And then explore how we can escape the productivity trap!

Tune in to:

-Explore how play can support your productivity rather than work against it

- Get play ideas to help boost your productivity - including a few exercises to help stave off procrastination

In this episode of Almost Grown Up, we’re talking about the quiet magic of hobbies - not for productivity, not for monetization, just for the joy of it. Whether it’s painting, gardening, journaling, or dancing around your kitchen, those little creative acts can offer us the daily opportunity to play.

We’ll explore the power of hobbies and how we can bring more of them into our lives. This is your permission slip to reconnect with joy, curiosity, and the playful parts of yourself you may have forgotten.

Feeling lost is a pretty common adulting experience. But it can feel pretty difficult to be found again. Today on the podcast Lucie shares her experiences of being lost as an adult and how in her recent 'lost moment' she used a play and wonder framework to rebuild a map and help her move forward into a new direction feeling less lost.

Tune in to get:

• A permission slip not to know and be figuring it out
• A creative and playful map to use when you are feeling lost
• A reminder that you're not alone and some support to create some momentum.

The quote I miss quote during the episode: "Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions.” - Mark Twain
