Summary

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.
