Plus a dash of London Club Culture and Rotting Fruit Exhibits.

Play isn’t just for kids — and creatives especially need regular doses of unproductive, silly fun to fuel their best work.

Creative coach and former magazine editor Sheryl Garratt is here to shake up the way you think about productivity, rest, and the myth of doing it all. From adult play dates to redefining success on your terms, Sheryl shares how play fuels creativity, why creative work doesn’t always look like work, and how setting your own boundaries (and sticking to them) is the ultimate creative power move.

If you’ve been stuck in the perfectionism trap or wondering why work feels like your whole personality lately, this episode is your reminder that play isn’t optional — it’s essential.
