When did life become so serious?
I've been thinking about how easy it is to become so focused on our responsibilities, our goals and everything that needs our attention that we forget to make room for the experiences that make us feel alive.
And I'm not talking about pretending life is wonderful when it's hard.
I'm talking about those moments when we laugh until our stomachs hurt. When curiosity takes us somewhere unexpected. When we try something new, get a little silly, change our minds, or allow ourselves to enjoy something without needing a reason.
Joy doesn't require a perfect life.
Sometimes it emerges in the middle of uncertainty, transition and the messy business of being human.
And sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to experience it.
What might become possible if we made a little more room for play, curiosity and wonder?
This is part of what I'll be exploring in my upcoming session, **Joy Wasn't Lost: Reconnecting With the Part of You That Knows How to Feel Alive**, at *From Lost to Legendary: Chapter 2*.
It's a free, three-day virtual gathering exploring authenticity, playfulness, wonder and the choices that help us create lives that feel more genuinely ours.
**October 20–22, 2026 | 11 AM–3 PM Eastern**
My session is Wednesday, October 21, at 1:30 PM Eastern.
I'd love for you to join us.
