Laughter, BOB & the Medicine of Not Taking It All So Seriously

In this episode of Journeys Beyond with Shamarie, we follow the trail from my sister’s “retired BOB” to something much deeper: why women so often have to laugh in the shadows about their own bodies and pleasure. I share the story behind the now infamous BOB blog, and we explore how that slightly naughty, snort-laugh kind of humour is actually powerful nervous system medicine. We talk about what happens when taboo topics finally get named out loud, why shame thrives in silence, and how laughter can gently crack the shell without making light of trauma. You’ll hear how BOB has become an unexpected archetype for midlife women’s sovereignty – not because of the device itself, but because of what happens when a woman says, “My body, my desire and my joy belong to me.” If you’ve ever swallowed a laugh, apologised for being “too much”, or felt your body relax the moment you could finally joke about something painful, this one’s for you.
