Join me as I sit down with licensed therapist and dance teacher Megan Barbee, LPC-MHSP, to explore the transformative power of play and creativity. We discuss why play is often associated solely with childhood and how societal pressures push us to set it aside. Megan shares practical insights for weaving play back into your daily life—even in the mundane—to boost mental health and nurture deeper connections with yourself and those around you.

We Explore:

• How play impacts your overall well-being
• Creative ways to bring play into the mundane
• Why we stop playing as adults—and how to change that
• Simple, fun practices to add more play to your daily life

Have you ever felt that something in your life—whether it’s a relationship, job, or environment—just doesn’t feel right anymore? In this episode, we dive into the art of knowing when it’s time to move on. I’ll share personal reflections on recent experiences with letting go, signs that it’s time to walk away, and steps to make the process feel empowering rather than overwhelming. From recognizing when a once-joyful experience has become a drain, to tuning into your intuition’s subtle (or not-so-subtle) nudges, this episode will help you decide when it’s time to move on—and how to do it with grace, clarity, and intention.

We Explore:

• Why I've been increasing my self-care this week
• Recognizing the difference between "drains" and "faucets"
• The importance of reassessing your values and standards to know if something is misaligned
• Tuning into your intuition and receiving hints that's time to make a change
• Why difficult conversations are not just about you
• Practical steps for walking away
