Do you remember what it used to feel like to play as a child? Without worrying about what "they" think? Without worrying about whether what you are doing is leading to, or how it's going to help you? Without worrying at all?
What would it be like to give yourself permission to feel that again, now? In this episode, host Laurie Smith talks about how joy connects us to who we really are, and where we're feeling called to go.
Is there something you'd like to try that you've been avoiding? Is there a playful activity that you feel is too "silly"?
What would it be like to commit to something that isn't going to help you reach your goals, but instead, simply helps you feel more like YOU? Even if it's a version of you that you haven't experienced for a long time.
