Summary

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to have more fun and why fun is so important. Let’s be honest: being an adult is hard. There’s so much to navigate, so much to balance, so much to figure out. We’re figuring out work, and bills, and health insurance, and our living situations. For so many of us, we wake up FAR earlier than we want to, work all day at school or at our offices, eat lunch at our desk, and then come home at the end of the day feeling totally and thoroughly spent. The things we’re doing are good, and important, and necessary. But as we’re making time for all these important things, we also need to make sure we’re having some fun. Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Annie F. Downs. Annie is an amazing Author, Podcaster, and Speaker. She has a new devotional book called, Chase the Fun: 100 days to discover fun right where you are. And that’s exactly what we’re talking about in today’s episode! We’re talking about: Why having fun matters (it actually matters — for our brains, and our bodies, and Annie and I both agree that fun is an important spiritual practice!) How to figure out what sounds fun to us and how to actually do those things Practical ways to make more time for fun (even with super busy schedules!) How to embrace the things we find to be fun (even if those things aren’t necessarily cool) How to start a new hobby And so much more! Friends, if you’ve been itching to add more fun and joy into your life, but don’t know where to start, this episode is for you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
