In this episode, we explore the transformative power of play for adults, challenging the notion that play is only for children. We discuss how toxic productivity can inhibit creative expression and suggest reframing activities to include joy and spontaneity, regardless of conventional productivity outcomes. Our conversation covers how play can lead to greater social connections and even enhance productivity by promoting mental breaks. We conclude with practical tips for those listeners struggling to identify playful activities. We also encourage you to find personal joy in everyday moments, and prioritize play alongside other daily commitments.
