Fun Isn't Frivolous: Why Responsible Women Need Joy - And How to Stop Earning It

Episode 34
June 15 · 25 mins 47 secs
Show notes

If you feel like you're always the one holding everything together while forgetting to actually live, this episode is your permission slip to stop. Blaze dives deep into why "fun" isn't a luxury reserved for retirement or a reward for finishing chores—it's a vital human nutrient.

We explore the trap of becoming the "conduit" for everyone else's happiness, the heavy cost of waiting until everything is perfect to enjoy life, and how to decouple your worthiness from your productivity. Blaze shares personal stories about grief, motherhood, and the liberating realization that having fun is a human right, not a privilege.

You can read a full transcript of this episode here.

🌿 Looking for a deeper, live experience this season?

I'll be hosting a Summer Solstice gathering on June 24th — a space to slow down, reflect, and work with this energy in real time. We'll be exploring how to hold the buildup of summer energy, set boundaries, and move through the season without getting run over by the chaos.
