💖 START HERE - WELCOME

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 🍂🎉)
