A key theme of the episode is the concept of play and curiosity as natural states of being. Kayla and Brandi discuss how societal expectations often stifle these instincts, urging adults to rediscover the joy of play.
Whether through interactions with children or personal hobbies, incorporating play into daily life can enhance presence and well-being. Listeners interested in following Kayla's journey can find her podcast, 'Overthinking with Kayla,' on various platforms and connect with her on Instagram.
