We are often very good at encouraging others and noticing things to admire in the artwork of those around us, but it can be more challenging to offer those same gentle words to ourselves. This week, we will practice finding things to love about our own creations and speaking to ourselves with kindness and generosity.I noticed this when I was sketching with my son. It was easy to find things to love about the work of the other person, but difficult to say these things about our own work. Do you have the same feeling? I would love to know how you respond to this and how you offer gentle encouragement to yourself.On a recent trip to Sydney, I attended a book event by Amie McNee who is an amazing champion of artists.

Creativity is defined as “the ability to use imagination or original ideas to produce something new.”  According to this definition, everyone, including you, has a creative side. We all have vibrant and imaginative minds that can generate fresh and unique ideas.  However, societal beliefs often lead us to think that art is undervalued or inaccessible to most people. To challenge these misconceptions about artistic expression and to create a space where everyone's creativity is celebrated, I've invited Amie McNee.  Amie McNee is an author, speaker, and creative coach. In addition to her historical fiction, she has written four much-loved books, all of which discuss the realities and magic of leading a creative life. Amie is known for speaking, teaching, and coaching artists all over the world and helping them achieve their creative dreams. In this empowering discussion, Amie not only explores the various challenges that creatives encounter, but also offers transformative guidance and mindsets. She encourages you to take your art seriously and reach new heights in your creative journey.

Artist and author Amie McNee says it's shameful that art has been relegated to the kids, the retired, and the wealthy. We discuss her new book, We Need Your Art, an urgent call to dismantle everything we've been told about what art is and who its for. Spoiler alert…it's for you, and you need to hear this.What would your championship meal be? Alex Smyth, Host of AMI's Para Sport Nation poses the question, and gives us the context on when athletes do get to indulge in choosing their championship meals. #accessibility #assistivetech #podcast #disability #blind #accessibilemedia #KellyCo Find Kelly & Company on YouTube!About AMIAMI is a media company that entertains, informs and empowers Canadians with disabilities through three broadcast services — AMI-tv and AMI-audio in English and AMI-télé in French — and streaming platform AMI+.

Amie McNee joins me in the studio to share her insights on the transformative power of creativity and the importance of claiming your artistic voice. Her new book, "We Need Your Art", is a rallying cry for those who feel they aren't "real" artists and encourages everyone to embrace their creative impulses. Amie passionately argues that art is not just for the privileged few; it's an essential part of the human experience that everyone can and should engage in.

If you've ever hesitated to share your art or doubted your creativity, this episode is a must-listen for you—because trust us, we need your art!Takeaways:Everyone should embrace their creativity and express themselves artistically, regardless of their perceived talent. Art is not merely a hobby but a vital part of the human experience that fosters connection and change. The act of creating can be a powerful tool for personal healing and community building, challenging societal norms that dismiss its importance.

In this episode, Amie McNee shares why the world desperately needs your art—and how to overcome the inner obstacles that keep so many creatives from stepping into their full potential. Amie is an author, speaker, creative guide, and founder of the popular Instagram account @InspiredtoWrite. Known for her candid conversations about creativity and self-doubt, Amie has helped artists all over the world reclaim their creative power and build a sustainable, fulfilling practice. She's also the author of We Need Your Art, a manifesto and practical guide for anyone seeking to live a more creative, authentic life. In our conversation, we dive deep into what it means to choose yourself and stop waiting for permission to create. Amie talks about how she rewrote her story as a writer after being rejected by gatekeepers, turning her path around by embracing self-publishing and building a dedicated audience. We explore the tension between external validation and self-empowerment, why tiny steps are the secret to creative success, and the powerful mindset shift that allowed her to fully claim her identity as an artist. Some highlights we explore: The moment Amie realized she didn't need a publisher's permission to call herself an author Why "tiny steps" are more powerful than bursts of inspiration in building a creative habit How relentless vulnerability helped Amie build an engaged online audience over 10 years The unexpected advice Amie received from established authors—and why she ignored it Enjoy!

