Description

Have you ever thought about how something as simple as buying flowers or adding color to your day could actually improve your leadership and wellbeing? In this episode, I’m diving into The Science of Whimsy — the intentional art of adding surprise, beauty, and delight into your daily life. I share a personal story about how a spontaneous bouquet of fall flowers shifted my entire mindset, and explore the real neuroscience behind why these small acts of joy matter.

Join me as we uncover how whimsy isn’t frivolous — it’s a powerful leadership tool that regulates your nervous system, sparks creativity, and helps you lead with light instead of pressure. You’ll hear how to intentionally weave moments of play and beauty into your work and life, and why doing so can boost productivity, collaboration, and overall happiness.
