Ep. 145 - Remembering to Play with the Comic Coach, Em Stroud

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

Please join us for this lighthearted and fun conversation with The Comic Coach, Em Stroud.  Em is Leadership and Business Coach, a podcaster, an author, and a theatre and comedy show performer who is premiering her one woman show in London's West End in December of 2024 before a UK tour in 2025.  Em and I spoke about the importance of play and fun.  We forget how to play as adults, but Em shares a story of her son and his reminders to play daily were a wake up call for her.   

This is one of my favourite conversations of the year!  I learned so much about myself and my methods of play through the eyes of Em (and her swell play permissions!)  Tune in to learn about that for yourself.  How DO you play?  Em shares the 12 ways we play as humans and how you can find freedom and recognition in how you already play (even if you don't think you do!). Wise, funny and full of useful info, you will enjoy this episode as much as I did.  🩵 You can find out more about Em Stroud on her website - emstroud.com.  Follow Em on Instagram here.
