E 97: Is Your Creativity...Healthy? Here’s Why It Matters

When was the last time you felt fully alive in your creativity — not pushing, not producing, just creating because it makes you feel whole?

In this reflective solo episode, Beth Buffington explores the often-overlooked idea of creative health — how your creative energy is as essential to your wellbeing as movement, sleep, or nutrition.

You’ll discover how burnout begins when your creativity goes untended — and how simple creative rituals can help you restore your balance, mood, and motivation.

You’ll learn how to listen to what your creativity needs, how to keep your inner artist strong through life’s ups and downs, and why caring for your creative self might be the most powerful act of resilience you can practice.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
• Why creative health is just as vital as your physical and emotional health
• How to spot the early signs of creative depletion before burnout hits
• The link between creativity, your nervous system, and emotional recovery
• Easy, everyday ways to refill your creative energy (no big projects required)
• How the three "C's" — Core Care, Creative Care, and Community Care — build lasting resilience
• Why tending to your creativity creates strength that carries into every part of life
• How to join the Sylva Solace 2026 Creative Resilience Retreat waitlist

💬 Beth says:
“When your creativity is healthy, everything else in your life gets stronger — your energy, your hope, your joy.”
