We talk about being treated like "the funny person", where humor comes from, reading a room, compartmentalizing, using your tools (and finding new ones) to help with depression, how we're not alone during these times, pushing authentic conversations, the positive habits that can grow from this pandemic, small ways we can change the world, and coming out of this physical distancing a better person!About Amy: Amy Sumpter is a comedic Actress who has performed all over Chicago.
