- "I've Been Stuck Now So Long, We Just Got The Start Wrong"
Sorry for the absence y'all, I've been sick and just used my energy to get out of bed. Hope everyone has had a lovely few weeks. Today is a short one, I'll have things more together and better for the next episode.
7 min - "I'll Dust Off This Heart, Put On A Show"
This is a quick one. I'm going to tell you about my outlook on something a lot of people concern themselves with and why it may be a hidden opportunity to grow as a person. Dust off your heart and put on a show!
23 min - " I've Been Waitin' For So Long For Somethin' To Arrive "
The unpredictability of life is kind of what makes it beautiful, but being aware of how and why we do and think some of the things we do, is essential to helping our anxiety and depression become more easily recognizable so we can live that beautiful life!
(I'm going to apologize in advance, there is a few bad words thrown in here.. I have the bad habit of cursing when I'm hurt, and talking about this kind of brought some things up for me.)
35 min - “This Time I’ve Got Nothing To Waste”
There are numerous things you can do to help with your mental health issues, being more self aware of things is one of them.
22 min - "I'm Falling Like A Domino, Was That Part Of Your Plan?"
Sharing the song that has been hitting all the right places (in my brain) dopamine and such..

(Things I've noticed that have helped me!)
38 min - "On Some Beach... Somewhere."
My shuffled playlist is trying to emotionally destroy me today.
Hopefully yours is being kinder.
33 min - Why Do I?
Sit and ask yourself, why do I care so much what other people think?
I’ll still working on some things with this podcast so this isn’t the typical episode (aside from my getting distracted by tangents, I'll apologize but also it's who I am!)
43 min - Hang With Me For A Second..
Just wanted to give a quick update why I've been absent and I need some feedback, so I can proceed in a way that will be the most beneficial to help y'all!

51 min - “It’s Only In Your Head, You Feel Left Out”
Mental health is extremely tricky, and issues we’ve dealt with have caused us to form some unhealthy coping mechanisms.

About Selfamusic Podcast
From the publisher's feed
What if you stopped trying to figure out how you’re feeling and just pressed play? 🎧
Welcome to Selfamusic, a mental health podcast where music gets to do some of the talking.
We explore the songs that make us cry, dance, remember, rage, heal, laugh, or stare dramatically out a car window like we’re starring in our own music video. Sometimes there’s a deeper conversation hiding underneath a song. Sometimes there isn’t. And that’s okay.
I’m not here to tell you what a song means or what you’re supposed to take from it. I’m here to give you something to listen to, something to think about, and maybe a question or two to carry with you.
*A little note for returning listeners: Selfamusic has evolved over the years. The earlier seasons are more personal and often document me working through my own experiences in real time.
Season 5 takes a slightly different approach, less teacher, more guide; less “here’s what this means,” more “what does this mean to you?”
Because your experience with a song belongs to you. 🎶
I’m Rachael. This is Selfamusic.
*SEASON 5 IS COMING IN SEPTEMBER!*
Yes, you read that correctly. I have apparently decided to resurrect this podcast after disappearing into the void for a while. 🤷♀️
While you’re waiting for Season 5 to make its grand return, go wander through the previous seasons. Some are more emotional, some are more personal, and some are basically me figuring things out in public. which, honestly, feels very on-brand for me.
New to Selfamusic?
Start with episode:
“The Selfamusic Experiment: How a Song Became My Therapist (Sort Of). “
It’s the origin story of this slightly weird idea and explains how I discovered that sometimes a song can help us get to feelings we can’t quite reach on our own.
So hit follow, poke around the archives, find an episode that catches your attention, and come hang out with me again in September.
The headphones are coming back. 🎧
