E 168: Reclaiming Joy: Why Fun and Creative Expression Are Hard—but Vital—for Adult Children of Dysfunction

In this solo episode, I’m diving into something that hits close to home—the struggle so many of us face when it comes to allowing ourselves joy, fun, and creative expression. If you grew up in a household shaped by alcoholism or dysfunction, you may have learned early on that survival came first—and playfulness, imagination, and lightheartedness often took a backseat.Following my beautiful conversation with Patricia O’Brien about the magic of intention and creative living, I wanted to explore why this kind of expression can feel so hard for us—and also, why it’s so important.I share from my own experience and offer insight into how reconnecting with creativity isn’t just about art—it’s about reclaiming your voice, your joy, and your right to fully live. Whether it’s through movement, music, laughter, or simply making space for fun, these moments become a bridge back to ourselves.This episode is an invitation to loosen the grip of perfectionism and rediscover the healing power of joy—because you truly deserve it.💫 Ready to go deeper?
