Do you ever feel like your life has taken on a bit too much seriousness?

Today we invite you to take inventory of your life and see if joy and recreation are in their proper place when it comes to your priorities and that you are living the life that you want to right now.

We consider how it's so easy, even with good intentions, to accidentally lose sight of joy when we're committed to productivity.

We'll also discuss the importance of engaging in activities that bring us joy, even amidst limitations and constraints.

Perhaps you know down deep that you want to prioritize moments of happiness and fun, but somehow it continually slips through the cracks.

I'm so happy to have Jody Hironaka-Juteau, Professor of Recreation Administration, back on the podcast! She shares both her professional expertise as well as her human experience.

We hope you have a joy-filled week!
