We’ve spent years avoiding boredom—but what if we’ve been avoiding the wrong thing? 🤯

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Matt Larsen, child psychiatrist and father of five, to talk about why boredom is essential for creativity, connection, and even fun. It's time to put down the phone, embrace the silence, and rediscover the magic of being bored. 🎭🌿

🌟 "You don’t have to change the world. You just have to brighten your corner of it."

In this in-depth conversation, Sam Castor and I go beyond inspiration and into the real work of becoming a light in the world. We talk about the struggles, the responsibility, and the deep impact of choosing to shine, even when it’s difficult.

We explore:
💡 How to be a light in difficult conversations and relationships
🔥 The balance between optimism and realism—how light isn’t about ignoring darkness but facing it with strength
✨ Practical ways to brighten our homes, workplaces, and communities
🔦 Sam’s personal experiences and how he’s learned to be a light through challenges

This episode is about action. It’s about what happens when we stop waiting for change and start becoming the light ourselves.

📅 Listen in & join the movement—let’s Be Light together.

It's not your job to make your kids happy.

Dr. Becky at Good Inside explains why it's NOT your job to make your kids happy.

I recently found Liz Fosslien's sketches and LOVE what she has to share on embracing emotions at work!

Liz Fosslien: How to embrace emotions at work "You can't just flip a switch when you step into the office and turn your emotions off. Feeling feelings is part of being human," says author and illustrator Liz Fosslien. She shares why selective vulnerability is the key to bringing your authentic self to work.
