Listen "Failing Forward"
Episode Synopsis
In this powerful kickoff to Mental Health Awareness Month, mezzo-soprano Bri Cooper pulls back the curtain on the emotional realities of life as a performing artist. From audition anxiety to post-show burnout, Bri shares personal stories, industry statistics, and practical strategies for navigating mental health in the arts. With humor, honesty, and heart, this episode reminds creatives that vulnerability is not weakness—it’s artistry.
Sponsored by Thrive Market, this episode also includes a special mid-roll announcement about Bri’s nomination for Fab Over 40 by Giuliana Rancic, and an invitation for listeners to support her journey.
