Returning to Pleasure (Even If You Thought That Chapter Was Over)

At some point in adulthood, many of us quietly stop doing the things that once brought us joy—not because we no longer love them, but because life got busy, responsibilities shifted, or we told ourselves that chapter had closed.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre reflects on what it means to return to pleasure without pressure or expectation. Inspired by her own experience of reconnecting with something she once loved, Elizabeth explores how joy doesn’t disappear—it waits. And how revisiting something familiar doesn’t mean recommitting forever; it simply means allowing curiosity back in.

This conversation is an invitation to soften the rules we’ve created around productivity, identity, and growth, and to remember that pleasure doesn’t have to earn its place in our lives. You’ll be guided through a simple, doable way to reconnect with something that once lit you up—without turning it into another obligation.

Because some parts of you aren’t gone.
 They’re just waiting to be welcomed back.

Thanks for tuning in—now go do one thing today that aligns with the life you’re here to live. Let’s keep living life purposely.
