Episode 128: Too Busy? Why It's Time to Rediscover What You Enjoy

When life gets full, the things we do simply because they bring us joy are often the first things to disappear.

Sometimes that's because life became painful. Sometimes it became demanding. And sometimes life became full of genuinely good things—careers, relationships, children, businesses, responsibilities and opportunities.

But when was the last time you asked yourself:

What do I actually enjoy doing?

In this episode of Bounce Back, Black Woman!, Del explores why enjoyment deserves a place in an intentional life—even when it produces absolutely nothing.

You'll hear about:

• Why good things can exhaust us, too
• Rediscovering things you once loved
• Giving the current version of yourself permission to discover something new
• Why adults can struggle with being beginners
• The pressure to be "good" at our hobbies
• Why everything you're good at doesn't need to become a side hustle
• Making room for joy before everything else on the to-do list is finished
• Enjoyment as part of intentional living—not a reward for completing it

A reminder from this episode:

You don't have to be good at everything you enjoy. And you don't have to make money from everything you're good at.

Faith Reflection

Ecclesiastes 3:12–13 (NLT) reminds us that enjoying the fruits of our lives and our labor can itself be a gift from God.

Bounce Back Challenge

Do one thing this week simply because you enjoy it.

It doesn't have to make you better.

It doesn't have to make you money.

You don't have to share it.

And you don't have to be good at it.

Enjoyment is reason enough.
