This episode discusses the importance of incorporating fun and playfulness into adult life, highlighting various creative outlets and their benefits.

Has the fun side of life slipped into the past a little more than you'd like? This is a short and sweet episode to remind you of where more fun can possibly come into play if your life. Also, how much it is needed — to greater or lesser degree — as humans and particularly as grown ups making our way in a stressful world. In this episode I speak about: the joy of burlesque; what it does for me and the ladies I teach improvising with things at home and doing what may seem to be 'childlike' writing and poetry how pets can help with playfulness advocating for ourselves and why it matters; both for ourselves and the next generation(s) Themes: burlesque, parenting, poetry, art, dance I mention Brené Brown. At the end, I read a poem written by me. Did you enjoy this episode? If so, I would really appreciate it if you could please leave a review on the platform that you listen.
