An exploratory podcast about how humans relate to play through life. Interviews and observations of how play influences: relationships, business, marriage, entrepreneurs, family bonds, and self-care.
This book is for Fred Roger's fans, but for everyone looking to add a little more wonder, hope and curiosity in your life (especially since that was Mr. Rogers specialty). While this is geared toward parenting and raising the next generation, there are so many takeaways for the average adult to make their lives look and feel more enjoyable.
My favorite chapters were:
Turning 35 this week was great, I enjoyed my birthday, but in the spirit of sharing some summer fun, I came up with a list of simple ways you can make your summer truly feel like a break, even if you have to continue to show up to a desk everyday.
Fun is something we associate to everything from satisfaction to playfulness to leisure. If I have this right, I think the majority of people are not making enough fun in their life to find the satisfaction guarantee. This month we look at more ways to bring the fun back into your life.

and Remember what you personally find intuitively fun.

If you need more intuition in your life be sure to take a listen.

Here's some quick takeaways:?
Here is my list of small kindnesses to add to the world when and wherever you can:
Make people feel seen
Offer help. Reach in a grocery store, put someone's cart away
Pick up some trash, it's everywhere. Keep your eyes open.
Smile at someone (I realize this one seems difficult because we are masked a lot in public and you cannot see people's mouths, but try while you are driving, or walking on the sidewalk, or at a public ...
In this episode we talk about three things:
Her definition of kindness (which is good)
Her history of learning to be kind (which is great)

Listen in, and make the conscious choice to be a little kinder every single day.
Adlerian Psychology is an intense and determined look at how we don't really need to take our past lives into account when forming our everyday life. While I have the benefit of taking this incrementally into my own life, I want to empower you to do the same.

Boundaried kindness is what the world needs more of, and in fact, more self-comp...
Kindness is underrated, and underrepresented in our society, and yet it is one of the first things we experience and learn as human beings. Today, let's change the way we think about how kindness contributes, and hope to bring a little more into our lives to make ourselves love to live a little lighter.
