About this episode

This episode features Adriane Thompson discussing the importance of intentional play in parenting and rebuilding connections after burnout.

After walking through burnout, reset, and spiritual renewal in our series “When the Whole House Feels Heavy,” we wanted to end with something practical, life-giving, and full of joy. In this episode, we’re joined by Adrian from Raising Kids with Purpose, where she helps parents connect with their children through intentional play. Because sometimes the reset our homes need isn’t another system… it’s connection. In this conversation, we talk about: • Why play is essential for connection, not just entertainment • How play can shift the atmosphere of your home • Simple ways to connect with your kids without adding pressure • What to do when you feel too tired or overwhelmed to engage • How intentional play helps rebuild relationships after burnout If your home has felt tense, disconnected, or heavy, this episode will remind you that joy and connection are still possible—and often simpler than we think.
