What if one of the most powerful ways to prevent burnout isn't working harder, finding more motivation, or completely changing your life—but simply learning how to play again?

In this episode, Jodi Salmond, creator of The Element of Play, explores how play can act as a powerful circuit breaker for burnout, helping people reconnect with joy, presence, authenticity, and the parts of themselves that often disappear under stress and exhaustion.

Jodi shares how her own experience with partner acrobatics helped her rediscover laughter, trust, connection, and lightness during a period of exhaustion. That experience became the foundation for her work helping individuals and organisations understand that play isn't childish or frivolous—it can be a practical tool for resilience, wellbeing, and preventing burnout.

• Why play can act as a circuit breaker for burnout and exhaustion

• How Jodi's personal experience with partner acrobatics inspired The Element of Play

• Why finding purpose alone isn't always enough when someone is deeply burnt out

• How tiny moments of play can create meaningful changes without requiring hours of free time

• Why play is about presence, lightness, authenticity, and personal engagement—not simply having fun

• How the PLAY framework can help you rediscover what makes you feel genuinely alive

• Why everyone has a different definition of play and how to identify what works for you

• How simple actions like deep breathing, movement, skipping, or connecting with friends can interrupt stress

• Why social connection is an important part of recovering from burnout

• How leaders can introduce play into the workplace without making employees feel pressured or uncomfortable

• Why playful workplace cultures can encourage psychological safety, creativity, trust, and communication

• How to recognise early warning signs of burnout before reaching a complete crash

After surviving a devastating car accident in 2014, Jeremy Greening's life changed forever. Although he escaped without broken bones, he was left with severe nerve damage, chronic pain, and a recovery that plateaued after months of rehabilitation. Faced with a "new normal," Jeremy began a journey that transformed not only his physical health but also his mindset, faith, and purpose.

In this episode, Jeremy shares how his personal struggles inspired his coaching philosophy of helping people move from life's valleys to victory through small, consistent steps. He explains why lasting transformation isn't about quick fixes, but about building hope, resilience, and emotional freedom one day at a time.

He discusses how the patches work by stimulating the body's natural repair processes through stem cell activation, helping reduce inflammation, improve energy, support recovery, and manage chronic pain. Alongside his personal experience, Jeremy shares stories from others who have experienced improvements in sleep, mobility, inflammation, and overall wellbeing.

After discovering a lump in her breast herself, Evelyn’s life changed dramatically. Extensive testing revealed six tumors in one quadrant of her breast, leading doctors to recommend aggressive treatment including chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiation, and hormone therapy. But instead of following the full conventional protocol, Evelyn chose a very different path.

In this episode, Evelyn shares her deeply personal cancer journey, the challenges of navigating a rigid medical system, and why she decided to trust her intuition when making treatment decisions. Living in regional Australia meant long hours traveling to appointments, giving her time to reflect, research, and question mainstream approaches to cancer care.

Evelyn explains why she chose a lumpectomy over a mastectomy, declined chemotherapy and radiation, and focused instead on lifestyle changes, detoxification practices, supplementation, grounding, fasting, and whole foods to support her healing journey. She also discusses the emotional impact of diagnosis, the importance of patient autonomy, and the need for more individualized healthcare options.

This conversation is not about telling people what they should do — it’s about empowering listeners to ask questions, educate themselves, and understand the importance of advocating for their own health decisions.

About the Guest:

Evelyn shares her personal experience navigating an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis while exploring a more holistic and individualized approach to healing.
