What if play isn’t just something we do, but a way of being? This episode explores play as a state of curiosity, freedom, and connection—one that nourishes our sense of joy, replenishment, and belonging. Listeners are invited to notice their own moments of play and consider how this shift in perspective can deepen their work with children, themselves, and the world around them.