Being an artist is tough, especially when the world tells you it's not a "real job." Amie McNee knows this struggle all too well. She spent years battling self-doubt, feeling embarrassed about wanting to make art her life. But instead of giving in to fear, she rewrote her story—literally. Through journaling, she found confidence, challenged societal expectations, and built a creative life on her terms. Now, she's inspiring other artists to do the same. Her message? Your art matters, and success is worth preparing for.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of having Amie Mcnee. You may recognize her from her posts with bold hand-written signs on art & creativity, her substack, The Unpublished podcast she hosts with her partner James, and her books - she is a creative coach, writer, author - and I absolutely love her honesty, the sharpness of her words and the fierceness in her encouragement to MAKE ART... We talked about:The mess that comes from saying yes to creation.Why Art is NOT just for children.Failure and how to digest itCreating as an act of liberation, collective change, and personal healing. INVITATIONS: From Amie:

In this episode of Say It Out Loud, I sit down with the incredible Amie McNee—author, creativity mentor, and the force behind her brand new book, We Need Your Art. Amie has spent years demystifying the creative process and helping artists push past self-doubt, and today, we're diving deep into the realities of being seen as a creator.We explore:

In this episode, you'll learn: ·      Why creating is a rebellious act and how to own that power ·      How to ditch the perfectionism that's keeping you stuck ·      The science behind how creativity rewires your brain and changes your body When was the last time someone told you your dreams were too big? Too impractical? Not serious enough? Maybe it wasn't even someone else. Maybe it was that voice in your head telling you to grow up and get real. Let me be real with you. In my twenties, I was that person. The one rolling my eyes at artists and creatives. I thought they were self-indulgent. Like, how are you helping anyone by making a wall look prettier? If you want to make a difference in the world, shouldn't you be solving real problems? The system doesn't tell you that you can't create. That would be too obvious. Instead, it convinces you that you shouldn't even try. Unless you're naturally talented. Unless you can make money from it. Unless you can be the best. I fell for this lie for years. I dismissed art as fluff until I started seeing its real power. Here's what I want you to consider. What if that urge to create isn't just some random impulse? What if it's actually the key to unlocking who you really are? What if art isn't just about pretty pictures, but about transforming lives? Today our guest is Amie McNee. She's a mindset coach and author who helps people break free from the stories keeping them from creating. After transforming her own life through creativity, she's here to spark a revolution and remind us all that our art isn't just important. It's necessary.

In this episode, I share a tool I like to call "Storm Journaling" as an act of radical self-acceptance & unshaming when we experience intense emotional dysregulation. Emotional regulation is a part of our Executive Functioning & has a huge impact on the experience of both ADHD & Autism. I've spent so much of my life trying to "fix" my big emotions, when what I really needed was to learn how to embrace them fully. I hope you enjoy. **Important note**: I don't recommend Storm Journaling as a daily journaling practice. That's a pretty quick ticket to feeling like crap, a lot. This is a tool best-used at your discretion, when you're in an Autistic meltdown/shutdown or you're in full-on ADHD emotional dysregulation, and the thought of doing something to make yourself “feel better” makes you even more upset. This is a sign that we need to lean into feeling our feelings, instead of trying to change them. For more routine journaling, I love Amie McNee's work. You can find her  journaling compendium on her website AmieMcNee.com and get it for free if you sign up for her newsletter. (In no way is this an ad or sponsored in any way—I'm just a huge fan of her work, and this resource is phenomenal).

My guest today is Amie McNee, AKA Inspired to Write, and she has unknowingly played a huge part in giving me the courage to step into my creativity – let me tell you if you need a little boost to keep going, she's your gal. Amie is an author, podcaster, book doula, creative coach and all-round inspiring human, dedicated to supporting creative, artistic souls to step into their magic and create what they want in the world (and yes, if you're thinking it, business is in fact art). In this chat we cover re-writing the stories we tell ourselves that hold us back, rising up from rejection, and creating a path when there isn't anybody to follow. Her commitment to the self-work required on the journey is endlessly inspiring, and I hope that if you've been feeling a little muddled or challenged lately, this chat will give you what you need to just keep going and keep trying in whatever you're creating.   Swear warning – we get sweary – so perhaps not one for the school pick-up, but you do you.

