<p>Welcome back, dear listener. Today's episode touches on different topics than we usually cover, but at its core, it’s about the same themes: how to trust yourself, connect with your values, and stay authentic—even when it feels risky.</p><p>My guest today is <strong>Hamze Awawde</strong>, a Palestinian activist and writer whose work focuses on peacebuilding.</p><p>In our conversation, we explore what it means to build trust when it seems impossible, how to stay grounded in your values when faced with power imbalances and demands for unity, and how to move beyond the stuckness of fear into a deeper connection with our own humanity—and the humanity of others.</p><p>We also talk about the discomfort of honesty—how speaking your truth can alienate some people, and even cost you friendships, but ultimately leads to more genuine and authentic connections.</p><p>It’s a conversation about courage, complexity, and the ongoing practice of seeing ourselves and one another fully. I’m honored to share it with you.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>You can find Hamze at:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hamzeawawde/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/hamzeawawde/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>And you can find me at:</strong>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/anna_holtzman/">@anna_holtzman</a>Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>Website: <a href="https://www.annaholtzman.com/home">www.annaholtzman.com</a></p>

<p>Have you ever felt like you’re on the edge of stepping into a new version of yourself—one that feels more aligned, more authentic—but something keeps holding you back? That something is often an old identity that once served you but no longer fits. In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into what it really takes to let go of an outdated identity and embrace the next phase of your personal or professional journey.</p><p><br></p><p>You'll learn: </p><p>✨ Why shedding an old identity feels so uncomfortable (even when you know you’ve outgrown it) </p><p>✨ The fears that keep us stuck—like worrying about what others will think or if we’re "good enough" for the next step ✨ How these fears show up as procrastination, perfectionism, and self-sabotage </p><p>✨ Practical tools to navigate identity shifts with more ease, self-compassion, and confidence </p><p>✨ A simple first step you can take today to start moving forward</p><p><br></p><p>I’ll also share my own experiences navigating major identity shifts—from design magazines to reality TV, from therapist to coach—and how I help creatives, coaches, and entrepreneurs step into visibility in a way that feels energizing, not exhausting.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 Tune in now, and if this episode resonates, let me know!

<p>Welcome back, dear listener. Today’s guest is someone whose words have inspired hundreds of thousands of creatives to step fully into their artistic identity—and I know she’s going to inspire you, too.</p><p>Amie McNee is a writer, speaker, and creative coach whose mission is to dismantle the limiting narratives that hold artists back. Through her books, courses, workshops, and online community, she helps creatives build the courage to choose themselves and their art—without waiting for permission.</p><p>Her new book, We Need Your Art, is a powerful call to action, reminding us that creative work isn’t just a hobby or a luxury—it’s essential. And yet, so many of us struggle with the fear of being seen, of not being "good enough," or of simply not knowing where to begin. In this conversation, Amie shares her own journey as well as practical tools that you can use for trusting yourself as an artist and building a sustainable creative practice.</p><p>And … I’ll be honest, I was ridiculously excited for this conversation. I’ve been such a fan of Amie’s work for so long that I wasn’t entirely sure I’d be able to keep my cool, so I might sound a little goofy.</p><p>If you've ever felt the pull to create but hesitated because of self-doubt, this episode is for you. Let’s get into it.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>You can find Amie at:</strong><br><a href="https://www.amiemcnee.com/">https://www.amiemcnee.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/inspiredtowrite/">https://www.instagram.com/inspiredtowrite/</a></p><p>We Need Your Art: <a href="https://www.amiemcnee.com/pre-order-we-need-your-art-book-amie-mcnee">https://www.amiemcnee.com/pre-order-we-need-your-art-book-amie-mcnee</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>And you can find me at:</strong>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/anna_holtzman/">@anna_holtzman</a>Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>Website: <a href="https://www.annaholtzman.com/home">www.annaholtzman.com</a></p>
