Ever wondered how anxiety and creativity intersect? Join us as we sit down with the multi-talented Jerzy Jung, who opens up about her personal battles with anxiety, fear, and shame in the world of performing arts. Discover how the devastating loss of her father to cancer became a turning point in her mental health journey and creative endeavors. As we discuss the art of accepting compliments as gifts rather than dismissals, we explore the powerful impact of therapy and the shift in societal attitudes towards mental health from the late 90s to today.
Reflect on the enduring nature of anxiety with us, as Jerzy shares insights from her essay "Everything Will Kill You: Anxiety, Fear, and Shame on Stage." Growing up in a loving family didn’t shield her from the burden of hiding her anxieties, mistakenly believing they were uniquely hers. As we navigate through her stories, we uncover the hereditary aspect of anxiety and the importance of self-kindness and humor in managing mental health challenges. From childhood fears to the irrational worries amplified by shame, we learn how to focus on what can be controlled in the present.
Finally, we delve into the transformative power of music as a means of connection and self-discovery. Jerzy’s journey through grief and healing emphasizes the importance of showing up authentically, especially in creative pursuits like songwriting. With host Gabriel Nathan as a comforting anchor, we unpack the complexities of grief, control, and acceptance. This episode serves as a heartfelt reminder of the importance of presence, authenticity, and embracing our true selves, even amidst life's inevitable hardships.
