I’ve been helping people play for over 2️⃣0️⃣ years🤸! I’ve learned so much but these are 7️⃣ major takeaways:

1️⃣ It’s not that you don’t know HOW to play, it’s that you don’t know how to NAME it🤯. If your calendar 📆 only names obligations, it’s very difficult to NOTICE when you have fun 🤩 ! Once you start NAMING your play every day, you start to notice it more ✍️!

2️⃣ The more you notice what you ALREADY do for play, the more it grows 🌱. The more it grows, the more ideas you have, the more priority you give to it!

3️⃣ You still like to do what you did as a kid 🥹! Yes, even hopscotch. Or legos. Or dress up. Or paint by number. Or play team sports. Or Dance. Or all of it. The sooner you get back to what you loved then, the sooner you unlock the best of play inside of you!

4️⃣ True play is YOURS. This is deeply personal work. No one, not even me (self-proclaimed queen of play) can tell you HOW to play. Real play is yours to explore!

5️⃣ Play is as natural as eating & sleeping. Don’t believe me? Go watch babies of ANY species - they only know how to eat, sleep & play. This is GREAT news, because…

6️⃣ You actually don’t have to LEARN to play, you have to REMEMBER. Once you remember what play looks, sounds & feels like; there is no limit to how you can weave it into your life!

7️⃣ Who you play with is who you are 🪞. Your playmates share your values of time, money, and so much more. If you’re looking to add some play into your life, take a look at your tribe and get really honest about what they do for play - does it align with who you are? 🧐

Does it ever feel like the world is ending? 🌎

Let me rephrase that.

Maybe not THE world, but does YOUR world ever feel like it is crumbling all around you? This is more common than you might think. In today’s society many people are pushing themselves so hard with work and hustle culture that it leads to burnout.

So what’s the solution?

Play.

Play is the antidote to burnout. And after experiencing total burnout herself, my friend Morgan Shidler founded her wellness program called Hustle and Play.

Fusing personal development with time management, Hustle and Play is a program that ensures you make time for play.

The podcast is out now on Spotify, Apple and YouTube!

If you are looking to use the energy of the new year to get clarity on where you’ve been to build a beautiful vision for where you’re going; this retreat is for you.

If you are looking to blend learning + integration, play + rest, community + solo time; this retreat is DEFINITELY for you.

This will be the 5th annual H&P retreat and we are so excited to be back!

➡️ we know what works and what doesn’t
&
➡️ we understand the beautiful balance required give you the fuel + clarity + community to make 2027 the most conscious, playful & connected yet!

I’ve been at this a LONG time. There are places in your life for goals, and then there is your ACTUAL LIFE which should be dreamy & expansive.

Goals are finite.
Dreams are elusive & ever evolving… just like YOU.

I can’t wait to share the next product from @hustleandplay … it is very much the result of your dreams coming true again & again as you get better at naming them.

Little wins go a long way!

When I started working out at my gym I felt like an imposter and I didn’t even buy spin shoes for like 2 years (even tho I went to class 2x a week).

Eventually I started competing with myself a little for mileage but never thought anyone even really noticed me in class.

Then some dude said him and his buddy were annoyed they couldn’t beat me one day and I was SHOCKED. Like what? Two grown, very fit men couldn’t catch up with me?!

It activated the competitor in me and now it’s wayyyyyyy more fun to show up and show out as the winner I am 😂. Literally no one cares but me but it’s made me workouts better and my afternoons more fun.

Choosing play makes life sweeter and healthier and this 🌎 a little less 🗑️ and I like sharing what works!!

What’s fun for you lately?! taken in Long Beach, California by @morganshidler
