Summary
Girl, you're not lazy and you're not broken, you're overworked and underplayed . In this episode, I satt down with Piera Gelardi, co-founder of Refinery29, creator of 29Rooms, and author of the brand-new book The Playful Way , for a conversation that cracked something wide open in me. Piera built one of the most iconic women's media brands of all time and sold it for over $400 million… then found herself sobbing on her apartment floor at what looked like the peak of her career. Why? She'd zipped herself into a "serious suit" and packed away the playful, curious, creative parts of herself to be taken seriously. Sound familiar, y'all? So many of us do the exact same thing with our healing, we turn self-love into one more job. Inside the Episode: Why "overworked and underplayed" may be the real reason you feel stuck, brittle, and disconnected How Piera used play to move through grief, anxiety, and panic (yes, "grief karaoke") Tiny practices, flash expression, the "wonder wander," the shake break, to bring play and self-love back into your everyday relationships Ready to stop white-knuckling your way toward love?
