Hey there, and welcome to wake me up,

the podcast where morning people are made.

As usual, I'm Tyler, your host,

and I'm so excited to have you here today

because this episode is all about having fun.

As Kagan, about having fun. As kids we were so quick to do things on a whim, not worrying about whether anyone will care or whether it's a productive use of our time.

We played for the pure joy of it.

Being an adult comes with responsibilities.

It's true. But that doesn't mean fun and play are off limits. In fact, there's a ton of science that shows play is wildly helpful for adults.

It reduces stress, opens our creative minds to new

possibilities, gives us more energy, and makes us more confident.

So today, we're going to do things a little bit differently, and we'll just focus on having fun.

To start, let's all take a big breath in.

Fill all the way into your belly, and exhale.

Let's do that one more time.

Inhale, fill all the way up, and release.

And why not think back on your childhood for a second to a time when you remember playing,

having a blast.
