Episode notes
Social Media Remade How Artists Break
- Social media transformed the music industry by creating direct discovery and audience-building, accelerating during COVID when people were on their phones constantly.
- This change broadened access for artists but shifted how artists are discovered and judged, altering business and creative norms.
How Music Helped Manage Childhood Tourette's
- Jennifer Hart used music, Chinese acupuncture, and her mother's prayer group to manage Tourette's, OCD, and severe social anxiety diagnosed at age 10.
- She shifted toward worship personally but pursued country music professionally to connect about mental health and relationships.
Name Intrusive Thoughts To Reduce Power
- Label intrusive thoughts as OCD when they give obsessive meaning and disrupt life, then use that recognition to move on instead of feeding them.
- Jennifer recommends practicing this awareness and distinguishing OCD from normal thoughts before acting.
