Feeling stuck? In a rut? Family or work driving you up a wall? Maybe it's time to take a side quest.
Much like the optional, lore-building journeys in video games that enrich the main mission, real-life side quests bring a sense of whimsy to your daily routine. In real life, that could look like learning to sew, picking up kickball, or anything else that adds a little whimsy into your routine. To rediscover the childlike joy of taking a side quest, Brittany is joined by
Marielle Segarra, host of NPR's Life Kit;
Dr. Kyra Gaunt, associate professor of ethnomusicology at the University at Albany; and
Sahara Moné, curator and owner of community activities collective Let's Play NYC.
