150 | How the pursuit of joy and wonder can change your life feat. fun expert Mike Rucker PhD – Meant to Bloom: personal growth for hot mess moms
I’m so tired of hearing that moms can’t have any fun beyond going to the bathroom alone. We spend nearly 24 hours of our days in the same room as the world’s greatest fun-havers. Kids learn through play, they thrive on play, they can create play out of any situation if we allow them to – and so can we! It’s time to tap into that child-like wonder and let yourself enjoy the mundane moments in life, let’s make it fun!
Dr. Mike Rucker is an organizational psychologist, behavioral scientist, and charter member of the International Positive Psychology Association.
