#73 šŸŽØ Embracing Play: Lessons from Van Gogh and Playmobil


Listen Later

In this Saturday episode, I share a personal story that unfolded just yesterday, which led me to reflect deeply on the concept of playfulness in adulthood. The arrival of a Playmobil set featuring my favorite artist, Vincent Van Gogh, sparked excitement, curiosity, and unexpected conversations within my family. My youngest daughter's reaction to seeing an adult buy a toy for himself, the ensuing dialogue about Van Gogh's life and struggles with mental health, and her innocent invitation to play together, underscore the importance of embracing play at any age and the powerful conversations and connections it can foster.


Key Takeaways:

āœ… Adults too can, and should, embrace playfulness and the joy it brings.

āœ… Art and toys can be gateways to important conversations about history, mental health, and emotional expression.

āœ… Playing together strengthens familial bonds and encourages mutual understanding and empathy.

āœ… Embracing one's interests, like Van Gogh's art, can lead to meaningful shared experiences and learning opportunities.
