Art of Joyful Living with Aurélie Harp
<p>It’s a crazy world but we’re all living in it and making time for play has never been so important to our well being as it is in these middle years.

Aurélie shares her journey of starting her coaching and consulting company and how she observed division and labels in society. She emphasizes the power of play in bringing joy and reclaiming agency in life. She encourages individuals to step out of societal expectations and explore the possibilities. Aurélie also highlights the transformative nature of play and the benefits it brings to adulthood and discusses cultural differences in play and lifestyle.
