Unleash Your Creativity: Get Inside the Mind of Comedy Writer, Mike Vardal

Enough-ism

During the pandemic, Mike Vardal, who works in computers and lives in Connecticut with his wife and four kids, was feeling pent up creatively. Mike was in need of some laughter. So, in April of 2020, he created the comedy show Vardalia Onions and a series called "Dogs of Town Hall" on YouTube. Here, he writes and films video skits with his family. From singing Cyndi Lauper parodies ("Dads Just Want to Have Fun") to Katy Perry remakes and Ozzie Osbourne mashups, Mike's channel has helped him and his family thrive. Mike’s here to talk about how creativity (and wigs and puppets and talking stuffed animals) curbs anxiety for him and his family and how to tap into your unbridled childlike sense of joy. | ABOUT THE SHOW: This minimalist wants more. Enough-ism is about having enough, already. The world is experiencing an awakening. This podcast about mindfulness, meditation, and minimalism is your modern toolkit to keep your spirit right and your soul bright. One candle can light a fire. | ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Reverend Yugen Bond is an author and reiki master with a master’s in metaphysical sciences. She once despised meditation, had both too much and nothing to wear, and didn't know how to slow down her thoughts. What a journey it's been. Time to share it with the world, especially with you. | CONTACT INFO: Can’t get enough of Enough-ism?
