Play is as essential as sleep or nutrition for living a vibrant, balanced life!
The Play Reset - 7 Day Challenge
Rediscover Joy, Connection & Vitality Through Play!
When was the last time you felt a moment of pure joy? Like dancing to your favorite song, eyes closed, your body alive with the beat. Or being swept away by a burst of creative energy. Or simply feeling the sunshine on your skin, warm and nourishing, as you walk barefoot on the grass.
Moments like these remind us what it means to feel truly alive. But when life is overwhelming, joy can feel so far away—like something we don’t even notice, let alone make time for. That’s where The Play Reset comes in.
I get it—life is heavy and relentless. But play and joy are vital, and you deserve to experience it! This isn’t about adding to your plate—it’s about carving out small moments to feel alive again.
The Play Reset is an invitation to step into a lighter, more joyful space. To reconnect with the power of play and rediscover the joy that often gets lost in the hustle of adulthood.
This simple, 7-day experience fits easily into your day, with just 10-15 minutes to reconnect with joy and play.
When I began incorporating play into my day to day, it didn’t just make life more enjoyable—it helped me feel alive again!

Why I created The Play Reset
I’m a 43-year-old mum to three incredible kids (aged 14, 12, and 9). We’re a neurodivergent, unschooling family, which naturally lends itself to a playful way of life—but it can also be deeply intense.
In 2016, I discovered Parkour at the age of 35, and it changed my life. I realized how creative, curiosity-led movement could be restorative, empowering, and healing—not just physically but emotionally, too.
Then in 2017, I became a single mum navigating homeschooling, running a business, supporting my kids, and a difficult 7-year divorce and property settlement. At times it was overwhelming, exhausting, and relentless.
Even in those moments of overwhelm and exhaustion, though, joy felt accessible to me—not in grand gestures, but in tiny, unexpected ways. Dancing in the kitchen, balancing on a rail - feeling my feet under me, even sorting lego with my kids.
These micro-moments reminded me that joy doesn’t have to be big or perfect to make a difference. They calmed my nervous system, gave me the strength to keep going, and helped me feel more connected to myself and my kids.
I know that not everyone sees joy as reachable when life is hard. And I know talking about prioritizing play can feel like a privilege. But I believe joy is always there, waiting for us, even in life’s darkest seasons.
That’s why I created The Play Reset—to show you how small, meaningful moments of play can be a lifeline. It’s not about fixing everything or ignoring the weight of life’s challenges. It’s about offering a way to find lightness and connection, no matter where you are.
Because joy isn’t something you have to earn—it’s something we all deserve, even when life feels impossible.
