Customer Reviews
Great conversations!
I’ve been loving this podcast. So many great conversations about art, creativity, process and of course, play. Very helpful to hear more about this topic, which kids intuitively know about and somehow we adults can lose in the midst of all the “life-gunk”, if we’re not intentional. I’d recommend to artists/creatives, but also anyone who wants to find more joy and fun in their every day lives.
Wonderfully funny and candid!
This is a podcast we all need! I love Kathy’s lightness and humor which makes it so easy to allow yourself to play more!!! I can’t wait for her next shows, a breathe of fun air!!
Just the permission you were looking for
Kathy has a way of encouraging people to do what they were destined to do - to give us all that little nudge that it is okay to play! Her interviews, minisodes and “play makeovers” will leave you feeling fabulous. I especially love the one with Cap’N Jack (her cat) and the little meows and bird chirps they recorded together in nature. She is a talented story teller and has a way of using her talent to take her listeners to the root of what really matters, and what we all really need: “permission to play!!”
