Permission to Play: Reclaiming F-U-N in Midlife

from DOUBLE TAKE: Navigating Life's Second Act · host Tanya Powell and Tami Brittenham

In this episode, the twins get candid about reclaiming fun in midlife. They explore how our relationship with "fun" transforms through different life stages—from carefree youth to the demands of parenthood to this current chapter where we have some more freedom but struggle to use it. They distinguish between numbing out and true embodied enjoyment, challenging both real and self-imposed barriers to embracing playfulness. Through personal stories, they examine how our nervous systems either welcome or reject the very idea of fun. The twins offer practical ways to reconnect with this vital, often dormant part of ourselves through simple, accessible experiences that bring joy to everyday moments.
