I Love Learning Podcast, S2 EP12: Connie Miller, Founder of Happy Nest Coaching

We move so fast throughout the day we typically forget a few things, so Connie Miller reminds us to play!

When we engage in play, we tap into our truest selves–finding joy and meaning in moments we might otherwise overlook. By embracing the spirit of play, we open doors to deeper understanding, richer relationships, and a more balanced life.
