In this deeply moving and rebellious episode, Alison chats with Amie McNee, author of the book "We Need Your Art".

Together they explore what it means to reclaim your energy, your identity, and your art — even when life is full, overwhelming, or uninspiring. Amie, a fierce champion of everyday creativity, challenges the cultural narratives that tell us we have to overwork to be worthy or achieve success to be seen as "real" artists.

She talks about giving yourself permission to be mediocre at the things that drain you, and extraordinary at the things that light you up. This is an invitation to quietly — but powerfully — remember who you are. Whether you call yourself an artist, creator, or something else entirely, this episode is your reminder that your calling has not left you. It's waiting patiently.
