Podcasts about playful

Today's episode is about giving yourself permission to play with creativity in midlife because it can be self-care in disguise. It's quite common to regret not allowing yourself to be happy. Nobody wants regrets in life. Having increased awareness about your thoughts related to what makes you happy and how creativity can help your happiness is important.  Learn more: https://suzyrosenstein.com/podcast/ep-404-permission-to-play-with-in-midlife-why-creativity-is-self-care-in-disguise/

Imagine being barely old enough to ride a bike, yet seeing footprints pressed down on the blanket tent you're hiding under – and there's no one in the room. Fast-forward to your teen years, where shadow figures stand in the doorway at bedtime, footsteps tromp across hardwood floors when no one's there, and a best friend runs out crying after a favorite headband literally frisbees itself across the room, shattering your mirror. These eerie pranks don't stop at vanishing clothing reappearing months later in an attic cubbyhole. Was it a restless spirit, a playful poltergeist, or something far more mysterious?   This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

What’s the why? Why do we treat fun like a reward instead of a necessity?

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the acclaimed painter, Rose Wylie! Born in 1934, as the youngest of seven children to Victorian parents, Wylie spent her early childhood in India before coming to England aged 5. This was in 1939, in the midst of a bomb-filled Second World War and increasingly fractured world. She went on to study figurative painting, at Folkestone and Dover College of Art in Kent from 1952–56, at a time when tutors would say to her ‘It's no good bothering with you, you're a girl, you'll get married, have children and that'll be that.' … It was then to a teacher training programme at Goldsmiths before putting art aside to raise three children. This was, until 1979 when Wylie returned to the studio enrolling at the Royal College of Art, in her early 40s. Her first solo exhibition came a few years later in 1985, but despite Wylie working in her cottage-slash-studio in Kent for the last 50+ years – where we are very excitingly recording today – it was not until the last 10–15 years that her work has been given the attention and acclaim it has always deserved. Playful and fractured, featuring text overlaid with image, witnessing a Rose Wylie painting in person is to see the world in a different way. Wylie takes recognisable elements from pop culture, history, mythology, sport, even the Bible – from flowers, battenberg cakes, sportstars, queens, to the likes of Nicole Kidman and Emily Maitlis – and shows us them anew, in her paintings that are void of perspective to the point that there is no indication of where the work starts or ends. Her paintings are sometimes full of movement – like a football being kicked, almost balletically, with players, clad in yellow, darting across the dotty canvas that surrounds its viewer. At other times they remind me of a film playing out – like the blood-clad figure lying on the floor in Kill Bill – or even a script with stage directions featuring phrases like “getting dark” or “yellow” … Wylie's paintings are full of decisions, ideas, and the more I look at them, the more her world opens up… Now 90 years old, after a celebrity-filled birthday bash, Wylie is back better than ever for her exhibition at David Zwirner London “When Found becomes Given”, opening on April 3rd, and I couldn't be more delighted to be speaking to her at her Kent-based studio today.

He works as Associate Professor of Games and Occulture at Falmouth University in Cornwall, where he specialises in the occult and games. He is the author of two monographs Quests: Design, Theory, and History in Games and Narratives (now in its second edition) and Game Magic: A Designer's Guide to Magic Systems in Theory and Practice. He translates theory into practice as a core team member of Apocalypse Studios, where he consults on worldbuilding and systems design. He is also the creator of “Howard's Law of Occult Design,” published in 100 Principles of Game Design. Howard has presented on games and the occult at a variety of international conferences, including Berlin Occulture, Trans-States, and ESSWE9. In addition, he has been an invited speaker at Viktor Wynd's Last Tuesday Society, where he has spoken about folk magic and folk games. Howard studies Sabbatic Craft at the intersection of the Left Hand Path and the Typhonian current. Through his scholarship and creative practice, Howard is an ambassador for the power of play as a transformative and transcendent practice.[ Falmouth University Website]In this interview, Jeff shares his background as a “technomage” and talks about his understanding of ludomancy and the history of the concept. With regard to classic role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, he discusses the effects that the moral panic known as the ‘Satanic Panic' had on gaming and game developers, not only during the ‘peak' years but also in later years. Jeff also talks about ‘magical' or ‘occult' games that have been inspired by various forms of media, including the sci-fi/fantasy/horror genre, as well as how the motivations and attitudes of players have changed over the years. On an historical level, Jeff gives some examples of games that are based on occult groups/traditions. He also talks about how he approaches his own game design with occult practices as a starting point, and gives some examples of games that people could look into, should they be interested. Lastly, Jeff expands on his concept of ‘playful occulture' as the basis for an upcoming monograph, and shares a bit about an article he co-wrote for RENSEP, titled "To Reveal the Hidden Kingdom of Eld: Andrew Chumbley, the Cultus Sabbati, and Imaginal Space in Cornwall” that can be found on the RENSEP website for members.

