If you want to feel better - CREATE! 

Are you feeling exhausted in a way that sleep doesn’t fix?

Are you barely productive, and also feel disconnected, foggy, or burned out?

In this episode of Create Today, Beth explores why creativity isn’t a “nice-to-have,” but a biological need for your brain, nervous system, and emotional wellbeing.

As mentioned: When you're ready for guidance with your creativity!

This episode is a deep exploration of science-backed facts about creativity— as well as an uplifting conversation about how small, everyday creative acts help you feel better — not by fixing you, but by supporting how your brain actually works (for the better!).

You’ll discover:
• Why feeling better is a brain regulation issue, not a personal failure
• How chronic stress reshapes the brain — and why motivation disappears
• What creativity does neurologically to calm the nervous system
• How hands-on creative activities reduce amygdala over-activation
• Why dopamine from creativity is different from dopamine from scrolling
• How creativity supports emotional regulation, resilience, and focus
• Why your brain doesn’t care if you’re “good” at what you create
• The difference between creativity for wellbeing vs. creativity for performance
• Why daily creativity (even a little while) compounds into real change
• How to choose a creative practice that actually helps you feel better

You don’t need talent.

You don’t need more time or money.

You just need permission and commitment.

Creativity isn’t indulgent.

It’s foundational self-care for your brain!
