On Play: Mind Bites episode

When was the last time you really engaged in play? It’s often seen as something reserved for childhood, a break from the “serious stuff” of life. But what if play isn’t a distraction at all? What if it’s one of the most powerful tools we have for growth, clarity, and resilience?

In this episode of Mind Bites, I’m joined again by emotional intelligence practitioner Mike Martin to explore the deeper meaning of play—why it matters, how it can restore us, and the surprising ways it can transform the way we move through challenges.

We dive into how play lightens the mind, sparks curiosity, and even opens doors to healing. Choosing play doesn’t mean ignoring the hard stuff. It means facing it with energy, creativity, and belief.

If you want to shift from stress and pressure into possibility, and bring more joy and strength into your everyday life, this conversation might just provide the pathway you need: play isn’t optional. It’s essential.
