"Play can bring back the excitement and newness to our jobs. It helps us deal with difficulties, provides a sense of expansiveness, promotes mastery of our craft and is an essential part of the creative process. In the long run, work does not work without play." Dr. Stuart Brown, Founder of the National Institute for Play

One thing we see on repeat? Women coming into The Thread as strangers and leaving with authentic, life-giving friendships! Making friends at this stage of life can be a challenge. You may not have as much in common with your friends from school as you used to. Your neighbors may be great humans, but they don’t always feel like “your people”. Work friends give you life, but you also need some space away from everything that comes with work friendships. Many women come to The Thread to find their people. If you’re in a season of craving deeper connection with women who get you, we would love to hear from you. Check out the link in our bio for information on Cohort Eight!

We’ve all heard the motto “Work Hard, Play Hard”...but for many of us, we have the “work hard” part down, but playing feels foreign. PLAY is important! Five of our cohort members (and alum) tell us why: “It’s very important to me to remain an active, healthy mom for my family. I knew I needed to do something intentional to offset the stress and mental load of my career. I also needed to invest in my physical health.” - Raechel Peters “Having a hobby has also challenged me in ways that I might not get at work or as a mother. I’ve planted a lot of seeds and sometimes the end result is not what I wanted but it’s a journey and a learning experience.” - Tawny Vo “It's so easy to get caught up in the "busy" of life — work, kids, life. For me, this hobby is how I pour into myself, how I refill my cup, and how I prioritize myself among the hustle-and-bustle of this stage.” - Beth Grimmett “I love having things to look forward to and concerts are such an easy date night. Or a fun excuse to travel!” - Brittany Engle “When most of life is tied to a device, getting out in nature for me is the greatest feeling. I may be sleeping with the wildlife, but I love that there are no schedules, no screens and no reason to shower (which is why you always plan around a water feature.) - Jordan Walker What is the way YOU plan to play this summer? Any unique hobbies? Share with us in the comments!

Our favorite quote from last week’s Womens Leadership Breakfast with BlueCross and BlueShield KS came from Sheree Utash: “Women are great disrupters.” We couldn’t agree more, Sheree. Thanks to Ari Gross and the BCBS team for a beautiful morning!

We talk a lot about values as a team and within our cohorts at The Thread. Values are what is important to uniquely you…not the world or your neighbor or parents…but YOU. It’s important to take the time to know what’s important to you in this season! One tool we picked up from our last alumnae workshop with Haley Prophet was the idea of making sure your values have a place on your calendar. For example, is growth one of your top two values right now? If so, how are you planning to create an environment for growth in the next two weeks? Are you meeting with a coach? Taking on a challenging project that will stretch your skills? Implementing a new habit that will support the type of person you want to become?