Play isn't just for children! It's a secret weapon for creativity, problem-solving, and resilience. But somewhere along the way, many of us started treating it like a luxury rather than a necessity. In this episode, we're flipping that narrative. We'll explore why play matters in leadership and life, uncover the science behind it, and dive into Stuart Brown's play personalities, because yes, you have one! And if you've ever Googled ‘adult play'… well, you might have found more than you bargained for!! So, let's get into it, because what if play wasn't something tomake time for, but something that made time better?Stuart Brown: Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul | Amazon.co.ukStuart Brown: Play is more than just fun | TED TalkThe Importance of Play for Adults - National Institute for PlayThe 8 Play Personalities that illustrate how we have funDr Stuart Brown on The 7 Properties of Play | Human PerformanceCan We Actually Develop Leadership Through Play? | Psychology TodayWhat is LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®? | Official LEGO® Shop CC |Official LEGO® Shop US

I recently had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Paddy McQueen from Swansea University to discuss a fascinating paper he had authored exploring the ethical dilemmas of supporting talented children. Our conversation explored the philosophical questions about childhood, talent development, and the responsibilities we have as parents, coaches and policy makers. Paddy introduced me to three different views of childhood - 'the sapling view' (seeing childhood merely as preparation for adulthood), 'the fruit view' (seeing childhood as superior to adulthood), and 'the caterpillar view' (seeing childhood and adulthood as distinctly valuable stages). These perspectives create different frameworks for thinking about how we should approach the sport experience for children.We discussed the tension between prioritising intrinsic childhood goods like free play, fun and social connection, versus instrumental goods that prepare children for adult success. The conversation revealed how deeply our cultural mindset about childhood affects the decisions we make in youth sports—often leading to an industrialised approach that sacrifices childhood experiences for potential future achievements that statistically few will attain. My three key takeaways from the conversation:How we view childhood fundamentally shapes our approach to talent development—each perspective (sapling, fruit, or caterpillar) leads to different choices.The sacrifices required for "talent maximisation" often undermine intrinsic childhood goods that cannot be recovered later in life.Playful, enjoyable sporting experiences may actually be more effective for skill development than highly structured, adult-centric training methods.If you found these ideas thought-provoking, I invite you to join my learning group called 'The Guild of Ecological Explorers' by heading to www.thetalentequation.co.uk and clicking on the 'join a learning group' button. There you'll connect with others who are exploring these connections between philosophy, psychology, and sports developmentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-talent-equation-podcast--2186775/support.

A common fear a lot of us share when we're thinking about quitting drinking or just starting our sober journeys is that life will be boring without alcohol. We've spent most of our adult lives believing the lie that alcohol not only makes life fun, but makes *us* fun. What if I told you that the opposite can be true? And there are actually endless ways to have the most fun while sober? And that we can access our most playful and joyful selves without alcohol? In today's episode I'm chatting with Kara Latta, aka the Playful Warrior, about how we can embrace play and rediscover fun without alcohol, and the incredible ways our lives will start to transform when we do.

