How Play Is Helping Me Feel Alive Again
Do you ever feel like all the fun got squeezed out of adulthood? Like the to-do lists and responsibilities have taken over and there’s no energy left for joy?
In this short solo episode, I’m sharing my Midlife Joy Experiment — my personal journey of bringing more play back into my life in my fifties. From learning to dance on roller skates (yes, I broke my elbow and yes, I’ll be back on them!) to discovering new ways to feel free and creative while I heal, this exploration has been surprising, healing, and downright fun.
I’m not a play expert — this is a real-life experiment in what helps us feel alive again. And I hope it inspires you to reconnect with your own joy, curiosity, and sense of playfulness… even in small ways.
