Join me in this episode, A Drummer's Guide To... Process Goals, where I turn goal setting on it's head, and reverse them, to make them more achievable, fun, and allow for all the uncontrollable elements that come with pursuing a creative career :-/

Join me in this episode, A Drummer's Guide To... Shortcuts where I share some proper cringey things I used to do when I was younger to find the 'most effective' route to becoming a professional drummer, as well as some useful things, but the reality of trying to get past the hard work that is necessary to a career in this industry. So if you'd just like to come and laugh at a past version of me, then this is the episode for you, and you're more than welcome to join! :-)

Join me in this episode, A Drummer's Guide To... Hot Cross Buns! Is it about food?! Nope, I wish! This is a CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) method that is widely used to help with moments of anxiety by noticing what's actually going on within you. I share how I apply it to auditions, rehearsals, social situations, and I hope it helps you too! Also would highly recommend you look it up for a visual too :-)

Join me in this episode, A Drummer's Guide To... Hyper-focus and Flow as I share the benefits of getting into those states and how I use them to 'move the needle' as it were towards my goals. If you want to delve deeper, the books I talk about that are 2 of my favourites are Deep Work by Cal Newport, and Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Would highly recommend both! :-)

Join me in this episode, A Drummer's Guide To... Perfectionism Revisited where I share about my bloomin perfectionist attitude and negative self talk rearing it's head once again in my life. Coming off the back of a fight or flight situation (it's not really but could seem that way in the moment), it's so unexpected and so disruptive! Hopefully this makes you feel less alone if you're suffering with perfectionist tendencies.

Join me in this episode, A Drummer's Guide To... Identity Pitfalls where I share the dangers of identifying yourself in certain ways, vs empowering yourself. As always there's a lot of tangents, ramblings, and some real time realisations... you love to see it... kind of!

Thank you to Lindsay Roberts who inspired this episode of A Drummer's Guide To Developing Complexity in Your Playing. Whilst I don't actually consider myself a complex player, I kind of realised through the episode that maybe I am, how I developed that, and liken it to other aspects of my life. Come join me :-)
