#66 What It Looks Like to Heal Anxiety: Performing Jazz Pianist Kate Skinner Shares Tips That Changed Her Life


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered what it REALLY looks like when someone says they turned their anxiety around and it’s no longer as big of a deal as it used to be? Do you wish you could just sit down with them and ask them to explain in more detail how that worked for them? If so, you’re going to love my conversation with today’s guest on the show, Kate Skinner...

 

Today’s episode is a must-listen because you’ll gain powerful insights on what to do (and not do) to take back your life from anxiety, to ignite your creative pursuits, and learn how a battle with cancer didn’t stop my guest from showing up for life with courage and vulnerability, which helped her heal. 

 

In this wisdom-packed episode, a top-loved university professor of jazz piano studies joins me to share candid truths about overcoming challenges, being a mom with a demanding career, healing anxiety, and battling cancer all while honoring her creativity and authenticity.

 

Kate Skinner shares with us how anxiety can be minimized and take a backseat, and she is here to share how she learned to write music and record in the studio without worrying what other people think, to let the creativity flow from within, and to honor her creativity and let it out with joy - not easy to do when you have tendencies toward people-pleasing. This conversation is going to make you think differently about anxiety, from panic attacks to playing small - it’s all covered today. 

 

I ask some hard questions and today you get to learn from a brave, vulnerable, woman who when it comes to life dealing you some hard things, you’re getting sincere answers, no fluff, just the real truth.

 

And you’ll also want to listen all the way to the end for one of the most beautiful, inspiring endings to any episode of the Dare Greatly Podcast.
