Speaker 1:So I know that I've mentioned it on here before, but when I was younger, I always dreamt of being a writer or, you know, some type of journalism, right, and um, you know, I think my mother knew. She always said you are so good at writing and you know I did kind of think about pursuing it. Um, I've always, just, you know, would write. Some people call it diaries, but I always just called it notes. I always wrote notes throughout my life, whether they were just for school or, you know, just as a hobby, and I always loved writing stories and that's another thing I kind of always wanted to get into. You know the horror verse. You know, if you will horror movies, anything, fiction, nonfiction I always wanted to be behind the camera and be the one writing and, you know, plotting what was going to blow everyone's minds. Because, growing up, watching horror movies, watching documentaries, watching, you know, creepy shows, all of it. Even now there's there's a lot that stand out, and then there's so much that's so common that there's like to me, there's not a lot of creativity that's being shown, and I know there's a lot of creative people like me out there that never get the chance to even be heard, right. So in this episode I want to include some fun little facts and some history of creative people, along with one of my favorite movies too, since I was a kid and even being an adult. Now you understand more what those quotes meant. All right, so question that I put onto Google AI and that is is podcasting a form of journalism? And the reply was yes, podcasting is a form of journalism. Okay, so it's.
Speaker 1:In-depth reporting Podcasts can explore complex topics over multiple episodes, providing context and analysis that's often not possible in any other news formats. Accessibility Podcasts are highly accessible and can be consumed anywhere. Diverse perspectives Podcasts can feature a variety of perspectives. Expert interviews Podcasts often feature interviews with subject matter experts. Shining a light on problems Podcasts can help shine a light on problems that need attention. Amplifying voices Podcasts can provide a different kind of amplifying voice that quoting someone is an article. Podcasting has become journalism's most rapidly growing digital genre.
Speaker 1:However, there are also concerns about podcasting, such as the potential for disinformation. Hmm, that's very interesting. Principles Hmm, that's very interesting. Um, that is something that I did. I wouldn't say I got flagged for, but there it did explain on the overview of my podcast that it said that um, I can pull it up. It's something about I do have expert speakers talking, but also I have, I've had some misinformed information that can cause, you know, panic and anxiety in people and I'm thinking okay, I mean, I don't take that to heart. I'm like, okay, that's cool, it's making waves. But here's the thing, though, if it is on the podcast and this is a form of journalism obviously it's already out there and I'm talking about it, and you know what? Here's the thing. They quote unquote they don't want you talking about shit that scares people. But we, the people, fucking see it and we hear it, right, because we are all on social media or some type of news or something, some kind of cellular device or tablet computer, whatever. Everybody sees everything, right, I mean, you can't hide it. I just go into depth and talk about it, okay, so the next question that I asked because I thought it was very interesting why are podcasts important?
Speaker 1:Podcasts are important for many reasons, including mental health. Podcasts can help reduce stress and improve mental health. Learning Podcasts can help people learn new things and reduce screen time. Personal connection Podcasts can create a more personal connection with an audience than written content. Trust Podcasts can help build trust, which is important for selling products or services.
Speaker 1:Audience segmentation Podcasts can reach a specific listener base by catering to niche interest and communities. Data-driven insights Podcast platforms provide analytics that can help businesses refine their content strategy. Now I always say niche, but my husband always says it's niche so whatever. But I always say, like, what's your niche? And I probably don't say it right, but that's just how I talk. So, anyways, I wanted to add that, okay, so the profitability aspect of a podcast so podcasts can be profitable way to make revenue. Right Podcasts can also be very intimate. Podcasts can be more personal and engaging than other outlets, because audio allows emotions to be expressed more, which I 1000% agree with. Shareable podcasts are highly shareable, which can increase listens and sales. Informative podcasts can inform, inspire or engage their audience. Entertaining podcasts can be a form of entertainment and can cover a variety of topics, including comedy, true crime, news and business. So I agree with that article. That little AI overview. I think podcasts are great.
