Music, Creativity, and Mental Health: Roses & Revolutions - Roundtable

This roundtable discussed the podcast with Alyssa Coco and Matt Merritt and focussed on the following themes: how 'comparison is the thief of joy' and the necessity of transforming the cycle of comparison to a cycle of inspiration; how studying others' successes builds one's own success; how mindfulness can help in identifying one's negatiev reactions thereby allowing a more positive perspective; how typical these challenges are for the Indie artitst; how brave and honest Alyssa and Matt were ini this discussion; how early success and signing with a label is just the ffirst of many mountains to climb, and how unprecendented and problematic the contemporary access to artists is via social media.
