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. Throughout our conversation, we delve into how creativity can heal both individuals and communities, and the vital role it plays in our overall well-being. 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. Overcoming perfectionism and sharing 'shitty art' can help individuals reclaim their creative power and confidence in their abilities.

Mack McKelvey, Founder and CEO of SalientMG, joins me to explain why "being uncomfortable" has been a great recipe for success throughout her award-winning career in tech and marketing. With remarkable candor, Mack reveals how disruption propelled her from big tech brands like Lucent, Verisign, and British Telecom to the startup world, where she mastered being an "intrapreneur" before launching her own ventures. While I almost give away what my initials (E.B.) stand for, Mack shares the fun but sobering story behind her own name change—and a realization about "what's in a name." It definitely ties in with how it took a name change for this powerful woman, appropriately featured during Women's History Month, to go to game changer.  She ultimately created SalientMG in order to offer "the kind of firm I could never find when I was on the inside"—a company staffed entirely with senior practitioners who understand the daily realities of startup marketing. This same commitment drove yet another one of her startups just last year, but this time in the form of a  community appropriately called "StartUp Marketer," that democratizes access to marketing expertise with everything from templates to live advisors.  As a fellow podcaster (host of "The Cred"), Mack generously shares both professional insights and personal stories—from her surprising celebrity encounters (think Jude Law to Dave Grohl!) to how her move from Manhattan to Vermont during the pandemic influenced her perspective on work and life. Throughout our conversation, Mack emphasizes what she's learned throughout her career: the importance of staying relevant and adapting to change. Read everything! She also emphasizes that successful marketing isn't just about tactics—it's about understanding the people behind every decision and fostering diverse teams to help drive meaningful outcomes. She's an advocate for underrepresented voices and speaks passionately about her mission to create platforms for women, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent and people of color -- evident from her work, for example, with the non-profit, Creative Spirit -- and giving all people more visibility. "I had a real challenge with representation in technology. I felt like there were a lot of people that we weren't hearing from. But man did they have great ideas and I wanted to build a platform or a way to help these folks get out in market in a meaningful way." Whether you're a startup founder, a marketing professional, or simply someone interested in authentic leadership, Mack's journey from "accidental" tech marketer to industry game-changer offers invaluable insights about intention, representation, and the courage to create what doesn't yet exist. Key Moments: 01:29 The Twists and Turns to Tech In Mack's Career Timeline 08:40 The Importance of Names and Intentional Branding 11:04 SalientMG's Mission and How to Deliver Impact 14:52 Challenges and Opportunities in Tech Marketing 21:16 Innovative Tech Companies to Watch 22:55 The Role of Marketers in Adapting to New Technologies 26:08 The StartUp Marketer Initiative: Democratizing Marketing Expertise 29:43 Supporting Creative Spirit and Inclusion Everywhere 36:42 Personal Stories: Celebrity Encounters 42:15 Pro Advice for Aspiring Marketing Leaders Key Links: Connect with Mack: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mackmckelvey/ Salient MG: https://salientmg.com/ StartUp Marketer: https://thestartupmarketer.com/ Connect with E.B.

In this episode, we delve into the theme of reigniting your creative fire through the power of inspirational quotes from renowned writers. We explore how quotes like Emily Dickinson's "I'm nobody. Who are you?" and Mary Oliver's reflective question, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?", can serve as a catalyst for artistic expression and personal reflection. The discussion encourages listeners to embrace the concept of anonymity and the quiet joys of blending into the background. By observing daily life with a fresh perspective, creatives can find unique inspirations for their art. We also touch on the importance of having personal space and resources, as Virginia Woolf highlights, for the fulfillment of one's creative potential. Join us as we celebrate the unnoticed moments and let them fuel our artistic journey.

