Episode 158: Grown-Up Play

When was the last time you did something purely for fun? I mean real play, the kind where you lose track of time and forget to check your phone. For a lot of us, it has been longer than we would like to admit. Somewhere in the years of being the one everyone counts on, play got filed under "childish" or "later," and later never quite arrives. This episode looks at what goes missing when grown women stop playing, and what comes back when we start again. You will hear: Why play tends to disappear the moment life gets full, and who usually loses it first How playfulness shows up in more forms than the loud, goofy stereotype Why God's own picture of a healed, peaceful place makes room for play Scripture: Zechariah 8:5 Research note: Inspired by René Proyer's research on adult playfulness.
