Summary

If you resonate with the struggles of procrastination, perfectionism, imposter syndrome or burnout then this conversation will be extremely beneficial. Caggie is joined by Aime McNee, a creative coach and fiction author. In this episode they explore the beauty and vulnerability of ‘the creative’; the loneliness of committing to creativity, the shame and comparison creatives often face when straying away from the conventional 9-5 career and the liberation of choosing ourselves and our own path. Aime and Caggie discuss the many ways we often grapple with the dialogue of our inner critic and unpack the topic of ego, how individuals will often unknowingly cultivate a fear of success which is just as persuasive as our fear of failure.  Even if you are not creative in your career, many of us have that inner critic which makes us doubt ourselves and stops us from going after our aspirations and goals. Aime shares her own experience with this and the tools she utilises to unlock the power to silence that voice in our head that says we are not worthy. --- Follow or subscribe to "Saturn Returns" for future episodes, where we explore the transformative impact of Saturn's return with inspiring guests and thought-provoking discussions.

Hello everyone and welcome to Saturn Returns with me Kaggy Dunlop. This is a

confusion and doubt.

Today I am joined by Amy Mcnee.

I discovered Amy on Instagram

through my wonderful friend Africa Brook and it kind of arrived or

0:27.4

Amy's work arrived at a time in my life where to kind of add a bit more of a personal take I have been doing a creative project

0:38.7

that I haven't been really speaking about it's a music project which might surprise many of you and I've always really struggled

0:46.2

with putting myself out there in that aspect of sharing myself and that sort of having that creative expression.

0:55.0

And so when I discovered Amy's work I was instantly drawn to it.

1:01.0

Now Amy is a fiction author. She is also a creative coach and she puts a lot of stuff out on Instagram that really speaks to the creative and the creative process about how we struggle with things

1:16.2

and these internal dialogues that go on. So when I spoke to her it was a bit like

1:25.9

as often these episodes are a bit of a therapy session because it was exactly what I needed she called me out on a lot of stuff

1:30.4

so my point is the importance of the creative self I've realized is so

1:36.7

intertwined with our spiritual practice. I almost view these things as one of the same.

1:41.4

It's also my belief that we all have creativity and when

1:46.3

we're young when we're children we are very free and our expression of that. We don't fear

1:51.6

judgment or ridicule. We are we're just playful we're

creative we're using our imagination all the time and then it kind of gets beaten

2:01.6

out of us as we go into school and a more linear

2:05.2

traditional way of thinking and it's more academic and unless it actually becomes