Speaker 1:I actually have a client that got me into podcasts listening. God, this was before the pandemic, so I can't remember. I want to say so. I can't remember. I want to say like in 2018, and she was like you have to listen to Morbid. She's like you are Morbid, you love all that shit, listen to it. And I started listening to Morbid and I absolutely loved it. Um, in fact, I kind of like stopped watching TV and then I I listened to like all these other different podcasts like storytelling ones, I listened to like mental health ones, oh my God, like daily affirmations, horoscopes and numerology, and I just the list goes on and it just kind of like totally lit a spark up my ass. Totally lit a spark up my ass, if you will, like, wow, the world of podcasting is amazing. And then that's since I mean, we were already doing our paranormal gigs and, you know, exploring. So that's kind of like when I realized, okay, definitely want to do a podcast one day and I want to make it like a documentary podcasting, and then I want to make a Michigan-based documentary. So that's where that started from. So I absolutely agree with this. So another thing that I want to engage with my listeners today is any type of music therapy.
Speaker 1:Whether you listen to music, play musical instruments, I have always been intrigued by the drums. I never did learn how to read music. It was really hard for me. I did have a famous neighbor, jack Scott, rip. He did pass away a few years back. He was a musician here out of Michigan. He was born in Canada, but he did teach me through the years how to play acoustic guitar and I thought it was very boring and I don't like the orthodox of like learning, um, like taking things slow. I want to get in there. Boom, boom, boom, boom. I want to like make noise Right. Well, it was later, when I had met my husband, that I realized electric guitars were. You know, that's where it's at, and just a few years ago I kind of like picked up on playing the guitar.
Speaker 1:I'm not good, I suck, I'm terrible. I can do some really cool-ass riffs, but my husband definitely got me into guitars and I've always loved metal music. You know, whatever you want to call it, new metal. You know hardcore metal, rock, alternative. I still love my pop music too and my old school rap. You know hip hop, r&b, like I'm talking 90s, early 2000s, because that's where my brain is still at and for all of my 80s, 90s babies. You guys know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:But I have always played some form of drums, right, and I was not good. And in one of my podcast episodes a few months back, if you guys remember, I talked about having a dream where I was out of my body and I'm watching my hands down in my basement play my drum. You know my drum kit and I finally learned with my left hand and my dream how to transition my beats. And then I woke up at like four o'clock in the morning, came down to the basement, put my headphones on, plugged them into my drum set and started going to town. And it was true, I had learned then and there how to transition, and this happened to me last year. So I have elevated my skills on the drums. Actually, yesterday my husband just bought me a new Simmons bass drum you know kick drum if you will, but well, it just took the level way higher and it sounds fucking amazing and I love to make noise on those drums and it is such a stress reliever.
Speaker 1:It helps with anxiety. Music is everything. So playing an instrument to relieve anxiety was my question. And it does. It says yes. So stress relief Playing an instrument can help you achieve a flow state by providing structure, direction and immediate feedback. Improved mood Playing an instrument can enhance your mood and self-esteem, regardless of your skill level. Absolutely agree with that. Better concentration Playing an instrument requires focus and provides stimuli, which can be helpful for people with ADHD.
Speaker 1:I have suffered from ADHD my whole entire life and if anybody out there knows what I'm talking about. You know that ADHD is also in the web of depression. Because why You're so hyper? Go, go, go go. There are times that you feel underwhelmed, overwhelmed, those worlds collide, depression sets in. I can go on and on and I'm not going to do that because this is not a therapy session, you guys. But seriously, music, any form of music, it helps. It really, really really does help. All right, and this is the one that I love on here Boosted creativity.
Speaker 1:Writing music with an instrument can unlock creativity and allow for self-expression. And let me tell you, a lot of times I will bang on my drums before I do an episode, because it kind of like gets me amped up, and or play the guitar too. Or I will just listen to music, turn down the lights in the basement and just feel the music and boom, those ideas just flow through my head. So music has always helped me. I used to have to fall asleep with my headphones on, and this was back in the day when I had like an old boom box and I had these old school ass headphones that were like bigger than my own head, with a long ass, you know cord, I think they were RCA headphones, so they were like really old school, and that is the only thing that would get me to shut my brain up and get me to go to sleep. So, improved communication skills playing an instrument can help improve your communication skills. Improved emotional release playing an instrument can help improve your emotional release.
