Fun is Fundamental
Do you ever wonder when did you get so serious? Do you miss the good old days? Do you lack fun in your life? About half of Americans say they don't have enough fun.
Join me on a mission to prioritize fun in our lives and why the lack of fun is detrimental to our well-being. Weekly I will talk about a fun activity that I did and why it is (or isn't) fun for me and hopefully inspire you to explore more ways to incorporate more fun in your life.
