Summary

when the nonchalance era started a few years ago, being nonchalant was the highest virtue, and with that virtue, came an even higher cost: your happiness. disguised as a compliment, nonchalance became a prison dressed as freedom - a way to stay safe by staying detached, to protect yourself by caring less, and to win by never really playing. in this episode, we talk about how nonchalance is out, and playfulness is in - because life is meant to be lived freely, loudly and on your own terms, and at its core, the meaning of life is play. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://grownkid.typeform.com/to/eZhvsKGH?typeform-source=grownkid.com overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.
