320 | we've lost the plot: why we need to start having more fun

Stuck in the same routines and wondering why you feel so underwhelmed & uninspired? I've been there — same city, same coffee shop, same hiking trail, same CFA order, same days on repeat — until a move to Idaho turned life into this blank canvas / playground. In this episode, I'm sharing why fun isn't extra, it's essential to your mental health and nervous system, and how trying new things (even the ones that scare you a little) can pull you out of anxious autopilot and back into feeling like yourself. If you're an overthinker who's ready to get out there, this is your sign to say yes to something new.
