ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Why can’t you relax without feeling guilty? Why does sitting down, doing nothing, or doing something just for fun somehow feel like you should be doing something more productive?
In this episode of Found at 17, we’re talking about why so many of us stopped playing somewhere along the way—and why it may have less to do with getting older and more to do with what we learned growing up.
I share the story of the little girl who could spend hours building an entire Barbie city in her attic, and how that playful, hopelessly romantic part of me slowly became something I learned to put away.
We’ll talk about why rest can feel uncomfortable, why everything we do seems to need a purpose, and why you might automatically tell yourself “no” before anyone else ever gets the chance.
Because maybe you’re not just “a serious person.”
Maybe somewhere along the way, you learned that fun had to be earned.
And maybe the goal isn’t to force yourself to play again. Maybe it starts by noticing all the ways you stopped giving yourself permission.
