50: Elle Luna – What It Means To Follow Your MUST

Creativity, Hobbyist, Mindset, Money & Business, Personal Growth, Podcast, Weekend Warrior

Must’ feels like being in love: when you know you just know.

As artists, it is important to allow ourselves the time and the space to create.

This is what artist and author Elle Luna calls play. And where does she play? In the sandbox. Creating a sandbox is key to creating art. Another key is recognizing the difference between “should” and “must.” To create authentically, we need to have the strength to relinquish “should” to make room for the “must.”

I find Elle’s philosophies on art and play fascinating and inspiring, and I can’t wait for you to hear them. She has a toolbox full of ideas and exercises all designed to pull you into your art and creativity.
