Have you ever felt too busy or overwhelmed to make room for fun in your life? In this episode of Happily Self-Conscious, Tyler Simone sits down with Dr. Mike Rucker, author of The Fun Habit, to discuss how intentionally incorporating fun into your life can transform your well-being, productivity, and happiness.

We explore the difference between happiness and fun, why so many of us are “fun-starved,” and how society’s obsession with sacrifice has made joy an afterthought. Dr. Rucker shares actionable insights, like the power of “microjoys,” scheduling fun on your calendar, and shifting your mindset from “I have to” to “I want to.”

Whether you’re navigating toxic positivity, balancing work and play, or simply looking for ways to recharge, this episode offers practical strategies to design a life that’s not just productive—but enjoyable. If you’re ready to rediscover fun as the ultimate wellness hack, tune in now!
