Do you consider yourself a rebel?  Someone who shakes things up?  Who challenges the status quo?   Or maybe you are like me, a recovering people pleaser (hands up!).   Either way, if you are making music then I want to be very clear… You are participating in a rebellious act.

Vulnerability Hangover [Authentic Songwriting & Anxiety]

September 15, 2023 17:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MB

A Vulnerability Hangover is the feeling of anxiety and dread you have after sharing one of your songs with others. Recognise this? Wow - I do! I recently signed up for Courageous Voice, a six-week program about showing up online authentically and speaking honestly to the people who matter to you (i.e. YOU! 🥰) But showing up as myself online, being authentic and real means that I will not be everyone's cup of tea ☕️ And that scares me.

Today I want to talk about something really important… …this is going to get personal really fast, I am a recovering people pleaser. First, what is ‘people pleasing’? People-pleasing involves putting someone else's needs ahead of your own. People-pleasers are highly attuned to others and are often seen as agreeable, helpful, and kind.  For years I called myself empathetic, I am just really intuitive to other people’s feelings, it’s like a gift I have. I just REALLY care about others, I a...

The comparison trap... don't worry, we have all fell into it at times.   I promise you, even the most confident of musicians have found themselves deep in the grips of questioning themselves and their worth in relation to other artists.  So, what do you when you are caught in the comparison trap?
