Thank you for joining us for episode two of the playful wise woman show. I'm Cait Finn, your host and Playful Wise Woman. I am so excited that you all are here for this journey, this path, everything that it's been in starting this podcast for me in this labor of love, and I'm really grateful for the community that's been around and supporting this.
I want to spend today talking a little bit more about why play and joy. Why joy matters, why prioritizing our joy matters, why play, and I want to break down some myths around it. Name them, discuss them, and share a couple of stories with you on how this has all come to be in my life personally and professionally.
Think of it kind of like an origin story. Joy is everything, and a lot of times clients come to me and they don't know where to start. They're so burnt out, they're so overloaded that they don't know how to even find their joy again. And so that's where play comes in, because when we can play more and have this idea of a playful spirit, open to exploring, trying new things.
We give ourselves permission to experience the world in a different way. We give ourselves permission to learn what it is that brings us those little bits of joy. And that's a big part of the journey that I take my clients on and a journey that I would encourage you all to Give yourselves permission to go on, to try.
Try the wild thing. Try the new activity. See if you like it. It's not a failure if it's not your thing. It's another check mark on the list saying, Oh, this isn't for me. This doesn't bring me joy. This doesn't excite me. This doesn't help me out. I think one of the biggest myths out there, though, around joy, right, and play, and those of us that teach this and emphasize this, and this is really what kept me back, held me back from leading with this idea of joy and play, is that there's this perception out there that you hear the expressions, our heads are in the clouds and we're not realistic, or just burying our heads in the sand.
