Hello and welcome back to Just like the Moon (we go through phases) and in this weeks episode we meet Rachel Drury.Rachel is a freelance musician and researcher working predominantly in the field of music education and psychology with a doctorate in music psychology, and also work as a lectures in both undergraduate and postgraduate courses at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.In this episode Rachel talks about her experience with anxiety and mental health struggles whilst studying and working as a musician, how this has influenced her research into mental health and creativity (in particular music), and how ultimately it has allowed her to understand what work gives her value and purpose. Rachel was my tutor during my Masters degree and still to this day is a great source of knowledge, guidance and motivation and is definitely someone who inspires me to always be curious and questions the work and the world around me - and I am sure she will inspired you to do so too.
