This week I’m talking to Laura Haver. Laura is an expert in play, communication and happiness. She is on a mission to inspire people of all ages around the world to live more playful, vibrant and fulfilling lives. She joyfully shares her expertise as an author, speaker, life coach and mom. Her new book is called Play Together: Games & Activities for the Whole Family to Boost Creativity, Connection & Mindfulness. Laura has been featured on the Today Show, Fox, CBS, Parents, Tennis Channel and more.

Laura’s Book: Play Together: Games & Activities for the Whole Family to Boost Creativity, Connection & Mindfulness is available in paperback and kindle.

She has a gift for listeners: My Playlist Planner, which helps you turn down the overwhelm and turn up your joy.