Speaker 1:Improved immune system. Now, when I read on that, I thought that was phenomenal because I did not know that. And that makes a lot of sense because, like whenever we're kind of like, when we're feeling under the weather, like you guys can still hear in my voice, I'm still getting over this cold. Unfortunately, I give it to my husband, he's been kind of under the weather, but, being the man that he is and an Aries, you know he's like a bull in the head. He just is very strong minded. He will never say I don't feel good until it's the next day. Oh, I had a horrible headache, but that's why I was strumming on my guitar over and over and over, so that I wouldn't think about my horrible headache and my nasal congestion. I'm like, holy shit, this man is like a bull in a china shop.
Speaker 1:But seriously, though, if we come down here and we just mess around with our instruments, we do feel better and even if, like, we get really tired after, because when you're sick or you're not feeling well, exhaustion kicks in a lot easier right, but even after playing those instruments you do feel better and you can go upstairs and just go to sleep. It's like amazing. It's like smoking a joint. I find it so therapeutic and so relieving. So research has shown that making music can enhance the immunological response. It releases feel-good chemicals. Music can cause the brain to release feel-good chemicals like dopamine, which can help boost your mood and shift your emotional state. Learning to play a musical instrument provides a peaceful retreat from the pressures of daily life. Therapeutic outcomes of playing music include better communication skills, improved emotional release and decreased anxiety and agitation.
Speaker 1:So something that I was talking about last night while being down in the basement, after putting back together, I should say, my whole entire drum kit, I was talking about you know the history of music therapy and it is very, very interesting and I did learn about this. This is why I say all things paranormal are strange, strange beyond insane. Had to add that in again. You guys, no pun intended. Are strange, strange beyond insane. Had to add that in again. You guys, no pun intended. Everything is intertwined and I actually learned about music therapy while being in the paranormal field. So history of this American Music Therapy Association the earliest known reference to music therapy appeared in 1789.
Speaker 1:An article in Columbian Magazine titled Music Physically Considered. When did music start being used as therapy? The earliest known reference to music therapy appeared in 1789. Music therapy appeared in 1789, and the first recorded music therapy intervention and systematic experiments in music therapy were conducted in the 1800s. In 1938, dr Altschuler initiated one of the first large-scale music therapy programs for mentally ill persons in the country at Detroit's Eloise Hospital. So I did learn about this at Eloise and I thought that was so intriguing. Eloise, you guys, is here in Michigan, in Westland. You can still visit the building. His innovative programs combined psychoanalytic techniques and music therapy methods specifically designed for use with large groups of clients, which I again, if you guys look, I mean you guys can look more into this. But you know what's funny is that I'm sitting here at my computer and I'm looking at the American history of Eloise book and it's just so funny, like it's.
Speaker 1:Like I said, it's always synchronicities with me. You know how, you guys know how I am. Call me crazy, that's fine, but I do think that everybody that we know in life and experiences are for a reason, and I believe that there is a you know, I guess synchronicity like a code through your life, and that we are all reincarnated. And I do believe that we live many lives. So I would have loved to live, even if it was just for a year, to live inside of Eloise's walls and have seen music therapy come to light the first time. You know, I think it's beautiful when you're ill or when you're dying, how music can take you away and calm you down. Okay, I had to wet my whistle Again. You guys living in Michigan, everybody has some type of cold or sinus deal going on, and unfortunately it's cold here, so we have our heat pumping and it makes everything dry, okay. So here is another article that I absolutely love, and I have talked about this over and over, just with like friends, peers, you know, family members. It's so true Creative people may be more likely to experience mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder.
