Ep. 68 | When Someone Gives You Permission to Have Fun
Podcast: The Daily Ascent,Molly Carmel,What You're CravingPublished On: Wed Feb 04 2026
Description: In today's episode, I'm talking about the moment my yoga teacher Gregg set a boundary with me when I showed up to class bratty and demanding - and why his simple statement "We have fun here" changed how I show up to my life. I share the story of meeting Gregg during one of the darkest times in my life, how I was trying to make everything serious and heavy, and what happened when someone gave me permission to have fun anyway. We'll explore why playfulness is not a luxury but a lifeline, why joy fuels us to keep fighting the good fight, and why giving ourselves permission to laugh might be the most radical thing we can do in really heavy times. Question to carry into your day: What joy are you denying yourself - and what would it look like to open your heart to a different experience? Want to chat about working together? Me too!
