In this episode, I’m joined by Amie McNee, author, speaker, and podcaster whose love letters to creators have inspired a global community of artists. Amie’s mission is radical: to dismantle the limiting narratives that keep us from making the work only we can create.
Together, we explore the tender and challenging parts of the creative life: learning to honour where we are in the process (even when it feels uncomfortable) and embracing vulnerability as a vital part of art-making. We also discuss what it means to claim authority in our own lives as artists, and why that act is both personal and revolutionary.
Our conversation moves into her latest book, We Need Your Art, a powerful manifesto inviting us to reclaim creativity as an essential, transformative, and deeply human responsibility.
