Painting Your Path
If you’ve asked yourself “Am I living the life I want to live or have I been living for someone else?” Maybe you’re 40+ and asking: “What do I really want to do when I grow up?” If so, this podcast is for you. It’s time for you to do the thing you’ve been waiting to do but maybe didn’t think it was possible. Here’s what I know: You can be, do, and have whatever you set your mind to. Create life on your terms. This podcast features interviews with inspiring people who share their stories about stepping out and creating a life they love. You can also expect solo episodes where I share what’s on my mind and heart, all to help you continue to paint your path.

Self-Coronation, The Creative Path + Why We Need Your Art: Interview with Amie McNee
This episode is truly a dream come true! I had the absolute joy of speaking with Amie McNee, an incredible fiction author, creative mentor, and all-around artistic rebel. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, creative burnout, or waiting for permission to step into your artistic power—this conversation is for you.
Here’s more about Amie in her own words: My name is Amie McNee and I help Artists and Creatives thrive.
Sharing my books, courses, workshops and a dedicated creative community with my partner James, our mission is to dismantle the limiting narrative surrounding creatives so that we may each become the Artists the world needs us to be.
Stepping up as an Artist is an incredibly brave and generous act which deserves to be taken seriously. When I’m not writing my books, you’ll find me speaking, teaching and writing love-letters online to creators of all mediums and art-forms.
Creative, no matter who you are or in what way you’d like to contribute; please remember, we need your art!
Amie and I dive into:
✨ The power of self-coronation
✨ Why art is needed especially in hard times
✨ Overcoming rejection and finding your own definition of success
✨ The magic of making “shitty art” (I share my shitty art pic in my newsletter)
✨ How Amie self-published her books before being approached by Penguin
✨ Balancing creativity with self-care to avoid burnout
Amie is a force of nature, and this conversation will light a fire under you to stop waiting and start creating—on your terms.
