213. The psychology of play

213. The psychology of play

Is the secret to a happier, less stressful, more connected life actually play? A lot of the research is telling us so! As we get older sometimes we lose a bit of our joy, awe and wonder, and the time we have for our friendships becomes more restricted by work, obligations, distance, commitment and seriousness. In today's episode, let's talk about why the solution to that may be to bring back adult playdates, including:

  • The psychology behind why play is important
  • The loneliness epidemic
  • Why our sense of connection has become disrupted
  • Our 8 play personalities
  • The power of parallel play
  • Microhabits for creating playfulness and fun, and so much more!

Listen now! And don't forget to schedule your playdate!!
