I woke up one day and realized that I was too busy to enjoy life. Have you ever been there?
I get real in this episode and reflect on a common problem that we typically see as a “good problem to have” in America–busy-ness. We seek out this lifestyle because we stand to gain from it, but if we’re honest with ourselves we know that we also have to give up some pretty important things in the process.
Today, we take a moment to pause and think about how the curse of busy-ness keeps us from activating the more playful side of ourselves. We explore what playfulness is, redefine it for busy adults, and cover the benefits we stand to gain from being letting loose more often.
I bring on a past guest, Robin Dreeke, to find out how he deals with the increasing pace of change in his life and how he is choosing to lead with levity.
