Yliana Paolini is a constant doubter, doubting from herself to the universe itself. She is an artist from Luxembourg who likes to create, but doesn’t see herself as a GREAT artist, just somebody who is willing to go beyond her comfortable zone to get more of what she loves, which is passion itself.

In this episode, Yliana discusses:
-How doubt is something that is prevalent with creative people and how it never seems to go away.
-A bit of history in her tattooing career and why she decided to go into music.
-How her tattoos are for pleasing other people, but her art and music is for pleasing herself.
-How she feels after just releasing her first EP.
-How she had to find a balance between the tattoo artistry and the music.
-Her advice for anyone who already defines themselves in one particular field of art or creativity that is thinking about trying a completely different form of art.
-How the main thing that held her back and still does to some extent is her ignorance in knowing what she wanted.
-How her ego held her back from pursuing music because of the imagined limitations it placed on her.
-The fear that people have to jump into something unknown, but how we should all do it anyway.
-How simply thinking positively isn't enough -- you have to take action.
-Working on and mastering her EP with a Grammy winner.
-How doing art and tattooing gives her balance and a form of meditation, which leads to peace of mind.
Yliana's Final Push will inspire you to understand that it is YOU who decides what to do with your life.
