Season 1. Episode 3.

A conversation with Ahna Ell.

How do artists deal with self-doubt? How does an artist make space for creativity? What does it mean to build a creative life, even if you work a non-creative day job?

Today’s guest is Ahna Ell—an author and musician based in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. After a decade of writing, recording, and touring the country, she just released her debut book, Everywhere I Go, a memoir about coming home to yourself, living in community, and finding your place in the world.

In my conversation with Ahna, she shares about her life—from her early days of getting her first guitar, to the decade of her adult life spent touring as a musician.

But while creativity was present in her life from a young age, Ahna’s path wasn’t always clear or easy. In this episode, Ahna shares about her struggle with self-doubt, the challenge of making space for creativity to happen, and the years spent writing and refining her debut book.
