Hi everybody so I love this episode of Coaches Corner. I wanted to have

someone on that could talk about the importance of play and connection

because this week's coaching episode with Helen was all about why we don't do the things that

are good for us like our self-care practices, meditation, so on and so forth and a big

reason why is because we need three kinds of connection,

connection with our self, connection with higher power,

and then connection with others.

And when we don't have that soul food, that connection with others,

those self-care practices are even harder because they feel isolating and we want to rebel

when we're unbalanced in any area of our connection.

And as little kids, a big part of our emotional health was playing. and as adults we've gotten really sucky at play.

As adults we've gotten really sucky at play.

We don't play enough and sometimes the way we play is through drinking or eating or watching TV or

video games or those kinds of things but that that very childlike innocent

connection-based fun-based giggle-based play is something that I don't think is stressed enough.

So as I was thinking about who to have on, of course Charlie Hone came to mind.

I got connected with him in Austin and you'll hear a little bit more about his story

when I talked to him but basically he cured his anxiety through connection and play and

now is committed to creating more playful adults.

So listen up as Charlie teaches us the importance of play and connection.

Just a little bit more about him, he is the author of Play It Away, a workaholics

Cure for Anxiety, which was called The Cure to Your Stress by Tony Robbins. Charlie
