A year in music and mental health
A return.
Starting in the summer of 2025, I knew I needed to reconnect with myself and my roots. A lot had changed since the fall of 2024, and I was coming out of a haze of grief and adjustment.
I went to a few live music shows in Denver, and I realized how much I missed being involved in this world. I also remembered the artists we have lost to substance use and mental health issues. As a ’90s girl, I watched a lot of our musical heroes die tragically. As someone from a music family, I am intimately familiar with the challenges of this industry. I felt pulled to help improve mental health care in music and in myself.
Follow this wild journey with me.
