Finding Your Playful Side: Small Changes, Big Joy

Welcome to Season 4 of the Late Bloomer Living Podcast! 

In this episode, I'm diving headfirst into the fascinating idea of aging playfully. (Maybe it's more of a Cannonball than a Dive. 😉)

You know, that feeling when life gets a bit too serious, and you're craving more joy, spontaneity, and that childlike wonder you had as kid? Let's explore how to incorporate a playful attitude into our lives, breaking free from the daily grind that can sometimes bog us down.

What's been on my mind lately is the idea of not just aging playfully but living playfully.

How can we infuse our daily routines with a dash of playfulness? It's about making time for fun and stepping away from our screens and to-do lists for a while. For me, that's meant rediscovering the joy of roller skating, and let me tell you, it's been an absolute blast.

Embracing playfulness as we age is all about mindset. It starts with catching yourself being ageist against yourself. Those negative thoughts about your body, your looks, your bad habits, your abilities - they need to go. It's all about being kind to yourself and making small changes to invite more joy into your life.

This season, I'm making a few experimental changes to the podcast. You'll still find inspiring stories of people who have reinvented themselves in midlife, but I'm also adding episodes that focus on topics like health and wellness. I've got some amazing expert guests lined up to help us become our healthiest, best selves in midlife.

I'm beyond excited about where this season is heading!  Buckle up!
