Selfamusic Podcast

Sometimes people aren’t hiding something. Sometimes they’re just trying to function.

Welcome to the start of two episodes a week! This one is for you time conscious people, every Monday episode will be less than 10 minutes. If you’d like to hear more on the topic, there will be a longer more detailed episode on Thursdays. Happy to have you here!

Hey there, my friends! I’m Rachael… and if you’re new here, hi, hello, welcome, you found me somehow.This is Selfamusic, a mental health podcast where we use music to figure out what we’re feeling… because sometimes our brains are like, “nope not feeling that” when we try to do it on our own.So instead, we let a song emotionally wreck us a little, and then we talk about why.It’s reflective, it’s a little unhinged (in a safe way), and it’s basically just a space where you don’t have to have the right words, you just have to feel something.So, if that sounds like your kind of thing… welcome. You’re one of us now! (Like in a "Ain't It Fun", By Paramore kind of way!)Don't forget to follow!Want more content? Follow Me Here:Tiktok: @selfamusicpodYoutube: @Selfamusicpod

Hey there friends, sorry I've been not around for a while, let's talk a little bit about why!

Someone pointed something out that I thought was interesting..*if you’re new here, maybe don’t start with this one.. head down the list to the episode that has the picture of an eye ball titled “I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again.”That is what this podcast is, this episode was a rough day for me.*

Songs have this incredible power to transport us to different places and times.. When’s the last time you experienced this? Do you remember?

Have you ever had the feeling that you are right where you need to be? Is that something you’ve ever experienced?

Let's talk about my biggest insecurity.. We're all human and have them.. This particular one is my biggest issue.

New Year, New You??

Some weeks don’t come with clear feelings or easy explanations - just a sense that something is sitting beneath the surface.

This episode explores the mind–body connection through the phenomenon of frisson, those powerful physical sensations we get from emotional music moments.We dive into why it happens, what your brain is trying to tell you, and how you can use these responses as gentle emotional insight. A guided listening exercise helps you experience it intentionally.

Are you actually positive? Or is there some toxic positivity in there? Let’s talk about it!(If you want to skip my random beginning tangent, skip ahead to 9:00.)

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃Do you have a songs that you play at different times for different reasons or that helps you?Why? What are they?

*If you come across this one first, go to Part 1!*So we're just going to take a few minutes to discuss something that SHOULD be common knowledge for everyone but isn't.. Part 2Again, apologies for the multiple parts!

So we’re just going to take a few minutes to discuss something that SHOULD be common knowledge for everyone but isn’t..(Sorry about the 2 parts, having some technical issues, and the easiest solution was to split it into 2 parts.)

What is your way of coping with your anxiety? You need a song to play in your car to make you feel better? Got you covered friend!! 💥💥

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!

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.)

There are numerous things you can do to help with your mental health issues, being more self aware of things is one of them.

Sharing the song that has been hitting all the right places (in my brain) dopamine and such..Along with some mental health basic tips to help you! (Things I've noticed that have helped me!)

Are you using your anxiety, depression, overthinking as a crutch? Because you can count on it to be a constant thing in your life, while everything else is messy?

"Are you waiting for the perfect night?Are you waiting 'til the time is right?What are you waiting for?"Whatever it is you're waiting on.. The time will never be right, just get up the courage and do it!Then you won't have to look back and regret not trying!

Hang with me here.. I know crying is a hard thing for a lot of people, (myself included) but I need you to understand why you should allow yourself to cry!

We spend so much of our time protecting ourselves, we lose out on some great things.. Even things that could help us be happy! “Don’t think about what’s going wrong, Think about what could go right.”

This is a song that I feel like everyone needs to hear at some point!! It’s time to grow up y’all!! By grow up I don’t mean lose your sense of humor or joy!
