In this special episode of The Play Rebels, TJ guides a special guest through a play exploration. Together, TJ and Andrea explore where joy currently lives in her life, her play patterns, and where she is struggling with play. 

As an entrepreneur, Andrea’s work requires creativity, flexibility, and resilience. TJ and Andrea explore the challenges of balancing creativity and play within high-risk environments. TJ also shares small, digestible play practices that can help mitigate the pressures of uncertainty while maintaining joy. 

TJ guides Andrea, Bailey, and the listeners through a practical exercise on completing the 'play wave' and how it applies to everyday life.
