Nikki and Damaris ask a simple question with a big answer: if you want more joy, how do you actually make it happen? They compare a quick dinner with friends to a 48-hour getaway and do the (very fuzzy) math on why longer, unhurried time—complete with comfortable lulls—creates deeper connection than a three-hour catch-up.

Damaris shares her next move: a studio-led yoga retreat. No spreadsheets, no group-text logistics—just show up and follow the plan. They talk about the surprising freedom that comes from outsourcing the itinerary, especially for recovering perfectionists who want the fun without the pressure to produce it.

From there, Nikki and Damaris offer “turnkey fun” ideas you can borrow this month: a season pass for nightly river sunset cruises (built-in plan, zero planning), a craft or pottery studio that preps the supplies so you only bring your people, and an outdoor yoga + firepit + hot-tub night to celebrate a birthday.

Finally, the two reflect on “seasons of fun”—how what thrilled you at 25 may not fit at 45—and how to protect your energy while still saying yes to play. Expect practical ways to build anticipation, permission to keep plans simple, and a gentle nudge: fun is a verb, and you’re allowed to press “go” on the easy version.