Sonia C. is sick with covid! What! Between the rain and gloom, she couldn't help but catch the flu. Sonia T. knows her mother. When she is always go, go, go, her spirit will find some painful ways to put her in a timeout and force her to take some much needed rest. Sonia C. is still trying to learn the lesson. It can be so hard to stop when you're in motion.    This week's theme is: The Not-So Glamorous Side to Manifesting.    Highlights: Do you have a strong inner passion to create something? [3:15] What's the difference between a wish vs. a desire? [6:40] How do you know whether something is a true heart's desire? [9:00]  A lot of hard work is what makes something an ‘overnight' success. [15:45] We were born to be creative and to create. [19:15] Sonia T. shares why her alter ego would be a chauffeur. [22:15]  It's okay to not make a choice. It's okay to just ride the ride and not have a plan. [31:25]  Tool of the week. [35:05] Question of the week. [39:25]   Sonia C. talked to three clients recently who each had challenges within themselves about how to express and make time for their inner creative spirit. While listening inbetween the lines, Sonia C. realized that a lot of us want the glamor of the creative spirit without actually taking on the work needed to develop the creative skill. For example, learning to play an instrument well is very glamorous, but it can take years to master. Sonia C. has been guilty of this too with her dreams of being a skilled pianist, and yet only taking one piano lesson.    Sonia C. has written a lot of books, which is why she is qualified to say that writing can be very tedious. It is difficult! However, her passion for teaching is so strong that she shows up even for the not-so-glamorous parts to get it done. It's important to realize the vision you're manifesting will also come with a bit of ditch digging. To cultivate a creative spirit, it's critical that your heart's desire is aligned with the whole process and not just the glamorous parts of it.    Tool of the Week: Enjoy the ride. Stop thinking, and just ride the ride.    Continue on Your Journey:   Question of the Week: I often see a purple dot floating around, is this my spirit?

Phoebe is joined by actor, teacher, and creative mentor Kate Bone, founder of Wonderwell, an interdisciplinary creative studio and community focusing on the intersection of creativity and well-being.  Kate shares her journey through the performing arts and how the need to share creative embodiment in a communal space led to the creation of Wonderwell and the WonderBody Studio. Key moments and takeaways: ✿ “Embodiment practices are things that we do that make us and help us to feel like ourselves” ✿ “We can't just expect ourselves to just keep creating without any input;  we have to keep putting ourselves in places of wonder and awe, openness, expansion. We need to fill the well.”   ✿ Our prevalent culture doesn't encourage creative pursuits, so we have to make space and advocate for ourselves to bring artistic outlets into our lives.   ✿ Art is an abundant market and there's a need for more artists in the world. There's plenty of space and resources for us to choose art as a career.   ✿ On raising our prices when it feels necessary: “You have to ask for what you need and you have to have equal energetic exchange in what you're doing in order to survive as a business.” Follow Kate at @kate___bone and Wonderwell at @wonderwell.creative Go to wonderwellcreative.com to explore the Wonderwell Membership.   The Girl Gang Craft Online Shop is having a sale now thru February 13th!

All children are inherently creative, but somewhere along the way in adulthood we all start to lose a little of the courage and joy that once fueled our creativity. By the time we are in the midst of a professional career, we are often too risk-adverse to take the chances that come with creative expression. But Dr. Jabani Bennett says living a creative life is possible for all of us, and in fact often necessary for success at work. As a self-identified creative, she has taught others to rediscover their joy by looking at life through a creative lens. As a bonus to our chat in this episode, Jabani also shares how her stepfather, Dean Blaine Hudson, expressed his creativity and what his legacy as the Dean of Arts and Sciences at UofL means to all of us today.

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; there is where they should be. Now put foundations under them." Henry David ThoreauGetting into our dream space of visualizing and imagining what we hope to be, do, have, and experience is of utmost importance. It is after all, the birthplace of everything that has ever come to be in our World. It is true of all things that first, it was only just an idea, a vision, a belief that came into being. Believing that we have the capacity for this Creative Spirit and then making a space to explore and play with it can be the difference between remaining stuck in what is and moving into our true heart's desire. On today's Divine Feminine Solo episode, I offer inspiration for embarking on the journey of your creative spirit and setting an intentional time and space to explore your creative abilities.  Wisdom of the Oracle Deck: By Colette Baron Reidhttps://www.hayhouse.com/wisdom-of-the-oracle-divination-cardsJoin the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken
