YES! You can listen to the first full lesson for free right here:

Most of the stories and examples you'll hear involve kids ages 2–10, since the playful strategies are especially effective for that stage. That said, the mindset shifts — and many of the strategies themselves — can be adapted for kids of any age!

Think of this as the private Facebook group for Activate Play Mode course participants... except OFF of Facebook! 😉

The community is hosted on the Circle app.

Here we have a "Playful Ideas Vault" - a growing list of possible solutions to different challenges, using the APM strategies, organized by topic (i.e. toothbrushing, transitions, etc.).

I also share easy little weekly play invitations to help keep the spirit of playfulness alive for those who like to have a little nudge.

Each month, I go live and focus on a specific "spotlight strategy" for the month.

Above all, we're here to connect, reflect, and help each other brainstorm playful ideas in a safe space with other parents who have gone through this course and have the shared value of wanting to incorporate more playfulness into their parenting journey.

We share wins and struggles and cheer each other on.

We'd love to have you join us!

I totally get it — this season can feel ridiculously full and chaotic. But here’s the thing I really believe: it’s going by too FAST to afford not to enjoy each other.

If we wait until life feels less busy or overwhelming, we’ll be waiting forever… and we’ll miss the magic happening right now.

This is why I created Activate Play Mode to fit into real-life parenting and help you start enjoying it right away — not to add more pressure.

The course is yours for life (along with all future bonus lessons), and you can listen to it like a podcast, right on your favorite podcast app. No logging in, no sitting down to watch videos — just listen while driving, folding laundry, walking the dog, or hiding in the closet.

You can jump around, listen out of order, and pick what feels most helpful in the moment.

If life feels extra stressful, this is actually the kind of levity, laughter, and connection that helps you breathe again.

You don’t have to do it all at once. Just starting is a HUGE win.

Most parenting courses range from $200 to $500 (or more). Activate Play Mode is intentionally priced lower because I want it to be accessible — without sacrificing depth, creativity, or real-life impact.

For $99, you get lifetime access to the full course plus all future updates and intermittent bonus lessons at no extra cost.

👉 You'll also be granted FREE access to our private community membership, which includes:

• A growing, searchable database of playful solutions for real-life parenting challenges

• Weekly check-ins, community conversations, and direct access to Mia

• Most memberships that offer ongoing access to the course creator and resources like this cost $20–40/month or more. Communities like this are rarely included with course purchase. I made this decision because my ultimate goal is to connect more parents around the world so that they can support each other in this endeavor to be more playful.

I’ve kept this affordable because there is so much power in community; we weren't meant to do this alone.

That said, if you are struggling financially but feel this course would make your life better, I don't want money to be an obstacle.

Please reach out to me directly at mia@playfulheartparenting.com and we will figure it out together!! 💞

Some Play Mode strategies will click right away. Others may take a little experimenting as you discover what fits your child's personality and your own style. That's completely normal.

Because Activate Play Mode includes immediate access to all digital content, purchases are non-refundable.

If now isn't the right time to invest, I'd still love to encourage you through my free Instagram content and weekly emails.
