Episode 62 - Anxiety and Self-Esteem in the Music Industry with Emme Lentino

Experiencing anxiety and maintaining a healthy self-esteem are two aspects of being an artist that are important to talk about. I’m honored to welcome Emme Lentino onto the show for a very authentic chat about anxiety and self-esteem in the music industry. Mental health is important to both of us, so what we discuss in this episode is close to our hearts. The quote for this episode is by Chelsea Handler: “I still get anxiety about things I have to do professionally, and I’m pretty sure I always will. Knowing that’s part of the process helps me focus not on the worry itself but on the sense of accomplishment I’ll feel afterward. I get more from going through with something than from walking away.” Emme and I had such an open and honest conversation about anxiety and self-esteem that I’m honored to share. We talk about overcoming anxiety, balancing what we have to do as songwriters and artists and being mindful of what we can handle, knowing when to take a step back and reflect on how what we’re doing is affecting our creativity and mental health, setting boundaries and having a routine, overcoming performance anxiety, dealing with anxiety while networking with music industry professionals, having a healthy relationship with social media, developing a positive mindset to maintain a healthy self-esteem, protecting our mental health, treating ourselves with kindness, and more. My conversation with Emme is so inspiring, and I hope you enjoy it. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode? Would you like to be a guest?
