Jamie, Lucy, and Avery share their own experiences with play, discuss benefits of play, and encourage listeners to experiment with play to connect more fully with themselves and the world, both personally and professionally.  We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.—George Bernard Shaw. In this episode we discuss:Play’s impact on our brains and overall well-being (the lesson of the sea squirt!)How play differs from other activitiesConnecting with childhood memories of playDifferent modes of playTips for creating more opportunities for playDo try this at home:Find everyday opportunities to playConnect to play through movementCreate a safe space for playAllow yourself to be a beginner againSurround yourself with others who are supportive of play
