I think we can all agree that children need to play.
Play is crucial for their brain development and their mental and emotional growth.
But what about us adults? Should play be abandoned once we reach adulthood?
The short answer is no, play should continue for everyone, no matter what age.
Why is play so important? Why should we make play a part of our everyday life? What does it even mean to “play”?
In this episode of the podcast, I’ll be taking a deep dive into the importance of play and hopefully inspire you to integrate more play into your day-to-day life.

230. What to Do in the Off-Season

One of the big keys to achieving anything significant in your life – losing weight and keeping it off, running a marathon – is confidence.
Being confident that you can accomplish something big will make that accomplishment practically inevitable.
The opposite is also true however – a severe lack of confidence will make it basically impossible to reach that big goal.
So how do you get more confidence? Well, you are in luck because that’s what’s on the agenda here today.
In this episode, I explain what confidence is, how it might just be the game-changer you’re looking for, and how to have more confidence now.
