THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOU EVER...
Find yourself doom-scrolling and comparing your success to others
Feel like everyone has it "figured out" except you
Feel you have to be part of "hustle culture" to survive
Feel sadness or shame when you see your peers succeed
Try to ignore your negative emotions, thinking they'll resolve on their own with time
Are ready to connect with yourself and your music on a deeper level
From Participants
"This has been an incredibly powerful and mind opening session! Thank you both SO much for your wisdom and time."
"Soo relaxed after this - I am always running - at least in my head of everything I need to be doing … thank you!"
"brought me to a place where I can genuinely motivate and inspire my practice from a love of music… It’s changed my experience about being in a jam and playing with others- I can hear, laugh, and appreciate what’s going on around me so much more"
Stress and self-judgment have become normalized for musicians...
... but that doesn't mean they are healthy, or necessary!
Did you know that even many of your heroes in music experience stress, comparison and self judgment?
You're NOT the only one in the room (or Instagram) who questions your abilities, social skills, if you're doing enough to advance your career, or are good enough to even be attempting this profession.
Most of us have learned to put on a good 'professional' mask, and need to project the sense of having-it-all-together to appear hirable and desirable.
This can be incredibly stressful and isolating.
This stress gets stored in our bodies and normalized as part of the 'hustle.'
Musicians rarely talk about our emotional challenges, and if we do, there are rarely good solutions.
Our mission is to equip you with techniques that address the specific emotional challenges musicians face, and the unique way we experience them.
Even if you currently work with therapy (which this class is not a substitute for) you will find powerful distinctions in this approach to emotional work that embraces your nature as a creative, artistic person.
"Practicing harder" is NOT the answer
You need to learn and apply the fundamental skills of emotional work, just as you learned them with music.
Learn these essential skills in this workshop and get 24/7 access to the recording and exercises.
"Grateful"
Evan, you and Chris were able to successfully bring me through the whole "motivation by fear/feeling not good enough" thing- super grateful to the two of you for that 🙏
