Today I'm talking about how to process receiving criticism or negative attention for your music or art, whether this has happened to you or you're afraid of experiencing it. Talking about how to take it in stride while also being kind and real with yourself. The difference between constructive criticism and straight up trolling, and why you shouldn't take the trolling too seriously! I also break down the recent events that inspired this episode :)

I recently made my return to the stage for the first time in five years. I practiced a lot for it! Folks, it did not go well. Had some issues with my voice on show day. On this episode, I'm breaking down what happened, how I processed the experience, and why I'm not beating myself up about it!

Today's episode is all about mental health! For anyone who is struggling, or maybe doesn't know what's wrong, I hope this helps. I'm breaking down what my mental health issues looked like, why I avoided getting help for so long, what the process was like to start going to therapy, and how it ultimately changed my life for the better! Being an artist and trying to build a career in today's capitalist hellscape comes with so much baggage as it is, that anything you can do to mitigate your brain acting against you can be a big help to get through the day :)

We are BACK, baby! The plan is to turn this into a bi-weekly thing. In today's episode we're talking about how fear-based compulsion can hold you back, releasing/putting things out when it feels like no one’s watching, dealing with industry rejection and accepting a more independent path, learning how to define success for yourself outside of the industry, and many more things!

In today's episode, we're continuing the narrative, talking a lot about compulsions. The compulsion to put too much value in numbers & social media results when it comes to finding value in your art. The compulsion to feel like you have to listen to everything or know everything or consume the perfect art in order to be a good artist yourself. Exploring the question...do you need to know a lot about music in the past & present to make good music, or could that even be a hindrance on your creativity? Plus, unpacking my own struggles with OCD, anxiety & depression.

Today we're continuing the narrative that we left off on "Leaving Chicago, pt. 2." Talking about healing, struggling with self acceptance, slowly getting back on my house, crossing over and beginning the process of learning how to record & produce on my own, making more songs in pursuit of the Calvero Sound how my first co-writes with Terror Jr on Atlantic Records came to be... plus, doing things for the process, not the outcome. Working towards being the person you want to be. Creating without fear... it's good to be back!! :)
