1KHO 826: Play is the Antidote to Performance | Nicole Zasowski, What If It's Wonderful?
6/13/202655 min
So many of us are preparing for disaster while life is happening right in front of us. In this beautiful conversation, Nicole Zasowski shares how years of loss, infertility, and heartbreak taught her something unexpected: joy isn't something you stumble into after everything works out. It's something you practice. We talk about why kids celebrate so naturally, why adults often lose that ability, how play helps break the grip of performance and productivity, and why noticing beauty outdoors might be one of the simplest ways to change your life. This episode is a reminder that today is worth celebrating, even if it isn't perfect.

This episode is sponsored by Fora Travel. I've always been the person people come to for travel advice, whether it's planning a camping trip in Northern Michigan, figuring out how to travel well with kids across the country, or finding experiences that actually help families connect instead of just filling an itinerary. I genuinely have loved helping people create meaningful adventures, and I know a lot of you listening are probably that person too, the friend who plans the trip, the one who researches the details, the one person people trust to find the hidden gems and make everything run smoothly. Fora is built for people exactly like that. Fora is a modern travel agency that helps people build their own travel business, no matter what stage of life they're in. You don't need prior experience because Fora gives you the training, technology, and support to help you get started, and you're joining a community of people who are building businesses centered around experiences, relationships, and helping others travel well. A lot of advisors begin simply by helping people they already know and grow naturally from there. What I also appreciate is that there are no sales quotas or minimums. You can build this at a pace that works for your life and your family. Your next act starts here. Become a Fora advisor today at foratravel.com/1000hours.
