As a species, our ability to be creative is one of the things that makes us different. And yet, it can be incredibly difficult to tap into our creativity - between busyness, stress, fear of failure, fear of judgement, and the common misconception that there is such a thing as a “non-creative type,” it takes effort to introduce creativity into our daily lives! Ashleyne talks with Caroline Brookfield, an author and speaker from Alberta, Canada, about the benefits of introducing everyday creativity into your life, and the acronym DANCE for how you can take easy steps to get started!

Here are the resources Caroline mentioned!
