Somewhere between deadlines, caregiving, and doing all the things… fun got lost. 

Not just the big, event-style fun — but the kind that makes you forget what time it is, that makes you laugh or relax without needing a reason, that reminds you who you are under all the responsibility.

In this episode, I explore the real reasons fun feels so out of reach for so many women — and why adding more of it back into our lives is less about being silly, and more about reconnecting with presence, lightness, and joy.

You’ll hear from women who tried a weeklong “fun experiment,” what worked (and what didn’t), and what we discovered about joy that surprised us all.

Plus, I’ll walk you through a simple thought process for bringing more lightness into your day — no vacation required.

🎧 What we cover:

Why fun feels harder the more “grown up” you get

The hidden cost of only being productive

How to find joy again in small, unplanned moments

The 5 types of daily fun (yes, even for the serious ones)

What “fun” actually means when you’re juggling everything

Whether you’re craving more laughter, more lightness, or just a way to feel like you again — this one’s for you.
