🎙️ This week on the podcast, I caught up with award winning broadcaster, author, comedian and podcaster Shanelle Franklin for a really honest, funny and surprisingly relatable chat about modern adulthood… and why so many of us are absolutely exhausted by it 😅

Her brand new book
📚 Because Adulthood Shouldn’t Be This Boring (A Rebellion Against the Fun Police) dives into burnout, joy, stress, curiosity, laughter and why we’ve forgotten how to actually have fun as grown ups.

We talk about:

✨ Why scrolling is not actually rest
😂 How laughter helps us survive hard seasons
🎈 Triggering joy on purpose
🧠 The science behind humour and connection
👧 What adults can learn from kids again
💛 Why joy is not selfish, it’s necessary

Shanelle is warm, hilarious, smart and full of practical ideas you can genuinely use in everyday life.

If adulthood’s been feeling a bit heavy lately, this one might be exactly what you need.
