This week, American Laughing Champion and improv coach, Julie Ostrow, joins Maia for a conversation on humor and bullying. When is "making fun" not "making funny"? Julie, a regular guest on TMJ4 tv's The Morning Blend, explains how self-depricating humor can sometimes mask feelings not so funny at all and how building healthy communication and social interaction in pre-teens can lead to confidence and compassion in adulthood.
