The Mental Funny Bone

Welcome to "The Mental Funny Bone", hosted by hilarious siblings Chris and Sarah.

Our mission is to create a safe and entertaining space where listeners can explore mental health topics, find solace, and enjoy laughter. The podcast aims to destigmatize mental health discussions and empower individuals to approach their own well-being with humor and openness.

The Mental Funny Bone is not your typical comedy podcast. It's packed with hilarious tales from the 80s and 90s, courtesy of two irreverent sisters, who dive deep into the wild world of mental health, sharing personal stories, insightful discussions, and of course, plenty of laughs along the way. These sisters aren't afraid to peel back the layers and share their struggles, triumphs, and everything in between.

From anxiety to depression, therapy sessions to sibling rivalry, no topic is off-limits for this dynamic duo. Chris and Sarah offer a fresh perspective on the challenges we all face when it comes to our mental well-being.

Through their witty banter and candid conversations, they shed light on the complexities of mental health, proving that even in the darkest moment, sometimes the best therapy is just sharing a laugh with the ones you love. So buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of comedy, chaos, and courageous conversations about what it means to be human.

Disclaimer: While Chris and Sarah are not licensed mental health professionals, they offer their perspectives based on personal experiences and encourage listeners to seek professional help when needed.

Christine Kanalis

Christine is the "Original" Gaster Girl. When she's not talking to her sister on the phone about the ups and downs of everyday life, she works in clinical research. She lives in Fredericktown, PA with her husband, David, while frequently visiting the Raleigh area where her daughter, Liv, is attending college.

Known affectionately as the nerdy sister, Christine enjoys books of all kinds and thanks to the blessing of ADD, she often reads multiple books at a time (most of them dealing with fairies or murder or fairies and murder.)

Sarah Leibhart

Meet the second half of the Gaster Girls—number two in the lineup, but always number one in your heart! While she lives for a good laugh, she’s also working on accepting that it’s okay not to be okay all the time.

By day, she’s an ERP Support Analyst for a company that manufactures pressure treated wood. Home is Coraopolis, PA, just outside of Pittsburgh, where she lives with her husband, Noah, and their teenage son, Owen.

Known as the wilder sister, she’s got a nerdy streak—particularly when it comes to spreadsheets (seriously, she loves them). Thanks to her big sister, she’s fallen for reading and enjoys all kinds of nonsense fiction. And of course, she’s always down for a true crime documentary or podcast!