Speaker 1:There is a connection between bipolar disorder and creative accomplishment. For example, vincent Van Gogh and Sylvia Plath both suffered from mood disorders and were highly creative. Depression Depression is a common mental health issue among creative people. Anxiety disorders Anxiety disorders are another mental illness that is sometimes associated with creativity. Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a mental illness that is sometimes associated with creativity. Adhd ADHD can lead to creative thinking, as the challenges of impulsive behaviors and risk-taking can also be creative. That was catchy, again, you guys. Adhd can lead to creative thinking, which is a good thing, but the challenges are being impulsive and being a risk-taker. Um, and that's I. I can definitely agree with that with creative people because you're always thinking outside the box.
Speaker 1:Somebody that is creative that does suffer from ADHD, anxiety and sometimes bouts of depression. And my depression is more like when my brain is not stimulated, and again, hence the reason why I play some music instruments, why I have podcasts, why I have friends, why I have animals around me. At all times I am very self-aware and I've just learned over the years what I have to do to take care of my own mental health. Being creative increases your risk of schizophrenia by 90. Holy shit. However, the relationship between creativity and mental illness is complex and many creative people lead emotionally stable lives. For example, some studies suggest that the rate of psychopathology is higher among prominent creators than the general population, but other studies suggest that many artists and scientists have led relatively sane lives. The preponderance of the evidence suggests that in these creative individuals, the rate of mood disorder is high and that both bipolar disorder and unipolar depression are quite common.
Speaker 1:I've never heard that word Unipolar. Unipolar, let's see, let me look that up, you guys. I have never heard that. All right, I'm looking it up right now. Unipolar meaning having a having or relating to a single pole, or kind of polarity. Um, mental health condition characterized by either depressive or manic episodes, but not both. Okay, so it has to be one or the other. I mean, I totally get this, you guys, because I have been a hairstylist, now more of a barber, my whole entire life. I am 36 years old. I have had my cosmetologist license since 2008, I believe. So like literally my whole entire life. So, being in the field of a hairstylist, slash barber, I have to say now I have to remind myself I'm more of a barber now, even though I still, you know, am a hairstylist at home one day a week.
Speaker 1:We are all creative and we are all fucked up. We are all suffering from some type of like mental illness, right, and it's usually ADHD, add. All of the above, I think every, every single human being is somewhat bipolar, right? How can you not fucking be bipolar if you're human, like there's just different extremes of it? Um, I do believe in mental health and, you know, fighting, striving whatever to better your mental health, and I, a lot of people, do need to be medicated. I understand. For me, I am such a bitchy, witty, strong-willed, tough-mind individual where I'm like no fucking way, I'm not going down, I'm not going to succumb to the system. I don't care how bad my anxiety is sometimes which, by the way, I have not had anxiety issues since COVID and just recently.
Speaker 1:The last couple of weeks I have been having physical anxiety attacks, not mental. My mental has been pretty good for the most part, but I've worked it out and I'm like I'm not, I'm, I got to deal with that. You know, take a shower. Oh, by the way, you guys anybody who has had anxiety attack or suffers from anxiety make sure to really keep in mind that when you're having anxiety and you feel that burst of coldness like, where you feel really, really super cold, do not take a scolding hot shower. And I know this right, and that happened to me last week and I was like I'm just going to jump in a really hot shower I'll feel better, and of course, the water was literally scalding hot, like hot enough to. I guess you can say, you know, shuffle up demons inside, and I know better not to do that. And I did that and yeah, and my anxiety was way worse and it lasted for about four hours. So, yeah, not fun.
Speaker 1:I have a lot of friends that suffer from anxiety and depression too, and the more that you're open about it and the more that you talk to people like, everybody has some type of disorder, I do believe, too, that we all suffer from some type of form of autism, and it is not taboo anymore, and being autistic is not like, oh no, you can't function, or your brain is weird or bad, or you know you can't be a civilized adult or child. It has nothing to do with that. I truly believe. The more and more we uncover, the more you see that a lot of people have some type of autistic trait, and I think that also, you know, is a web, a slew of, I guess, mixture of mental illness too. Right, all right.
