🎙️ 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. 💚🎶
