Play isn’t frivolous - it’s a high-level nervous system strategy. In this episode, we explore how play rewires the nervous system, restores creativity, and improves leadership performance. You’ll learn why women in responsibility-heavy roles lose access to play and how reintroducing joy enhances clarity, communication, and decision-making. This episode reframes play as a tool for leadership effectiveness, not a reward for productivity.
