Welcome to the Almost Grown...Up Summer Series - If you are in the northern hemisphere we are in full-on summer season now and to help boost some playfulness that naturally comes with the longer days and more relaxed schedules I decided this August instead of our usual podcast episodes we are going to have 4 weeks of play projects. Each week I will share a mini-episode that will give you a play project to complete. So we all get to practice being a little more playful every week and see what comes out of it. This is the final week and I can't wait to hear how you have found the challenges. Let me know which has been your favourite.
