It allows you to go back, and you're always learning something from whatever it's happened to you. So it's an encouraging thing to know that you can go back and it's still there for you."</blockquote><blockquote>"My creativity isn't just something I do for a living. It's something I do to stay alive. It helps me keep my head on straight. It helps me solve problems."</blockquote><blockquote>"We have such an epidemic of mental crisis in our world, and so much of that is because we don't pay attention to ourselves as much as we could or should. Creativity is free. It doesn't involve any medication, it doesn't involve trips to the doctor."</blockquote><h2>Connect with Beth</h2>LinkedIn - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bbbuffington/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/bbbuffington/</a>Instagram – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/b.b.buffington_celebratetoday/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/b.b.buffington_celebratetoday/?hl=en</a>Facebook – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BDIcreatetoday" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/BDIcreatetoday</a><h2>Resources Mentioned</h2>Cody Burch's Email School - <a href="https://codyburch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://codyburch.com/</a> Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Anxiety-Curiosity-Creativity-Finding/dp/0593656385" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Anxiety-Curiosity-Creativity-Finding/dp/0593656385</a>Podcast Junkies Website: <a href="https://www.podcastjunkies.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">podcastjunkies.com</a>Podcast Junkies YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/</a>Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/</a>Podcast Junkies Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkies</a>Podcast Junkies Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/podcast_junkies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/podcast_junkies</a>Podcast Junkies LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkies</a>The Podosphere: <a href="https://www.thepodosphere.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thepodosphere.com/</a>Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: <a href="https://podcastindex.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcastindex.org/</a>🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by&nbsp;<a href="https://fullcast.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FullCast</a>
