Is Fun on Your To-Do List Yet?

In this episode, we’re putting fun right where it belongs: on your actual to-do list, next to the bills and the errands. Because “after” never shows up. Your list is never done, so the fun you’re saving for later keeps getting pushed back.

In this episode:
✔ Why “someday” isn’t a destination
✔ The surprising truth about where retreat breakthroughs really happen.
✔ Why fun feels like cheating, and why joy that only happens by accident isn’t a plan
✔ For retreat leaders: why your guests are waiting for you to go first
✔ Your challenge this week: one fun thing, small, medium, or bucket list, with a real date next to it

Plus, a zip line adventure through the jungles of the Dominican Republic, and a shout-out to friend of the pod Karen Talavera, who puts what makes her feel fully alive at the top of her list.

RETREAT REVIEWS
Bunk One by Camp Social: summer camp nostalgia, elevated. A women’s retreat on a private ranch in the hills of San Diego, with campfires, stargazing, a Galentine’s Glow Party, and a letter to yourself mailed back six months later. Come solo, leave with a whole new circle.
