Permission to Play Podcast

Permission to Play features intimate conversations with creatives and wellness-focused guests, offering approachable access to individuals with strong storytelling and craft credentials. For PR pros, the show provides opportunities to connect with artists, authors, and performers who can share process, impact, and audience appeal, though booking is relatively accessible rather than top-tier celebrity. Guest slots are available with guests who have credible credentials but are not household names.

Permission to Play is a podcast for creatives and other humans looking to find their lost mojo (or marbles, as the case may be). Together we explore all things helpful for the care and feeding of the creative soul. Each month I'll feature inspiring conversations with interesting and smart people who somehow manage to put their creativity in the world and stay happy and sane doing so. I chat with writers, actors, filmmakers, plant medicine shamans, nervous system experts and all manner of ordinary, extraordinary people. PLUS occasional solo riffs straight from me to you.
