In this shared, heart-opening and laughter-filled episode of Big Blend Radio’s "Soul Diving Sunday" Show, Shelley Whizin "Your Live & Die Happy Coach," shares her innovative and joy-centered approach to transforming relationship patterns through play.

Shelley introduces listeners to the concept of PlayShops—interactive, experiential sessions designed to help people understand and release unhealthy relationship habits with humor, self-awareness, and compassion. Through engaging stories and heartfelt insights, she explains how fear-based patterns—what she lovingly calls our “Little Fearlings”—often take the driver’s seat in relationships, blocking love and connection. But through laughter, awareness, and playful role-play, we can retrain the brain, reclaim joy, and create relationships rooted in love and authenticity.

🧠💛 Key Takeaways: - PlayShops offer a lighthearted, effective way to shift negative relationship habits - Fear often drives emotional reactions and blocks love - Self-awareness and personal responsibility are essential for relationship growth - Humor can be a powerful healing tool in emotional work - Compassion and curiosity foster deeper human connection - Leadership in love requires vulnerability and authenticity - Living a “yummy delicious life” means embracing joy, love, and laughter every day - Daily love vows can strengthen relationships and nurture ongoing growth - It’s never too late to rewrite your love story—with play and presence
