We spend a lot of our adult lives in fear. Fear of failing, fear of being judged, fear of just not being good enough. But the funny thing is, as kids, many of us didn't really think about these things...we tried things out for the hell of it, we expressed how we truly felt, we lived life completely in the moment. 

And whilst we struggle with this all now, these are the very qualities that scientific research points to being essential for "successful" and meaningful lives. 

So, what is at the heart of this struggle? And how can we re-connect with the kid in us who could do these things with ease once-upon-a-time. Every month, Big Kid At Work's Josh Fineman talks to people at the forefront of mindfulness, play and creative learning, with the aim of providing you with the simple, insightful and practical tips to help you reconnect with your own inner kid, grow in confidence and live a more fulfilling life in the process. 

For true growth, we need to let go of our inner grown-up.
