Ep. 37: Finding Joy in Play: Combatting Stress and Burnout with Monica Healer

Today, there is no special guest, all you have is me, Monica Healer, your host. Today, we're discussing the importance of play for adults by prioritizing activities that bring joy. I know the realities of stress and burnout that many early childhood leaders and teachers experience are real. This is why engaging in activities that stimulate creativity and improve brain functionality is so important. In this episode, we'll discuss activities that we can do to alleviate stress, such as reading for pleasure, playing games, practicing a musical instrument, or spending quality time with family. We will also talk about the negative impact of social media and how it impacts our joy. But of course, the Bible points us to where true joy comes from–the Lord.  A resource on this topic can be found in our Course Library, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"!
