## Resource

This week on Paige’s Pod, I’m joined by artist and entrepreneur Forrest Elliot for a deeply real conversation about creativity, reinvention, and building a life that actually feels aligned. We talk about everything from art school and career pivots to treating art like a business, trusting your gut, and learning how to become a friend to yourself. Forrest shares his journey from photography to painting, launching multiple creative ventures, and creating intentional spaces - like his upcoming retreat that help people reconnect with themselves and their creativity. If you’ve ever felt stuck, boxed in, or unsure what’s next…this one’s for you. We get into: Creative pivots + starting over Art as a business (without losing the soul) Confidence, healing, and identity Community + connection Taking risks and trusting your intuition Main takeaway: Burn the box. Do the thing. https://www.forrestelliott.com https://www.instagram.com/forrestkelliott Read Paige's substack article HERE
