What if one simple habit could completely change how you work and live?

In this week’s episode of WTF: Where’s the Fun?!, we uncover the habit so many of us overlook: reconnecting with what truly matters most.

Inspired by a powerful story shared by Dr. Gabor Maté, we unpack what happens when we trade play for productivity, and why fulfillment only happens when you reconnect with what truly matters most.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why we unconsciously disconnect from joy (and how to reclaim it)
✨ How childhood patterns quietly drive overwork and burnout
✨ What the “What Matters Most” exercise reveals about your real priorities
✨ Why joy and ambition can co-exist—and actually amplify each other
✨ How to start bringing play back into your daily life (yes, even through coleslaw 🥬)

Because fulfillment isn’t about doing more—it’s about remembering what makes you feel alive.

This episode is for you if…
✔️ You’re ambitious but craving more ease, freedom, and fun
✔️ You’ve been checking all the boxes yet still feel something’s missing
✔️ You’re ready to redefine success on your own terms

Because when you prioritize joy, you don’t lose momentum—you find meaning.
