Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“When we are constantly functioning in fight-or-flight, we can't even sit down to take a deep breath, to calm our minds, to even read a book, to get engrossed in a book, and to get engrossed in somebody else's fairy tale. Then, we are to sit and be creative on our own and sit down and start writing our damn book?”
