Episode 115: How to Reduce Stress & Have More Fun as an Adult (Without Guilt!)
March 27, 2025 · 20 min

When was the last time you had real fun—without thinking about work, responsibilities, or productivity? As adults, we often put fun on the back burner, convincing ourselves that we’ll have time "later." But here’s the truth: Fun isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to reduce stress, bring more fun into your life, and shift your mindset so that joy isn’t just an afterthought. You’ll also learn what other cultures get right about fun and why Americans are among the most stressed-out people in the world.

👉 In this episode, I’ll cover:

✔️ The hidden stressors in your life—and how to remove them

✔️ Why some cultures naturally enjoy life more (and what we can learn from them)

✔️ Simple ways to schedule fun, embrace spontaneity, and stop feeling guilty for enjoying life
