About this listen
What if the thing you’re missing isn’t more discipline — it’s more play?
Not structured play.
Not “fun time” on your calendar.
Not something productive or Pinterest-worthy.
Real play.
Pointless, joyful, silly, inefficient play.
In this episode, we unpack:
✔️ Why a lack of play quietly fuels anxiety, irritability, and burnout
✔️ The neuroscience of how play expands creativity, resilience, and emotional regulation
✔️ How play restores executive function — the part of your brain responsible for decision-making and focus
✔️ Simple ways to bring play back into your life (even if you feel disconnected from it)
This isn’t about adding another task to your day.
It’s about remembering what your nervous system already knows:
Play is medicine.
Play is regulation.
Play brings you back to yourself.
If you’ve been efficient, responsible, and exhausted, this episode will feel like an exhale — and an invitation to feel alive again.
