This event is sponsored by Finessed Media, Inc. and hosted by Dani Vongsamphanh.
Working in the music industry can be a challenge on your physical and mental well-being. It's essential to understand how the industry affects our complex mental health: how do we balance our relationship with our ambitious careers and what can we do on our own to prioritize self-care? The tortured artist trope is no more.
This event features a panel of experts who will discuss strategies for managing creativity, career, anxiety and relationships. To end Women's History Month, Finessed Media will be addressing the mental health of women in the music industry and teach you steps on how to practice a more mindful state-of-being.
We will be joined by:
Emily Kessler - Meditation Teacher
Rosana Corbacho - Psychologist, Music Industry Therapist Collective (MITC) & Founder, M.I. Therapy
Alexi Rabadam - Founder & CEO, Finessed Media, Inc.
