If you've crossed fun off your list because divorce is "serious business," if you feel selfish for wanting to laugh when your life is falling apart, or if you've forgotten what actually brings you joy—this episode will give you the permission slip you've been waiting for.

Here's the controversial truth: Fun isn't frivolous during hard times—it's fuel. It's medicine. It's one of your most powerful healing tools.

In this episode, Julie reveals why we murder our fun during crisis, how guilt and society convince us that suffering equals healing, and why your body is literally dying for you to play.

You'll discover:

• The physical benefits of fun (it's actual medicine—endorphins, immune boosts, pain relief!)
• A powerful grounding exercise to invite joy back into your body
• Your complete "Fun Menu"—from 5-minute micro-fun to full-day macro-adventures
• How to overcome guilt and give yourself permission to enjoy your life
• Why "I don't know what's fun anymore" is actually your roadmap back to yourself

The game-changer: Your laughter is an act of rebellion against everything that tried to break you. Joy isn't something you earn after you heal—it's how you heal.

Includes a live grounding exercise to help you remember what fun feels like in your body and your personalized fun challenge to start immediately.

Ready to stop apologizing for having fun? Your joy is waiting.
