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. 🎙✨

After months away from the mic, I’m back with a bold new direction for the Say It Out Loud podcast. In this episode, I share where I’ve been, why I took a break, and what’s next for the podcast. I’m also introducing the new format—three bold, direct, and polarizing questions designed to spark raw and meaningful conversations. To kick things off, I’m answering these questions myself, sharing truths I’ve been avoiding, beliefs others might not agree with, and how I’m stepping into a fear-free mindset.

If you’re ready to start showing up unapologetically, I’ve also got an exciting announcement: my Out Loud and On Camera Visibility Reset is launching soon! It’s a 4-week experience designed to help you find your voice, get comfortable on camera, and show up with confidence in your life and business.

This episode is about owning your voice, speaking your truth, and taking up space. Are you ready to say it out loud? Tune in and let’s get started!

Let’s be real: Are you truly living as your authentic self, or are you hiding behind expectations, fear of judgment, and self-doubt? In this episode, I’m delivering some tough love and diving deep into the brutal truth about why you’re not living the life you deserve.

I’ll break down the subtle ways we sabotage our authenticity by staying stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, and silencing our inner voice. From the fear of rejection to the lies we tell ourselves, this episode will challenge you to get honest about the blocks keeping you from living fully as you.

I’ll also share practical steps you can take to start reclaiming your power, trusting your intuition, and expressing your truth unapologetically. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you’re living for someone else’s expectations, this episode is your wake-up call.

Get ready to take off the mask and step into your true, authentic self.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “I’m not good enough” or “I can’t do this,” it’s time to flip the script.

Being called selfish doesn't feel good. And, there is power in being selfish. Now before you go ahead and judge what I'm saying, listen to the episode. If you are distracted by an ex-boyfriend, avoidant husband or current partner. and spend 99.9% of your time focused on giving to others (all while ignoring your needs, dreams, and ideas), this episode is for you. Being selfless isn't a badge of honor. In fact, it's the reason why all of your goals have been put on the back-burner. I'm especially talking the women out there who are waiting around for him to "pick" you, love you, and see you. And for what? Can you honestly say that even if he were to "choose you," you would be fulfilled? You and I both know that you're chasing. That you're acting desperate. And that you are wasting your time, energy, and effort on the wrong thing. Your worth is not determined by someone else. Today's solo episode is an an invitation and a call to action for women who are sick and tired of waiting to be picked. It's time you pick yourself. It's time you start that podcast, start that business, leave that job, write that book, work on YOU. Because ultimately, you are the most important project. Raise your standards. Level up.
