Principles of Magic for Everyday Living: We Need You with Amie McNee

Thu, 29 May 2025 16:00:00 -0000

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.

Ep. 180: Tiny Humans Big Emotions! With Alyssa Campbell!

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 14:39:54 -0000

Here’s the problem with being a human, we all have feelings, and big emotions, as well as small emotions—and most of us have no idea what to do with them! If you’re like me, you were raised by the baby boomer generation, who was taught that you shut down those feelings and shut up about them, and that didn’t really work, did it? Luckily, Alyssa has a fantastic new book that is going to help us not only learn how to understand and regulate our own emotions, but help us do that with the next generation as well! It’s called “Tiny Humans Big Emotions!” I cannot emphasize enough how important I think this perspective and work is and I am so grateful to Alyssa from @seed.and.sew for creating and sharing it!

135: Remix: Why it’s ok to be wrong and what’s intellectual humility?!

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 16:35:58 -0000

Ooooh yeah! We are remixing a popular episode (75!) and updating it with an awesome study about intellectual humility! What’s that?! Listen up! You’re gonna love it! And before you snap back, "THERE'S NO WAY I'M WRONG!" Haha, this episode is intended to break your brain open a bit! We're talking about why it feels wrong to be wrong, but how being wrong can lead to so many wonderful things that are right! One huge takeaway from this episode is an exercise asking you to question if you're wrong about yourself, what you can do and what you are capable of! And not in the, "You can't do it..." way, but in the, "But what if you can?!" So go on a philosophical journey through time and space with us and see if you can't find some solutions or a little bit of awesome in thinking about your current life shtuff in a new way!

You’ll get actionable takeaways for self-love, compassion, and navigating difficult emotions, as well as deep insight and perspective from Darryl’s unique experiences, which I know is so needed right now.

Ep. 92: How I let Instagram ruin my life!

Wed, 07 Aug 2019 17:34:00 -0000

Whether you’re on social media for friends and family, using it to build a business, or have sworn off of it all together, social media affects all of us BIG TIME. There’s no denying it! So I wanted to share my story, and all I’ve learned about how to use Instagram in a way that enriches my life and business, rather than drains it. It’s been a long road! My life, of course, is not actually ruined, but for a while, I absolutely let my performance on Instagram determine my mood for the day, how I felt about my business, and without realizing, I let it affect how I valued myself as a person. I open up quite a lot here, it's ROUGH, haha, but I really hope that sharing what I’ve learned serves you, or helps you feel less alone and empowered.
