Are you packing away your fun along with your flip-flops? Summer is winding down. The days are getting shorter, routines are returning, work is ramping up, and suddenly we're back to schedules, responsibilities, and never-ending to-do lists. But here's my question: Why do we give ourselves permission to really LIVE in the summer, only to go back to managing life in the fall? You know that summer version of yourself? The one who says WHY NOT? more often. Who stays out later, calls friends spontaneously, explores new places, jumps in the water, and fills the calendar with experiences that make life feel exciting? I don't want to pack that woman away with my flip-flops. And I don't want you to either! In this episode of The Finding Fun Experiment, I'm sharing practical ways to keep your summer spirit alive, rediscover what makes you feel vibrant, and intentionally create more fun, laughter, connection, and adventure in your everyday life. Because having fun isn't just for vacations, weekends, or summer holidays. It's an important part of living a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. What summer taught you about your fun: Identify the experiences, feelings, and behaviours that made you feel most alive. How to bring summer spontaneity into fall: Keep saying YES to adventure, curiosity, and those wonderful WHY NOT moments. How to find more fun in everyday life: Simple ways to recreate the joy of summer without needing a vacation. Summer's ending. Your fun isn't! GO PLAY!

🔥 Do You Still Have Fire in Your Belly? The 2-Minute Pulse Check to Find Your Spark Again When was the last time you felt really AMPED UP about something? You couldn't stop thinking about it. You were energized, curious, excited and thinking: “Ohhhhhhh, I LOVE this!” That's what I call Fire in My Belly. But how often are you actually feeling it? Sometimes we don't suddenly lose our spark, passion or vibrancy. We slowly stop noticing what creates it. In this episode of The Finding Fun Experiment, I'm sharing one of the simplest tools I use to figure out what is adding energy to my life—and what is taking it away: 🔥 The Fire in My Belly Pulse Check. It takes just two minutes at the end of your day, but when you do it consistently, you start collecting some pretty valuable data about YOU. Instead of only tracking your steps, sleep, calendar and productivity, you'll start paying attention to something we often overlook: What made me feel alive today? You'll learn how to spot the people, experiences and activities that create energy, curiosity, laughter and that “Ohhhh, I love this!” feeling. Not everything that drains you can—or should—disappear. Laundry still needs doing! But when you start noticing your patterns, you can identify what's repeatedly leaving you depleted, flat or dreading your day. Then you can ask: What do I need LESS of? And perhaps even: What do I need to stop doing altogether? This is where it gets fun. What do you need MORE of? More laughter? More nature? More movement? More people—or more solitude? More creativity? More adventure? More learning? More spontaneity? More FUN? Because what if you aren't simply lacking energy? What if you're spending too much of your energy on things that don't light you up—and not enough on the things that do? If this episode sparked something inside of you, share it with a friend who might need a little spark in their life right now. ***Want more ideas for bringing fun, laughter, joy and vibrancy into your life?
