    What if you could rekindle the joy and wonder of your childhood? Join us on a heartfelt, reflective journey as Dr. Jenni and I revisit the essence of our younger days, starting with a lively introduction sparked by her newfound love for a Louisiana root beer. We dive into a powerful discussion about a movie on Paramount+ that resonated deeply with us, sparking emotions and memories of our own upbringing. From fending for ourselves in less than perfect homes to cherishing imaginary friends, we explore how these experiences have shaped us into who we are today.

    Ever felt the pressure to fit in as a child, only to miss the uninhibited joy of those early years? Our conversation takes a candid look at the struggles of hyperactivity, societal expectations, and the resistance to medication. We ponder the rush to adulthood and the nostalgic longing for the simpler, carefree days of youth. Highlighting the balance between adult responsibilities and a playful heart, we reflect on the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder and fun in our daily lives.

    Remember that toy you always wanted as a kid? We do too. From childhood desires for toys like the Grasshopper remote control car to adult indulgences, we dissect the emotional ties to our possessions and the societal pressures that come with them. Sharing personal stories of local stores that fostered community, we discuss the joy of finally granting ourselves permission to indulge as adults. The episode wraps up with a powerful message about awakening to childlike freedom, shedding societal expectations, and embracing life with joy and authenticity. Tune in, and let's rediscover the child within together.
