Remember when life built in the fun for you… pep rallies, spring breaks, and endless hangouts? Then adulthood hit, and suddenly “recess” got replaced with responsibilities. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to bring the fun back with intention, balance, and purpose.
We discuss how to intentionally create joy in your week, take smart breaks that actually recharge you, build real community in a world that feels more disconnected than ever, and find a purpose that makes the grind worth it. Burnout isn’t a badge of honor! It’s a signal to pause, reset, and refocus.
Fun is fuel, not a reward. Let’s make adulthood feel alive again!
