## Resource

When was the last time you were with people who genuinely “get you”? Not acquaintances. Not coworkers you nod to in the hallway. Your people. The ones who have a similar passion, who can laugh with you. Who can cry with you…when needed. If it's been a while, something important has been quietly draining out of you. And this episode is your wake-up call. This week in Create-Today , we explore why community isn't a luxury you earn when the to-do list clears. It's a biological need. The research is remarkable. You’ll discover the science of what actually happens inside your body when you're with your people versus when you're running on empty and going it alone. You’ll see… through the Going FourWords™ framework , how community feeds every stage of your creative life, from reviving your depleted energy to finding the courage to finally release your gifts into the world. Here's what you’ll love in this episode: Why community is as important to your health as anything else you do for your body The longest-running happiness study in history and what it found after 85 years of data How shared-passion community is different from community by proximity (and why it changes everything) The Going FourWords framework: Revive, Realize, Refine, Release and how each phase is strengthened by being with YOUR people Why your creativity is your compass to finding the community you need right now Beth's personal stories from the Create Today Membership, Sylva Sessions, Sylva Solace retreats, and a four-day bike tour on the GAP Trail The dare Beth has for you this week LINKS AND RESOURCES: Create Today Membership: https://www.bdi-create.today/membership_coaching Join Beth's email list (for info about the new community coming in July): https://www.bdi-create.today/ Discover the offering…
