Hosts Stuart (aka @psychosis0161) and @katiee.neall explore the world of Music and Mental Health.

For many musicians the studio becomes a sanctuary, a place to unpack emotions too tangled for everyday conversation. Songwriting can be therapeutic - a place to process grief anxiety heartbreak or identity. Through melody and lyric artists expose their vulnerabilities and in doing so they not only heal themselves they give listeners permission to feel reflect and connect. Music becomes the bridge between isolation and understanding.

In Episode 10 we explore how music can become a powerful tool for emotional processing. When feelings are difficult to articulate in conversation, creative expression can offer another path — transforming complex experiences into sound, story, and shared understanding.

Stuart and Katie are joined by guest D’Evergreen for a thoughtful discussion about creativity, vulnerability, and the role music can play in helping us work through what we carry.

A reflective conversation about expression, connection, and the ways music helps us make sense of our inner worlds. 💚🎶

🎙️ Music and Mental Health Podcast – Episode 9: SMART Goals 🎙️

Hosts Stuart (aka @psychosis0161) and @katiee.neall are joined by guest Spiritual Don for this episode.

Today we’re talking about Smart Goals - a simple but powerful framework for turning intentions into action. In music and mental health, it’s easy to get lost in dreams and vague resolutions. Smart Goals help us break those down into steps that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timebound. Think of them as a roadmap - instead of just saying “I want to get better” you’re setting clear markers that keep you accountable and moving forward.

In this conversation, we explore how structure can support creativity rather than restrict it. We discuss how realistic goal-setting can reduce overwhelm, build confidence through small wins, and create steady progress in both recovery and music.

A focused discussion about clarity, consistency, and building momentum that lasts. 💚🎶

🎙️ Podcast 008 – Stigma & Mental Health in Music

Hosts: Stuart (aka @psychosis0161) & Katie Neall
Special Guest: Amey St Cyr

When we talk about music, we often celebrate the creativity, the energy and the connection it brings. But behind the spotlight, many musicians carry invisible struggles. Mental health challenges are still surrounded by stigma, misunderstandings, silence and judgement that can weigh heavier than the music itself.

In this episode, we're diving into how stigma shapes the lives of artists and how it impacts their careers, and why breaking the silence matters not just for musicians, but for all of us.

Katie and Stuart are joined by Amey St Cyr, a dynamic artist, presenter, and creative mentor whose work champions empowerment, authenticity, and expression. Drawing on her lived experience across music, media, and advocacy, Amey brings honesty, insight, and warmth to the conversation.

A powerful discussion about creativity, confidence, recovery, and community through music. 💚🎶
