Al Lubel: Fear, Comedy, and a Mother's Influence

I have struggled with insomnia in the past and I've tried cbd with other companies and it was very kind of hit and miss as to when it would work. I told them about my insomnia and they suggested I try their nighttime gummies and man have they worked like a charm.
What happens when your biggest cheerleader is also your biggest obstacle? In this engaging episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', comedian Al Lubel sits down with host Paul Gilmartin to unpack the complexities of his upbringing. Raised by an overly anxious mother, Al's journey is marked by fear, a struggle for independence, and bouts of narcissism.
His story is a compelling mix of humor and heartache, as he shares how these challenges have shaped both his personal life and his career in comedy. Al talks candidly about his battles with insomnia and how he found some relief through EarlyBird CBD. He also touches on the delicate balance between processing past traumas and not getting stuck in them. Vulnerability, he believes, is a key ingredient in his stand-up routine, offering both catharsis and connection with his audience.
This episode isn't just about laughs; it's about understanding the deep-seated issues that can drive us and how we cope with them. Al’s insights on finding the right therapist and adopting a warrior mentality provide practical takeaways for anyone grappling with similar struggles.
