Yvonne shares her journey from being a "good girl" focused on goals and responsibilities to rediscovering the joy of play through activities like roller skating and dancing. They discuss the societal pressures that often push us to abandon playfulness in favor of adult responsibilities and how midlife is a perfect time to reclaim that playful spirit.   Yvonne emphasizes that play doesn't have to be extravagant or wild; it can be as simple as enjoying a cup of coffee at a bookstore or taking a relaxing bath. The key is to find what makes you feel good and incorporate it into your daily routine. Wendy and Yvonne also touch on the transformative power of small changes and the importance of being aware of our thoughts and how they shape our actions.   Get ready for an episode filled with laughter, wisdom, and practical tips to help you inject more joy and play into your everyday routine.
