What Did You Do for Fun as a Child? Rediscovering Energy and Joy in Midlife
Episode Summary:In this quick Package Your Genius mini-episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite prompts from the Package Your Genius Companion Workbook: What did you do for fun as a child when no one was directing your time?
As midlife professionals, our lives can get so full and dynamic that we forget the simple things that once energized us. In this episode, I invite you to reflect on the activities that lit you up during a simpler time—and to consider what might still fuel your creativity, confidence, and personal brand today. Sometimes the clues to what you need now are hidden in what you loved then.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:-
Why childhood joys and passions can serve as a compass for your brand and career.
-
How midlife transitions can distract us from the things that once energized us.

A simple reflection exercise to help you reconnect with your unique spark.
