Have you ever felt like success comes at the expense of joy?

It’s a story we hear all the time: the grind, the hustle, the never-ending to-do list. But what if you stopped to ask yourself a different question—“Where’s the fun in all of this?”

In this episode of WTF: Where’s the Fun, we’re flipping the script on how we approach success and breaking down why life and business are SO much better when you follow the FUN. We’re sharing how prioritizing joy isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about unlocking creativity, connection, and joy in every area of your life.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re diving into:

• How fun raises your energy and opens the door to endless opportunities.
• Why your version of fun is unique—and how to discover what truly lights you up.
• Simple strategies for making joy part of your everyday life (without adding more to your plate).
• How embracing fun fuels creativity, connection, and long-term success.

This episode isn’t about more “shoulds”—it’s about finding what makes YOU feel alive and bringing more of it into your day-to-day.

This isn’t about working harder, shoulds or adding more to your plate—it’s about embracing a new approach to life and business that leaves you feeling lighter, brighter, and more YOU.

If you’re ready to follow the FUN and see what’s possible, this conversation is for you.
