In this episode of Afterbath, Mat shares Chapter One from his upcoming book Transforming Lives One Note at a Time.
This reflection explores the inner voice — the constant mental commentary that judges, compares, and tells us we’re not good enough, especially when learning music, singing, or trying something new.
You’ll hear why music is not a competition, not a performance, and not a measure of your worth — but simply an experience of sound, presence, and awareness.
The episode closes with a six-minute Christmas Sound Bath preview to help settle the body and quiet the mind.
