Meet Arella Devorah

 

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Arella Devorah. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Arella, so great to have you on the platform. There’s so much we want to ask you, but let’s start with the topic of self-care. Do you do anything for self-care and if so, do you think it’s had a meaningful impact on your effectiveness?

Reading The Artist’s Way introduced me to the concept of artist dates, solo outings meant to inspire creativity and nurture the imagination. Each week, I take myself on an experience that sparks joy—whether it’s wandering through a museum, discovering a new café, or watching a film that moves me.

These moments of exploration help me reconnect with my creative core. They feel like refilling a well—immersing myself in beauty and inspiration leaves me feeling more energized, present, and in tune with myself.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself? Are there any recent projects you are working on?

I recently posted a raw version of my cover of California Dreamin’ on my IG. It’s a reimagining with a rich, cinematic feel, where I infused the song with a haunting, atmospheric quality to give it a deep, emotional edge. The arrangement carries a moody, introspective tone, blending vulnerability with strength, creating a sound that’s both nostalgic and immersive.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back, the three most impactful qualities in my journey have been self-belief, resilience, and the right support system. Self-belief gave me the confidence to trust my vision, even when others didn’t see it. Resilience helped me push through setbacks, turning challenges into growth. And having a strong support system—whether through mentors, creative peers, or even inspiring books—kept me motivated and focused. My advice for those starting out is to stay true to your vision, keep going no matter what, and surround yourself with people and environments that uplift and inspire you.

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?

One of the most powerful lessons from The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest is the idea that your new life will cost you your old one. Growth requires letting go—of habits, attachments, and mindsets that no longer align with who you’re becoming. That really struck me because, as an artist, evolution is everything. You can’t hold onto past versions of yourself and expect to step fully into your potential.

Wiest explains that self-sabotage often feels like comfort because we cling to the familiar, even when it holds us back. True transformation means embracing discomfort, stepping into uncertainty, and trusting that what you’re building is worth what you’re leaving behind. This book made me realize how often we stand in our own way, afraid to release what no longer serves us. But if you want to grow, you have to let go, trust the process, and commit fully to the vision of the life you’re creating—even when it means walking away from what you’ve outgrown.