Speaker 1:So moving forward, why do creative people struggle so much? So the first one that comes up is self-doubt. Creative work often involves vulnerability and many people struggle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome, questioning their abilities and worth, rejection and criticism. Creatives frequently encounter rejection or negative feedback which can be demoralizing and lead them to abandon their projects. And, unfortunately, sometimes you just cannot turn off the creativity, and I totally feel that Many artists struggle with the world around them, wishing that it could stop, and it could stop spinning for just a few minutes so they can catch their breath. And I do understand that this is often a maddening, maddening cycle that leads to substance abuse, depression or even psychotic breaks. That is a very weird word to say maddening. It's been said that the line between genius and madness is a very thin one.
Speaker 1:Highly creative people often possess what is called sensory processing sensitivity, also known as SPS. This is the inability to tune out the noise of some everyday work environments. So all of my people out there, my tribe, that are intuitive, empathetic, we all suffer from some form of SPS. We are all alike in that cloth, I'll say I believe that many creatives suffer from SPS. There you go. It's the very reason why they are good at their craft.
Speaker 1:When a writer is writing or a painter is painting or a musician is making music. They are within their art. In the act of creating, these artists are channeling that hypersensitivity into their work. The result is a full immersion of energy and talent in the creation of something wonderful. The hypersensitivity actually gives the artist the inspiration and vision that they need to bring life into their work 1000%. But then the creative session ends, so does the ability to channel the hyper input that is being taken in by their sensory receptors sight, sound, smell, touch, etc. Sps returns in full force once the act of creation ends. I fucking feel this in my bones. I literally do. It's very ironic and bittersweet to think that the very thing that moves us to create beauty in this world may also be the force that, when left unchecked, will drive us to madness or even death. Yeah, and again, I can see that. I can totally see that. I think that's why a lot of these creators that create content out there, why a lot of them, are ending their lives or just completely evading life because they can't handle it. And there's a lot of pressure on you Now to end this episode on such a fun note.
Speaker 1:This is one of my most favorite movies, although I have not watched it in a long, long time. I always find myself referencing quotes. Okay, and that is Alice in Wonderland, and I can still see myself being, I don't know, six or seven, maybe even eight years old. I forget the exact age, but I was little, being at my great grandmother's nursing home, watching this on VHS and just thinking, wow, this is so much fun. And, like, the potency of it hits me even harder as an adult, and I I really really love the quote. So some of my favorite quotes I'm going to go over, okay, and the first, most popular, is I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person. Then Alice makes a statement while experiencing an identity crisis. So, as an adult, we can really really butt up to this and know that this is a real thing, right? Of course we're all mad here. Everything's got a moral. If only you can find it. If I had a role of my own, everything would be nonsense. That is probably actually my favorite, and again, that refers to this podcast, because it is not just nonsense, but it's crazy, it's fun, right, so I love that.
Speaker 1:Some say to survive it, you need to be as mad as a hatter. The mad hatter says this the secret, alice, is to surround yourself with people who make your heart smile. It's then, only then, that you will find Wonderland, and I love that. If that is not the truest statement about life as a kid or an adult, or both, I don't know what else is. You have to find and realize your tribe, right. You have to, you know, you have to be stimulated by those around you. You have to, you know, have good thoughts, right. It's basically like taking shrooms and being around the happiest people. You're going to have a great trip, right. But if you take shrooms and then you're around negative Nancys, you're probably going to have a bad trip.
Speaker 1:And of course, I had to say that because Alice in Wonderland, I mean, it is a trippy ass movie, right, all right. So to end it, what is the main moral of Alice in Wonderland? I mean, it is a trippy ass movie, right, all right. So to end it. What is the main moral of Alice in Wonderland? While Alice's adventure might seem mad on the surface, its main goal is answering the caterpillar's question and figuring out the greatest puzzle of all who in the world am I? Life can also seem mad, but by discovering who we are and accepting ourselves, it assures a much smoother ride through our own journey. I love that.

Let us know, tell us what you did like, what you didn't like, give us your experiences, tell us a fun story that you want us to, you know, talk about on the show. But again, you guys. Thank you and tune in for some more.
