HEY THERE!

Welcome to the page where you discover your next event speaker and collaboration partner!

Keep scrolling to see our magic 👇

We fancy ourselves a bit of mind readers, so let's see if we can predict why you’re here. You stumbled upon this page because...

…You’re researching speakers for an event and want someone inspiring, insightful, and interesting.

…Your people crave new ways of thinking about health, wellness, and community—and love how new concepts tickle their brains.

…You’ve worked with mindfulness and wellness speakers before and want something MORE, (but also not something that’s the same as last time).

…You’re intrigued by play (and think your people would be too) but you don’t actually know what it means or what you’re asking for.

You’ve come to the right place.

At The Playful Revolution, we partner with organizations and teams of all sizes to create meaningful and joyful events, engaging workshops, and insightful speaking engagements.

At The Playful Revolution, we LOVE being in playful community with you.

As speakers, we reorient participants to their joy through the portal of play. Whether a small group of 5 employees or a large gathering of 100+, we tailor the play experience to enliven and educate your people.

Play is not an action, it’s an internal experience and portal to embodied joy. But when done in a community, it has the power to

Drive transformational change…like when we taught 100 mental health clinicians how to integrate play into their client treatments.
Deepen relationships…like when we hosted a play session with a fully remote team to help them understand their own play styles as a way to collaborate and bond with one another.
Spark joy…like when we became the play break during a full-day conference, guiding attendees' minds, bodies, and hearts through an interactive and unfortgetable play experience that spread laughter and joy.

Meet the Players

TJ Matton and Bailey Jacobs are the co-founders of The Playful Revolution (you can read our bios here). And while TJ is our main speaker and educator, when you partner with us you get both of our play magic alchemized into one unforgettable experience.

TJ's Play Magic: The Joy Liberator

TJ Matton

TJ’s career as a clinical trauma therapist touches every aspect of her work as a speaker and educator. Her work to incorporate mindful play into healing and mental health has been instrumental in shaping The Playful Revolution’s social justice, relationship-first, choice-driven framework.

When TJ speaks on play, she brings 20 years of experience helping people reconnect to their core humanness, navigate complex trauma, and reorient to their joy. Whether teaching the neuroscience of play or leading a play experience, TJ infuses unbridled curiosity and enthusiasm throughout her speaking engagement as well as a deep gratitude to be sharing the play as a path to liberated joy with the world.

Bailey's Play Magic: The Word Weaver

Bailey Jacobs

Bailey’s play magic lies in her ability to weave words. Scratch that. Not just words, but her ability to craft an experience of engaged learning and expansion through written and visual storytelling. A whizz with a PowerPoint. A dynamo handout builder. A true wordsmith.

While TJ is the speaker, Bailey is the wizard behind the PowerPoint clarifying and amplifying stories that resonate. With a decade of corporate communications experience, Bailey has crafted compelling messages, materials, and presentations on the most boring topics imaginable. And now, she focuses all that magic on empowering people to rediscover their joy through play.

HERE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

More than anything, we want to work with you. We want to collaborate and
co-create with you.

We have a heart for collaboration. Creating and co-creating are at the heart of everything we loves about play work. It’s a delight to create work for you, and with you. Building a bridge between the swirly concepts of playfulness into your world is like is like catnip for us.