Welcome back to The Writing Apothecary podcast and to our interview with the most divine human ever. I got to interview Amie Mcnee who is the perfect most perfect guest for Writer's Block. It's been a challenge to get here! This episode is so delayed due to me getting the spicy cough and have been dealing with all of the fatigue that comes with it, but we're back and we're ready. In today's chat here are some of the topics we chat about:Writer's BlockProcrastination Amie's relationship with bothJournallingGiving ourselves permission to drop expectationsAnd so much more.This is a chat you don't want to miss and through some technical difficulties, it's come together so well. I really loved this chat so much and secretly or not so secretly was fan girling over this amazing woman. About AmieAmie McNee is an author, creative coach, speaker and podcaster. Amie writes both historical fiction and non fiction books about creativity and living a creative life. Amie helps thousands of creatives all over the world to move through resistance and chase their callings.You can find her here: Website, Twitter, Instagram, Podcast.Grab a copy of her book The Rules Upheld by No One here.Tell me what did you take away from this week's lesson? I'd love to knowAlso, I would really appreciate it if you took the time to rate and review the podcast it helps people find our community and gets the podcast out into the world a little more.Want exclusive behind the scenes and early access to episodes join up to the mailing list over here.If you're looking for a cheerleader for your writing, then head on over to https://dreamingfullyawake.com/work-with-me/ and let's have a chat about how we can work together to get your writing on track. 

In today's episode, I catch up with a fellow creative, author, and good friend of mine Amie McNee @inspiredtowrite for a raw and honest conversation about the comparison. We discuss where and how it shows up in our own lives and businesses and share some tips for overcoming it when it rears its ugly head. Comparison can lead to self-doubt, inaction, and shying away from going after our dreams and goals and can often cause people to quit before they've even started. When we are able to catch it in the moment, silence the inner critic and find healthy ways to combat it before it takes charge we are more likely to keep moving in the direction of our dreams and goals and find ways to collaborate instead of compare.

Amie McNee told us to never hesitate about expressing your art as an artist. Releasing it inevitably creates some sense of relief after the preceding anxiety subsides. Widmark is still an artist despite no recent releases. You can tell by watching him internalize sounds, surroundings, speech, people's behavior etc. There's a backlog of material building up.  Listening to this episode, you can hear in between the words that he stills has a few things to express. He's an undeniable autodidact hustler. Meet him at the top. Listen & share, it's the Brooklyn way! 

Amie McNee is a writer, creativity coach and podcaster. She is a beautiful soul who I have been following on instagram for some time and loving the gentle and profound encouragement she shares in large hand written notes. Amie casts her inner critic as her younger self, mostly a petulant teenager but sometimes a scared, fearful and tantruming child. And she casts the antithesis of this as her inner mother. Her older wiser self, that soothes and mothers her younger persona most often on the pages of her journals where she rewrites any negative language. She literally erases and replaces what is inside her mind, negative to positive, with a pen and paper! It's so, so clever. If you need a creative pep up I highly recommend the It's Time To Write paid podcast for creatives. You can find Amie in these places: Her website - https://www.amiemcnee.com Instagram - @inspiredtowrite Podcasts - It's Time To Write (paid) and Unpublished (free) Thanks for listening! www.darlingmillsstudio.com

The titles of Amie McNee's FOUR books will tell you all you need to know about why she's today's guest on the podcast: We Need Your Art Collection, For the Burnt Out Artist, For the Perfectionist, For the Procrastinator. (Reads kinda like a blessing for the audience of Brian Breaks Character, amiright?)Amie joined me all the way from Sydney, Australia and just like her 89.5K followers on Instagram I instantly fell in love with her incredibly honest & authentic rallying cries for creative people. Amie is an author, speaker, creative coach and a book doula. She teaches a time-tested journaling technique that is designed to help you unlock your creative juju (at the time of our recording she'd been journaling every morning for the last 1,379 days).  She gives us the inside track on WHY we procrastinate on creative endeavors and HOW to overcome it. And best of all, Amie is a fiery ball of enthusiasm & energy – my face still hurts from laughing and smiling for our entire conversation.  She couldn't embody more of what this podcast is all about. P.S. If you journal, or ever tried to journal, or have zero desire to journal but would loooooove all the clarity and confidence that you've heard comes from it, you gotta hear Amie's take on how to do it well so it actually serves you and serves your creativity.

