Going There with Dr. Mike

Jordan Miller of The Beaches: From "Last Girls At The Party" to Confronting Anxiety


Listen Later

Singer-songwriter and frontperson of The Beaches, Jordan Miller, joins host Dr. Mike Friedman on Going There with Dr. Mike to explore the often-overlooked but significant mental health challenge of boredom. Dr. Mike welcomes Jordan to discuss her personal journey with the highs and lows of being a professional musician, where intense moments on stage are contrasted with long, isolating periods of waiting. The conversation centers on how this boredom can become a gateway to anxiety, depression, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. The Beaches' album, No Hard Feelings, provides a raw and honest backdrop to the discussion, which delves into how we can manage difficult emotions when the glamour of life fades away.

The conversation delves into Jordan’s candid experience with navigating her own mental health, from using alcohol and seeking "chaotic" experiences to combat feelings of emptiness, to the struggle of balancing a "bad girl" rockstar persona with a healthy, stable life. Jordan openly shares the specifics of her anxiety, including her unique coping strategies, and the process of learning to validate her feelings without letting them spiral. The episode explores the fine line between fun and self-destruction, the cathartic power of songwriting after a devastating heartbreak, and the universal challenge of finding healthy ways to manage the quiet, difficult moments in our lives.
