<p>This episode is a rallying cry for every woman who's ever felt like her creativity didn’t count, who was told she wasn’t “really” an artist, or who’s been quietly hiding her gifts behind perfectionism, comparison, or fear.</p><p>I sat down with the radiant and revolutionary Amie McNee, author of <em>We Need Your Art </em>and we went <em>there</em>. Deep into what it really means to claim your creativity, take up space, and stop waiting for permission to share your art with the world.</p><p>Whether you’ve got a business, a blank notebook, or a childhood dream that never quite died… this conversation will wake up the part of you that knows you’re meant for more.</p><p>We unpacked:</p><p>🎨 Why art isn’t just for “artists”</p><p>🔥 What it looks like to choose yourself before the world chooses you</p><p>👑 Self-coronation and taking your rightful place on your creative throne</p><p>💥 How perfectionism and people-pleasing rob us of our gifts</p><p>💔 The truth about visibility, vulnerability, and showing up messy</p><p>🧠 Why creativity will <em>always</em> force you to confront your inner work</p><p>💗 And how to nurture a mothering voice inside yourself when the inner critic takes over</p><p>AND also:</p><ul><li>The inner critic, and how to mother the voice that says you’re “not enough”</li><li>Why perfectionism, procrastination, and people-pleasing are creative blocks and how to break them</li><li>Why we still crave institutional validation (TEDx, TV, publishing deals) even when we know better</li><li>The power of choosing yourself, before anyone chooses you</li><li>Why creating <em>while in the trenches</em> matters more than waiting to be “ready”</li><li>And why art made from <em>peace</em> is just as potent as art made from pain</li></ul><br/><p>This episode is honest, powerful, and bursting with love for every creator (and secret creator) out there. For every human who’s felt the spark of something inside them, be it writing, dancing, singing, speaking, painting, creating and pushed it down because of fear, shame, or the belief that it “wasn’t for them.”</p><p>If that’s you?
