About this episode
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:
🎨 The emotional rollercoaster of visibility as an artist and why sharing your work can feel both exhilarating and terrifying.
🚪 How to keep creating in the face of rejection and not let external validation dictate your artistic expression.
🧘♀️ Self-soothing practices for those extra vulnerable moments when putting your work out into the world feels overwhelming.
If you’ve ever struggled with the fear of being truly seen, questioned your creative worth, or needed permission to take up space as an artist—this conversation is for you.
Tune in, and let’s talk about what it really takes to show up and share your art. 🎙✨
