Amie McNee

Amie explores the empowering yet challenging journey of seeking support from fellow creatives for her book. She recalls the vulnerability of asking for endorsement blurbs, a task that triggers past wounds of rejection and feeling like an inconvenience. However, she reminds herself that asking for help does not diminish her power as an artist; rather, it is a crucial part of the creative process. By reframing her mindset, Amie embraces the idea that artists deserve support, and that reaching out is an act of bravery, not weakness. Her inner monologue highlights the importance of self-compassion and the understanding that support from others is a gift, not a burden.
