## Resource

Years ago, Beth thought she'd lost her creativity for good. She was doing the job she'd always dreamed of, but somewhere between the grind of deadlines and hustle, her joy disappeared. In this episode, Beth shares the personal story behind her Going FourWords™ Framework. The four-word creative wellness practice she built to find the way back to her creativity. Listen in as she explains why every one of these four words works better with guidance. Inside this episode you’ll discover: • How to read your creative energy so REVIVE isn't a one-size-fits-all fix • Why REALIZE is about waking back up from autopilot • What actually gets you unstuck in the REFINE stage when a dozen projects are half-finished • How RELEASE teaches you how to let go of things that are holding you back Beth also opens the doors to the Going FourWords™ Membership Her low-cost, judgment-free space to practice these four words with real guidance with the extra benefit of a creative community behind you. Your first month is just $1, then $9 a month after that.
