Now with an exclusive bonus chapter only available on audiobook!

The world knows Candace Payne as "Chewbacca Mom", whose Facebook video captured the hearts of millions with nothing but a toy Chewbacca mask and infectious laughter. But what the video doesn't show is Candace's storied journey of overcoming daunting obstacles on the way to a joy-filled life.

Laugh It Up! tells the rest of the story behind the woman in the mask. Like many, Candace Payne has often felt overlooked, undervalued, and insignificant. But she has also discovered the secrets to unshakable joy that no circumstance - be it extreme poverty, past trauma, or struggles with self-worth--can take away, and Laugh It Up! will help you discover and experience the same.

Join Candace to discover the gift God has given us all - to experience life to the fullest. All you need to do is answer "yes" when joy calls you to come and play.

• Do you feel tempted to give up on your dreams? Joy stays the course.
• Do your knees knock when thinking about the future? Joy hopes for what can be.
• Do you feel unseen and unnoticed? Joy is content whether backstage or center stage.
• Do you feel crushed under the weight of regret? Joy loves you enough to weep with you, but also help you move on.

When life punches you in the gut, it can be difficult to muster a smile - much less a laugh. But with humor and power, wit and wisdom, Candace lights the way forward to a life that is free indeed.

From the Heart

I really enjoyed this book in audio. Her story is down to earth and even gave me some insights I could apply to my kids. I highly recommend the book!

Great listen

I laughed and cried! Such a great listen and inspiring story! It is very relatable and I highly recommend!

Wonderful

This book is amazing. Candace shares her life story and her journey to find Defiant Joy. As I listened to this while doing my house hold duties I found myself having to hit pause several times to write down what she had just said bc it was that good and I wanted to remember it. I am going to listen to it again but this time while I sit with pen and paper.

I’m inspired by this woman

Looks like Sadness but with the voice of Joy — Candace Payne has clearly had her struggles in life but they have not stolen her joy. I enjoyed this book more than I expected to. I hope everyone can read this book to find and embrace the joy inside themselves to live in true spiritual freedom.

Outstanding, fresh perspective.

Be a joy seeker! I needed a new lenses to look through and did not even realize since I am typically a happy person anyway. Candice’s perspective provided this change of thought for me. She stirred something in me to freshen my focus. Relatable and real, loved it!
