Dare to Disrupt with Zenica Chatman

Ready, Set, Go: Recess Ain’t Just for Kids

Zenica Chatman

Remember recess? Swing sets, jump ropes, and that sweet break from the classroom grind? Turns out, that little slice of joy wasn’t just for kids — it was the original reset button.

In this episode, Zenica shares why recess never stopped being good for us, we just stopped giving ourselves permission to take it. From sharper focus and emotional regulation to stronger connections and movement that feels fun (not forced), you’ll learn how to bring recess back into your life as a grown-woman  and how to use it as an antidote to overwork and burnout.

Whether it’s a walk around the block, a laugh with a friend, or ten minutes to breathe between meetings, your brain, body, and spirit still crave recess. Tune in and take the pop quiz! Email me and let me know which one you're focusing on this week.
