Now, let’s get back to Beth’s spotlight:

Who are you and what do you do?

I’m a keynote speaker and artist who believes we are all made for joy. Through keynotes, breakouts, and community events, I teach people how to regulate their nervous systems, navigate change, and unlock lasting fulfillment.

What’s something we don’t know about you?

In 2013, I painted a mural for Mending Hearts that became a centerpiece of their campus. This passion project is an example of my mission in action: using art to connect and heal communities.

What inspires or motivates you to get out of bed?

The opportunity to create experiences that bring others—and myself—more joy. I believe we’re all made for joy, and helping others discover that truth motivates me daily.

What is one thing you can’t live without?

Being near water. Whether it’s a lake, river, or ocean, water is where I find my peace, clarity, and sense of belonging.

Where do your brightest ideas come from?

They always seem to flow when I’m immersed in nature. There’s something about stillness—whether I’m hiking or just sitting by the water—that clears my mind and lets the creative sparks fly.

How do you spark your creativity when you’re feeling in a rut?

I shift gears and do something tactile, like painting or rearranging a space. Getting out of my head and into a playful, hands-on activity reminds me that creativity isn’t about perfection—it’s about curiosity.

Where is your favorite place to decompress & unwind?

Anywhere on the water. It’s where I feel the most grounded and free, especially when I can kayak or just sit quietly and listen to the sounds of nature.

When do you feel your best, and what do you do to stay in good vibrations?

I feel my best when I’m connected to a sense of purpose and fully present in the moment. Practices like journaling, deep breathing, and prioritizing rest help me stay grounded and in tune with myself.

Why did you choose Ampersand Studios as your workspace?

I chose Ampersand Studios because it’s not just a workspace—it’s a community. Being surrounded by other creatives and professionals fuels my energy and opens doors for meaningful collaboration.

Where can our community connect with you?

You can find me at http://bethinglish.com and on social media at @bethinglish. I love connecting with people who are passionate about creativity, emotional wellness, and building a fulfilling life.
