Your Play History ✨
The Fastest Way Back to You
Hello!
Do you remember the last time you felt truly alive? That moment when you were lost in play, time vanished, and you were completely immersed in joy?
It’s not just a distant memory. It’s your gateway back to your most authentic, courageous, and adventurous self. 🎯

Your Play History: The Fastest Way Back to You
Dr. Stuart Brown, a leading expert on the science of play, tells the story of a lawyer who was once burnt out and unfulfilled. Despite his professional success, something was missing. 😕
It wasn’t until he revisited his childhood play memories that he recalled his love for baking as a kid.
That forgotten passion turned out to be the spark that reignited his joy and creativity, not just in his personal life but in his career as well. 💡
Just like that lawyer, our play history holds clues to our truest selves. When we reconnect with what once brought us joy, we discover what actually matters most to us now. 🎯🔥
A Real Story from One of My Clients
One of my clients went through a similar process. Here's what she shared after reconnecting with her own play history:
"During the weekend and thanks to understanding my play personality from you, I simply let go and started dancing at home (for my husband as he chose to watch) and my daughter joined me. We sang together and danced together, she and I. We both loved it. I rediscovered my joy for tap dancing."
This is exactly what happens when we give ourselves permission to explore what truly lights us up. Rediscovering her love for tap dancing brought new joy to her family life and helped her reconnect with a playful part of herself that had been long forgotten.
Rediscover What Actually Matters to You
With reflection, I’ve realized that what lights me up now is exactly what I loved to do as a child. When I was 9-11 years old, I loved to exercise and invent games in the playground.
I loved to create fun experiences for my friends, explore new ideas, and put my brain to the test.
At school, I was fascinated by science and spent hours doing home science experiments. But by the time I reached university, I felt like I was slipping off my path.
That was how I managed to escape, to travel, and to live with juggling as my art. I had no idea where it would take me, but it felt great, and I found my way back to what truly mattered.
Now, what’s most important to me is being able to move my body, practice yoga and qi gong, and help others find their playful path. 🧘♂️💖
This connection to play, movement, and creativity is at the heart of everything I do.
