Advocating for Artists with Tender Ferocity, A Conversation with Amie McNee

Hello Protagonists!

Welcome to another episode of the Creative, Inspired, ALIVE podcast—where we go behind the scenes with the storytellers shaping our culture.

Our next guest, Amie McNee, is a writer, teacher, speaker, and incredible advocate for creativity. Her mission is to dismantle the limiting narrative surrounding creatives so that we may each become the Artists the world needs us to be. She has published three works of historical fiction, and her non-fiction, We Need Your Art, is our September book club pick.

Today, we talk about:

• the insidious problem of perfectionism,

• the abundance of small goals,

• the infinite appetite for art, and

• the glorious importance of choosing yourself, among other delights!

💕, Joanna
