Let’s Talk Glimmers! Today’s theme is all about the tiny moments that make you feel alive, playful, and present...the small sparks of joy we often rush past. ✨ This could be... 🍃 Taking the long way home 🎶 Singing in the car ☕️ Savoring your coffee 📚 Reorganizing your favorite shelf 💫 Your Challenge (if you choose to accept it...): - Snap a photo or short video of a playful glimmer... - Share it on your IG stories + tag me @dr.angelynfranks 📸 Everyone who shares before Friday morning at 8 am CST will be entered to win a little Play Week Prize! If you’d rather stay cozy, you can post your glimmer inside our Skool group instead 💖

Today’s session was all about choosing self-care that fits who you are + what you need...not what looks good on paper. 💖 We talked about filtering self-care through your values, capacity, and play personality, + how even small tweaks can make it more energizing and aligned. After you’ve had some time to digest the call or the recording, I’d love you to come back and share in the comments: ✨ What’s one self-care activity you’re realizing might need a reframe? OR one that you’re doing that really feels aligned? Can’t wait to hear your reflections! 💬

Now that you’ve had a little time to explore your Play Personalities, I’d love to hear what you discovered! 💖 Did anything surprise you? Was it hard to narrow down or figure out your type? Or did one or two instantly click + you felt like, “yep — that’s me”? If you’re still exploring, you can: ✨ Use the Play Personality Finder GPT in the Day 1 folder ✨ Or try the Lindsay Braman quiz — it’s in the Outside Resources tab inside the Extras + Goodies folder in the Classroom And if you want to share a little bit more, feel free to add any anchor memories (or photos from them!) below — I’ll add my bus trip photo! 🚎 💫 Can’t wait to see what you found + what memories came up for you. ✨

Hey friends! 💖 I am so excited for tomorrow! If you’re like me, sometimes the day gets away from you — and before you know it, you’ve missed something you really meant to join. I want to help you make sure that doesn’t happen this week. You can add all the Play Week calls to your calendar in one click: 👉 Add all sessions via Google Calendar Or, if you prefer, you can click into the Play Week Calendar tab right here in the community and choose the days you want to add individually. The live calls will always be at 11am CT / 12pm ET, and you'll get reminders 15 minutes before, but having them show up in your calendar helps so much. ✨ Pro tip: if you know there’s a day you can’t attend, still add it! That way you’ll remember to catch the replay — they’ll be uploaded shortly after each call. I can’t wait to see you live (or in the replay)! NOW FOR A FUN QUESTION 👇 How do you keep track of things these days? 🗒️ Paper planner all the way 💻 Digital calendar or app life 🖊️ A mix of both — depends on my mood 🤷‍♀️ No system… just vibes Drop your emoji below — I’m curious which camp we’re in! — Angelyn

Hey Everyone! I'm so so excited you joined PLAY WEEK! If we haven't met yet, I'm Dr. Angelyn Franks, a speech-language pathologist, burnout coach, + mindfulness researcher. My work (and my heart 💖) is all about helping stressed clinicians trade burnout for clarity and alignment — and during Play Week (Oct 6–10), we’ll be using play as the doorway back to energy and joy. A little about me: ✨ Spaciousness, connection, mindfulness, authenticity, + curiosity are my core values 🔬 My SLPD research focused on mindfulness and stress 🏡 I grew up outside of Boston + now live in Arkansas 💖 Mom to Haylee (almost 16!?) and dog-mom to Brody (almost 5!?) When Play Week kicks off, we’ll carve out 30 minutes each day live on Zoom to: 🍁 Understand why play matters in burnout recovery 🍁 Discover your Play Personality 🍁 Build a realistic plan for weaving play into your life Drop a quick intro in the comments ⬇️ ✨ Your name + where you’ll be tuning in from ✨ What you do (SLP, teacher, OT, PT, etc.) ✨ A gif or pic from your favorite childhood game or TV show (The nostalgia is totally on theme for PLAY WEEK 🍂🎉)
