    Singer-songwriter and guitarist Natasha Meister from London, Ontario is my guest on this episode of the podcast. She has over ten years of experience in the industry, much of it spent in South Africa.

  • Episode 68: Making Connections, Telling Stories, and Shifting Mindsets with Crystal McGrath

    Country-pop recording artist and multi-passionate entrepreneur, Crystal McGrath, from Calgary, Alberta (my hometown!)  is my guest on the podcast this week.

    We had a great chat about mindfulness and burnout, pivoting during the pandemic, finding the right time to release music, her podcast and Instagram live projects, overcoming fear and nerves, women in country music, her program Artist Wellness, and so much more!

    Crystal released her latest single “Game on” in September and launched her Artist Wellness program at the end of December 2020.

    And one serious question before we go...have you ever heard of the Calgary Stampede? Let us know in this quick survey!

     

    Quotes that stood out:

    • “I just love hearing people's stories. Everybody has something different to say even though you know, their stories can be very similar, but very, very different at the same time.”
    • “That's what makes us cool individuals is that we all do suffer. And we all do shine and sharing both sides of that, I think is really important.”
    • “Anytime I get freaked out, it's like, let's come to the why, why? Why are you doing this? Because you hate it? No, because you love it. And when you come back to that love, it kind of washes away the fear.”
    • “We do have some choice in the matter. We choose if we want to live in fear, if we want to live in love. And choosing that love path doesn't mean it's easy, doesn't mean you're not going to have bad days or hard days or hard times. But you do have that choice.”
    • “I just really feel like as a female working in the music industry, or any industry, see yourself as an equal and move through it as an equal. And when you have that mindset, I just really feel like there's no limitations, and there's no blocks. And don't ever let yourself think you can't do something because you're female, don't think you're not good enough. Don't think you don't have enough strength or support or, or any of those things. I think just put your boss hat on and go after it.”
    • “You can’t have a manager until you know how to manage yourself.”
