About this listen

If you listened to Part 1, you already know why fun matters in midlife. Today, we’re shifting into the how.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Fun Expert Treena Innes, we get practical about bringing joy back into your everyday routine. From identifying your personal “fun type” to building simple habits, finding fun buddies, and experimenting with new rhythms, this episode will help you take small, meaningful steps toward a life that feels lighter and more alive.

You don’t need more time, money, or energy—just a few doable shifts. Let Treena show you how.

  • How to identify your unique fun style
  • Simple “fun experiments” to try this week
  • Why leaving your environment can instantly improve your mood
  • How a fun list makes joy easier to access
  • Letting go of outdated responsibilities
  • Why you need a “fun buddy” in this season
  • The power of saying “Why not?” instead of “Why?”
  • Daily reflection practices that help you notice what lights you up

Key Takeaways:

  • Fun doesn’t require a big plan—just intentional small moments.
  • A fun list keeps ideas visible so you stop defaulting to chores.
  • Building a fun tribe helps you stay accountable and energized.
  • Saying “why not?” opens doors to whimsy and spontaneity.
  • You can create a fun-filled year with simple habits and tiny shifts.
