Here’s what to expect from this episode:
If someone asked you what you do for fun, would you have an answer? If you’re anything like most of my clients — and let’s be honest, most heart-led women — you might find yourself staring blankly or saying something vague. It’s easy to lose touch with joy when we’re managing responsibilities, emotional weight, or simply surviving in a very serious world.
But here’s what I want you to know: fun isn’t frivolous. It’s essential. It’s healing. And it’s always available to you — even if it feels far away right now.
In this gentle, playful episode, I share six intuitive, spiritually grounded ways to reconnect with your sense of fun. We go beyond the surface tips and into the energy behind joy — why it matters, how it shifts your frequency, and how to invite it in even when the world feels heavy. From personal stories about comedy shows and childhood laughter, to practical exercises like creating a “fun jar” or being silly on purpose (yes, really!), I’ll help you make space for joy again.
And we wrap with a guided practice to energetically reconnect with the frequency of fun inside your body — a powerful reminder that fun isn’t something you chase. It’s something you allow. And it’s already within you.
