Dr. Joyce Spurgeon joins us this week to talk mental health and the ways artist can find balance in their lives. Dr. Spurgeon is a psychiatrist with over 21+ years experience in the field. Before recording this episode, we felt the best way to shine a positive light on the power of therapy was to record an ACTUAL therapy session. We discuss grappling with career dilemmas, hearing Nic's greatest advice to live by, finding comfort promoting yourself online, creating art vs. content, and overcoming creative block.
