What if the thing we’ve been taught to grow out of… is actually the thing we need most?

In this episode of This Juicy Life, we’re joined by Evan Cudworth, aka the world’s first party coach, to explore a bold idea:

That partying—real, intentional, human connection—might be the missing piece in modern life.

Because somewhere along the way, we traded play for productivity, connection for convenience, and aliveness for optimization.

This conversation dives into what it actually means to feel alive again, and why joy, play, and gathering might be more essential than anything we’ve been taught in personal development.

We talk about:

• Why so many adults don’t know how to have fun anymore
• The difference between partying vs. numbing out
• How modern life has made us more disconnected and socially anxious
• Why the self-improvement space can sometimes make things worse
• The concept of “The Party Within” and reconnecting to your natural energy
• How to build real connection without relying on alcohol or substances
• The Rule of Thirds: why some social experiences have to be bad
• Why friction creates meaning (and why we avoid it)
• How to create your own version of fun, connection, and community
• Why asking “what do you do for fun?” feels surprisingly hard
• The role of play, ceremony, and shared experiences in living a full life
