Stay Here. Not There. The biggest game-changer for me? The present moment. Worry lives in the future. Peace lives in the now. When I gently tug my attention back to what’s actually happening — not the 27 disasters I’ve invented — I feel lighter, calmer, and weirdly… taller?

🎧 Just Another Mindful Monday Presents: Top 5 Buddha-Backed Tips for a Calmer, Sharper You (Science-backed. Soul-approved.)
 
✋ #5 — Declutter One Thing Today Your mess is messing with you—clutter spikes cortisol by 15%.
🧹 Tip: Clear one thing—your desk, purse, inbox, or even your desktop background. It’s not about becoming a minimalist. It’s about creating space for peace.
☀️ #4 — Eat Like a Monk, Not a Muppet Mindful eating boosts nutrient absorption by 30% and cuts bingeing by 75%.
🍽️ Tip: Before you eat, pause and ask: “Am I truly hungry or just bored/stressed?” Then chew slowly. Your body’s whispering answers—listen between bites.
🌬️ #3 — Breathe In, Step Out, Chill Hard Every slow breath is a rep for your nervous system. Add nature, and it's a double win.
🌿 Green space lowers cortisol by 21%, and people who live near it are 30% less likely to experience depression. No forest? No problem. A park, balcony garden, or tree-lined street still counts.
🧘 Tip: Step outside, take one mindful breath, and let the natural world work its magic.
🌻 #2 — Flex Your Gratitude Muscle Gratitude isn’t fluff—it rewires your brain. Optimists live up to 15 years longer.
🧠 Tip: Each morning, name one thing you're grateful for (yes, your coffee counts). Consistency turns gratitude into a mindset, not a moment.
🧘 #1 — Stillness is Your Superpower Just 10 minutes of daily meditation can shrink your amygdala (stress center) and grow your prefrontal cortex (focus + emotional control).
📣 Tip: Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. This activates your vagus nerve—calming your system like a built-in spa.
🧘‍♀️ Final Thought You don’t need a robe or a mountain to be mindful. One breath. One bite. One decluttered drawer. That’s the practice.
As the Buddha said: “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” J

Welcome to Laugh Long and Prosper, where the laughs are long and the opinions are... surprisingly well-researched (after wine).
In this episode, I sit down with my two great comedic friends —Anna Gustafson and Lisa Gay Tremblay —for a no-holds-barred chat about politics, puppy sitting and the power of a good Pinot. From tarriffs to tail wags, no topic is safe.
⚠️ Caution: Contains howling (from laughter and dogs),wine fuelled wisdom, and some hot takes that might just start a revolution. Or a wine club.
🎙️ Subscribe for weekly episodes full of comedy, real talk, and the occasional psychic prediction.

She also has a supporting role in the startup initiative Gathering for Goodness, and she produces the live, pro, stand-up comedy show "The BETTY" which creates space for sometimes underrepresented pockets of the comedy community.