Today's episode is a conversation with the incredible Amie McNee - author, book doula and creativity coach. We talk all about feeling uninspired - all the tried and tested ways to get out of productivity slumps and the ebbs and flows of creativity. We're currently in lockdown again in Sydney which is definitely not the most inspiring place to be but we feel like these periods of feeling uninspired can appear out of nowhere regardless of external circumstances. Amie is one of our favourite people to follow on social media - her account is one of our go-to sources for inspiration and encouragement when we're feeling a bit stagnant so we hope you enjoy our conversation and get something out of it that sparks your inspiration into action again.This episode is also a little different this week because Amie had recorded her own meditation to help with feeling uninspired - it just made sense as her role as a creativity coach and we feel like this is one of our most magical meditations yet. ---Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Amie McNee on IG - @inpiredtowritePlease share this episode with anyone you feel it may benefit,  give us a rating on Apple Podcasts and subscribe to be kept in the loop with new episode releases.

For those of you that have been following along on my journey for a while, you will know that 2020 was one of the biggest years of my life professionally. My business experienced incredible growth, I welcomed so many more members into the Sistahood and I launched my first mastermind to help businesswomen scale their businesses and make huge impact.It has been so rewarding, but now looking back on that I am realising what a crazy time that was and how all of us were set up to fail as far as not taking time to rest, feeling like we needed to hustle to change our business models due to covid and to give as much as we could to our communities who were all needing support. So I did all the things. I got it all done, but by the end of the year I was severely rundown, my immune system was shot, I had a fatty liver and I was wrecked. I vowed that 2021 would be different and then the year started out to be just as crazy if not crazier than 2020. Something needs to give. I am now truly realising and leaning into the fact that I need to slow down. I have been burnt out and it's exhausting. My guest today on the podcast is Amie Mcnee and is the perfect woman to chat to about this topic. This is actually her second time on the podcast too. Amie is a phenomenal writer and you need to go follow her on Instagram. She is so honest, thought-provoking and really honest about what she needs. Amie has written extensively on the topic of burnout and I want you to really take what you can from this episode. Please learn from the experiences that we share today and take a look at how you run your life too.LINKS:Amie's previous episode on The Confidence ChroniclesFor The Burnt Out Artist https://www.amiemcnee.com/shop/p/for-the-burnt-out-artistFor the Procrastinatorhttps://www.amiemcnee.com/shop/p/we-need-your-art-collectionFor the Perfectionisthttps://www.amiemcnee.com/shop/p/we-need-your-art-collectionThe Journaling Course https://www.amiemcnee.com/journaling-courseWHERE TO FIND ERIKA:BUY MY BOOKInstagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.com

Amie McNee has been speaking up about the creative process for years.She's boosted many of us with her gentle-yet-fierce handwritten messages on instagram, where she shares as @inspiredtowrite. I adore Amie's work, and when she put out an episode debunking hustle culture on her podcast, Unpublished, I knew she was a must for this season.Amie and I could have done a whole season rather than just one episode. It was such joy to chat with her about the approach to creativity we both promote, that of taking smaller steps more regularly. Being kind with yourself and not asking so much that you feel doomed to fail. Her approach is to believe success is not only permitted, but inevitable if you keep moving forward.We also look at the importance of journaling, something she has used to transform her entire relationship to creativity, letting go of stories that told her that her dreams weren't possible. This episode is a huge shot of motivation, but on your own terms.Have been busting to share this ever since we recorded.
