Ep 793 Why Everything Starts Feeling Hard & Heavy: The Play Solution w/ Co-Founder of Refinery29 & Author Piera Gelardi

Feeling exhausted, mentally blocked, emotionally disconnected, uninspired, or burned out from constantly being “on”?

In this deeply powerful episode, Tiffany sits down with Piera Gelardi, co-founder of Refinery29, author of The Playful Way, and creator of the NoomaLooma app, to explore why so many ambitious adults lose touch with play, creativity, joy, imagination, and emotional freedom — and how that disconnect impacts everything from mental health and nervous system regulation to abundance, relationships, creativity, business success, and overall fulfillment.

This conversation dives into the psychology of burnout, high-functioning anxiety, over-productivity, entrepreneurship pressure, and the emotional cost of constantly operating in survival mode.

If you’ve been searching for how to feel inspired again, how to reconnect with yourself, how to stop feeling emotionally numb, how to get out of burnout, or why success still feels heavy even after accomplishing so much… this episode is going to hit deeply.