We lost a sweet family dog very unexpectedly this past week and it got me thinking a lot about life and how perceive our expectations... A lot of tears, frustrations, and other emotions throughout that morning and a lot of my thoughts came back to the expectations or misexpectations we put on life circumstances. Although Stella was older, we always forgot just how old she was because of how young and spry she always SEEMED. And in comparison, the other family dog, Levi—who is 2 years older than her— APPEARED old in every way. We have been expecting his “time” to come for about 2 years now… preparing mentally for it to happen at a moments' notice. For Stella, none of us were expecting she would go first, and none of us were expecting her to go like this. Playful and energetic right until the very end. If anyone had any concerns about it, some of my siblings and I would've made more of an effort to be with her in the last week.  One sibling beating herself up over the fact that this dog was originally hers as a puppy, and she ALMOST came home to my parent's house last night, but had a change of plans, and for that reason didn't get to see her one more time or be there when it happened. How often do we have strong emotions come up in day to day life that wouldn't be as strong if our expectations had just been aligned with the reality? If we had expected to lose a dog in her older age today, after living a beautiful life, we probably would feel peaceful instead of distraught. A tangible example for day to day life… how often do you go into the week thinking “I'm going to eat healthy, hit my macros, and go to the gym X times” but then work gets busy, you forget to track, you miss a workout, and then you think “this sucks” and feel upset? What if you spent some time going into the week planning as best you can for what you KNOW is on your plate— or even just being real with yourself if you have a career that can ramp up or down in busyness in a moment's notice— and set really realistic expectations for the week, even if it's not what you WANT the week to look like?  Would you feel a lot better if you missed the gym? Probably. And just feeling slightly better can be the difference between you adjusting the plan and continuing to move forward vs. giving up on the plan and “starting over next week.” I even felt this with a vacation recently… where I had labeled it as a “vacation” because we were going to Cancun, Mexico, and I had expectations of coming home feeling refreshed and relaxed because that's what usually happens on beach vacations. But the reality is that this was not a vacation, but a time spent working remotely while also being with friends in Mexico outside of working.  This led to resentment and frustration when working, feeling more physically run down because I wasn't resting, and coming home with thoughts like “maybe I just shouldn't have even gone”… yet if I had gone in with the right expectations, I still might've felt tired coming home, but I would've had thoughts like “it's worth it because that was so fun, and how cool that I have a job where I can work remotely in beautiful places?!” At the end of the day, if you're not happy with the reality… it didn't/isn't matching your expectations… then you can either change your expectations or change your reality. But don't sit between the middle indulging in really negative emotions when you are in control of the way you think about your situation. I'm not saying to just NOT feel negative emotions (trust me, I'm feeling them today), but I do think we can also choose to look at the “bright side.” Listen in as we talk through this thought process together and RIP Stella. While I wish I could've hugged you one more time, I'm happy to know that it was quick, that a family member was home, and that you did live such a great life right up to the end. Time Stamps: (3:32) Losing A Family Pet (6:52) Expectations and Our Feelings (8:29) Your Expectations and Your Fitness Goals (12:02) Managing Expectations and Reality (19:42) The Power of Awareness (23:22) Our Team at Vital Spark (26:29) Working On Your Expectations---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

This episode is a reset of one which originally aired in September of 2021. That was a heavy time, and this, a consideration of pastoral playfulness, seemed particularly necessary. That necessity, sadly, remains. There is so much that can weigh us down, that we forget that God has created us for joy. There is much […]

Are you tired of feeling like dating is a chore rather than a fun and exciting adventure? Did you know that being fun and playful are the top attributes that people inherently look for when dating and ultimately landing a partner? In Episode 388 of The Charisma Quotient, “ICYMI: How To Be Playful & Fun When Dating,” Kimmy emphasizes in this episode playfulness as a vital trait in attracting a partner and how often it outranks traditional attributes like intelligence or career success in desirability. During the episode, Kimmy tackles common hurdles that hinder playfulness, such as cultural upbringing or fear of judgment. Through compelling client stories, like that of a high-achieving woman who, despite her success, struggled to connect until she embraced playfulness, listeners gain a real-world glimpse into the magic of letting loose. This client, who once saw dating as another boardroom challenge, learned to dance in the realm of whimsical conversation and flirty femininity, eventually attracting a partner who adored her lively energy. You'll hear: Practical strategies to tap into your inner child and why it's crucial to incorporate play into your routine. Actionable tips on how to approach dating with a lighthearted spirit. Why flirting is a way to be present and engaging without the serious intention of an outcome. How embracing playfulness can alleviate exhaustion from dating. If you tend to be a little serious in your interactions and need help incorporating fun in your dates, Kimmy has a new workshop coming up on March 25th - The Dating Improv Game where you can practice creating chemistry through play. You will learn how to harness the power of flirty moves, engaging conversations, and body language to create lasting impressions through a series of mock dates and coaching.  Register now at www.stophatingdating.com.

On this episode, we were joined by Laurent Binet, the Prix Goncourt-winning author of HHHH, to discuss his new novel, Perspectives—a murder mystery set in Renaissance Florence, where Giorgio Vasari (possibly the world's first art critic) is tasked with finding the killer of one of the city's most prominent painters.Like much of Binet's previous work, the novel is a historical counterfactual: the period's mise-en-scène is precisely rendered, but the story he tells is playful and inventive."Playful" is also a word that can be used to describe Binet himself. As a guest, he's funny, laid-back, and happy to go down the rabbit hole with us as we discuss everything from Proust to Philip Marlowe, Simenon to Stanley Kubrick.

Perhaps growing up, you had a mischievous uncle or friend: someone who loved you in part by kidding around with you, playing innocent practical jokes, or giving you a non-painful noogie with a whimsical glint in their eye. That was Jesus. He occasionally used his miraculous power in funny ways. He seemed to intentionally confuse his disciples at times both to deepen their thinking and, seemingly, for his own personal amusement. He loved others deeply and with good humor. This week, we'll explore the lavish love of a playful savior.
