The Mental Funny Bone
Welcome to "The Mental Funny Bone", hosted by hilarious siblings Chris and Sarah.
Our mission is to create a safe and entertaining space where listeners can explore mental health topics, find solace, and enjoy laughter. The podcast aims to destigmatize mental health discussions and empower individuals to approach their own well-being with humor and openness.
The Mental Funny Bone is not your typical comedy podcast. It's packed with hilarious tales from the 80s and 90s, courtesy of two irreverent sisters, who dive deep into the wild world of mental health, sharing personal stories, insightful discussions, and of course, plenty of laughs along the way. These sisters aren't afraid to peel back the layers and share their struggles, triumphs, and everything in between.
From anxiety to depression, therapy sessions to sibling rivalry, no topic is off-limits for this dynamic duo. Chris and Sarah offer a fresh perspective on the challenges we all face when it comes to our mental well-being.
Through their witty banter and candid conversations, they shed light on the complexities of mental health, proving that even in the darkest moment, sometimes the best therapy is just sharing a laugh with the ones you love. So buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of comedy, chaos, and courageous conversations about what it means to be human.

Episode 71: Meditation with a Side of Rage
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we dig into Chapter 4 and the idea that meditation isn’t soft—it’s a hard skill. The kind that helps you take the pause, challenge the brain voice, and pivot instead of spiral.
We talk about why mindfulness works (even in high-stress environments like the military), how meditation gives you an edge without turning you into a hippie guru, and what it actually looks like in real life — including asking for help at work, redirecting tense conversations, and apologizing after rage-throwing a vacuum attachment.
We also unpack comparison traps, the myth of “doing it right,” and why success rarely follows a clean, predictable path.
And somewhere in there, Snoop Dogg becomes our spiritual guide.
Be kind to your brain. Challenge the liar voice. Gentle pivot when you can. And if all else fails… channel Snoop.
Namaste.
