#26 - What Does It Mean To Be Childlike?

What happened to the version of you that used to be curious, playful, creative, and fully present?In this episode, we explore the idea of becoming childlike again - not childish, but reconnected to the wonder, imagination, and instinct that came naturally when you were younger. So much of adulthood can feel like performance: responsibilities, pressure, comparison, validation, and the need to always have it together. Over time, that can pull us away from who we really are.This conversation dives into the difference between internal pull and external push, how social pressure and life experiences can suppress our natural creativity, and why so many adults feel disconnected from the things that once made them feel alive.We also unpack:why children experience joy so easilyhow trauma, conflict, and seriousness can shut down imaginationthe difference between being childlike and being childishhow to become a student of life againpractical ways to reconnect with play, curiosity, presence, and creativityThis episode is a reminder that life does not have to be lived so heavily. There is still space for wonder. There is still space for joy. And there is still a part of you that remembers what it felt like to be fully alive.
