In this episode of the Talking Business Australia Podcast, we chat with Amy Cox from Playful Families.

Amy Cox is the founder of the multi-award winning business Playful Families™. A mother-of-four, former teacher, postgraduate in play therapy, and matrescence activist, Amy helps overwhelmed mums shake off the 'shoulds' of parenting and choose their own playful path.

Amy's online event Playful Challenge, her online membership Play Squad, along with her 6-week group program The Smile Connection, have helped thousands of mums of young children to parent with more joy, playfulness and connection - even in the messy, ordinary moments.
