Listen "#8 - The Art of Coping: Navigating Mental Health Through Creativity"

Episode Synopsis


In today's episode, Dave and Allysia discuss the chicken-or-egg problem of mental health and the creative arts. We get personal and talk about how creativity and music helped us through our own significant challenges, and also the ways in which creativity has exacerbated our mental health issues. We muse on why so many people in the arts seem to struggle with mental health issues, discuss self-care solutions and ways to navigate the darkness, and more. Thanks for tuning in!
