Mr. Happiness Guy Giard (@Guy_Giard)

Guy Giard Talk Listening to Your Inner Calling, April 15th, Prospero's Books, Tbilisi, Georgia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKgbUv9l7zA ✨ We are blessed to be alive. Life is a gift — yet we forget it in the middle of traffic, money problems, and messy relationships. In this inspiring video, Guy Giard, hospital clown and wellness coach, shares how pain, art, music, and a red clown nose transformed a life marked by shame and suicidal thoughts into a journey of healing, happiness, and service. #LifeIsAGift #Happiness #Healing 🎭 As a hospital clown, Guy visits sick children and orphans to give them back something they have lost in the hospital: power, play, and dignity. In a world where everyone tells them what to do – doctors, nurses, parents – the clown is the only one who asks nothing and lets the child decide the game. #HospitalClown #HumanConnection #Compassion 🌱 From a difficult childhood and buried memories of abuse, to yoga, laughter, Patch Adams, and clown trips to Guatemala, Peru, Russia, India, and Georgia, Guy shows how listening to our inner voice can slowly turn despair into meaning. Emotional healing, he explains, is like a physical wound: it doesn’t need pressure or control, it needs a safe environment and time. #MentalHealthAwareness #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth 🎶 Music and journaling became tools of survival and self-expression. Expression becomes a path through pain rather than an attempt to escape it. #SelfCare #Creativity #Expression 💡 In this talk, you’ll learn: • How music and journaling became tools of survival and self-expression #HealingThroughArt • What it means to find your “calling” beyond money, age, or logic #FindYourPurpose • Why listening – to yourself and to others – is the first medicine #ListeningIsHealing • How the street dogs and crooked trees of Tbilisi revealed a culture of quiet, stubborn love #LifeLessons #Compassion 😂 Laughter opens space. It does not erase suffering, but it softens fear, breaks isolation, and reminds us of our shared humanity. #LaughterIsMedicine #PositiveVibes #Wellness 👂 Listening runs through the entire talk. Presence, availability, and slowing down to meet another human being without fixing, correcting, or rushing is true healing. #Mindset #Connection #Empathy 💬 If this story touches you, share it with someone who feels alone in their struggle.
