Perfectionism. It showed up in my life as Procrastination. When we are able to let go of the outcome and take life One Day at a Time, we will live the playful life.

Are you an over-people-pleaser? I sure am! And I'm in recovery to discover a better way. In this episode, I reveal my tendency to people please and how that affects my health. How does your people pleasing affect your health and wellness? Let's dive in on this episode of The Playful Life.

When I thought about what "playfulness" means to me, I realized I wasn't quite living the playful life. Getting stuck in perfection, putting too many expectations on myself. Why did I set so many rules about what this podcast should be? I'm committed to living the Playful philosophy in my life, especially as a new mom.

On The Playful Life today, Daniel Wilgenbusch of Vivall Group joins us to talk about taking action, even when it might scare you. How to put your pride aside and go after what you really want.    Daniel Wilgenbusch has spent the last decade operating with an obsession for developing people — what he calls “Building Champions.” It all began with his first business that he dropped out of college to scale and grow. That introduction to entrepreneurship and later successes ultimately set the stage for his present partnership as a Strategist with the founder of Vīvall Group — a consulting agency focused on bridging the gap between vision and reality for leaders and organizations. He also currently runs an online health & wellness brand and is a featured teacher and speaker for organizations and events across the country.   https://www.instagram.com/danielwilgenbusch/  https://www.instagram.com/vivallgroup/ https://www.vivallgroup.com/

Kevin Harper joins me on the Playful Life and I honestly feel this is one of the best discussions I've had about playfulness. He is the President and CEO of Food On The Move in Tulsa, OK. The organization was founded by local Tulsa artist Taylor Hanson of the band Hanson. Food On The Move is an innovative mobile food initiative that has been working to end food deserts since 2014 through mobile food events and a long-term strategy to foster the return of permanent grocery stores and healthy food systems. The monthly program events bring together a diverse group of mobile partners in non-profit, for-profit, and government to host ongoing pay-as-you-can events that offer fresh produce, prepared meals, and access to community and health resources. Kevin helps FOTM focused on ending food insecurity one community at a time through food distribution, educational programs, workforce development, health assessments, and innovative solutions. He shares about his life's journey from being a pastor, to serving the marginalized in Africa, to landing in middle America.  His story and his vision are sure to inspire you to take action in your own community. I guarantee you will walk away from this podcast with motivation, hope and a new perspective on what it means to live The Playful Life.  Movers and Shakers Podcast     https://www.foodonthemoveok.com/podcast Instagram    https://www.instagram.com/foodonthemoveok

Whether you are parent, a teacher, an auntie like me.... or someone who is in any kind of interpersonal relationship - pretty much everyone - you can benefit from the skills Rachel Kurian talks about in this episode!  I learned a lot about to evaluating me feelings, responding with respect and communicating consequences instead of punishment.    Rachel is a parenting coach. She works with families of little ones on a process for firm but kind parenting in all situations. Rachel takes her clients  through a process to have strategies and a plan for when things come up. You can move away from being stressed and overwhelmed to being more connected with your kids and love parenting again.   The practical problem Rachel solves is to provide support and guidance for parents to help them be confident, consistent and love parenting again.    The emotional problem is to help them improve the quality of life for themselves and their families, better relationships, and kids who are able to navigate this world and make it better when they're tomorrow's leaders.
