In this special episode, I sit down with the brilliant Shana Cleveland, celebrated songwriter, musician, and creative force behind the surf noir band La Luz. We explore Shana’s deeply personal journey, including the creation of her stunning solo album Manzanita and La Luz’s latest record, News of the Universe.

Shana opens up about her artistic process, the meditative power of music, and the lessons she’s learned from facing life’s uncertainties. From her poetic connection to nature to her reflections on love and impermanence, Shana shares how she channels vulnerability into her art to create music that feels both intimate and universal.

We also dive into the themes of Manzanita, an album born out of both hardship and hope, and how it reflects Shana’s commitment to living in love rather than fear. Plus, we chat about the magic of letting go, tapping into creative flow, and finding beauty in the unexpected.

This episode is a heartfelt celebration of creativity, resilience, and connection, perfect as we reflect on the year and look forward to the next.

🎧 Tune in now and let Shana’s story inspire you to embrace the universe and create your own magic.
