When I was going through that (creatively), I picked up the book "Range" by David Epstein, and it really helped me let go of that "need to just be one thing" mindset.

For 57 years I was "given" permission. Now, I am giving permission to myself. It took me this long, ding it. Your words deeply resonate with me - thank you!
