Studio B. Episode 8 - Feeling Good As Hell w/ guest Ryan Langlois

Ryan Langlois was perfect for this episode! He's a country/roots/rock singer/songwriter and is the founder and doer of #youdonotwalkalone campaign over the last two years in partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association! This episode is very open, honest and everything he says is beautifully worded. I loved re-listening to this episode! 
We discuss mental health as an independent or emerging artist and  how important your mental wellbeing is and how to deal with some of the tougher "no's," the tougher shows, the tougher days as an artist. We talk about the constant battle of "Am I good enough?," validation, how to handle criticism and constructive criticism, comparing progress of other musicians/artists/bands and others in the industry. We touch on body and image issues. Financial stress. Pain creates art. we discuss how to deal with lots of travel and tours and weird schedules. We touch on burn out. Drugs and alcohol use and actually how alcohol is being used less. How to balance out the really big highs and the really big lows. Of course we talk about resources and course of action - there is hope! We're all excited to feature his song, "This Is My HomeYou can find Ryan and his music on all social media platforms and all of his music also on Spotify, Apple, Google and anywhere you get your music!
