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.
