The ability to execute and show up and write well and tell the truth and be consistently, you know, to be able to show up at your gig every time and to be able to perform and to be able to play your instrument well and remember all your equipment, not just artistically, but the ability to actually execute your artistic vision, is so much easier in recovery.
Ever wondered if getting sober would put a damper on your creative spark? In this episode, Nanci Adair sits down with Kathy Moser, an award-winning songwriter and performer who's been in long-term recovery, to chat about the fascinating link between sobriety and creativity. Kathy, the founder of Music for Recovery, has been using music to aid recovery for over 12 years, creating more than 800 songs with clients that have been streamed over 52,000 times.
Through her personal journey and professional work, Kathy debunks the myth that drugs and alcohol are essential for creativity. Instead, she shares how sobriety has actually fueled her artistic expression and made her creative process more authentic and sustainable. You'll hear about the messy, awkward first year of her recovery and how it ultimately led to deeper connections and more genuine art.
The conversation touches on self-care for artists, the power of music in healing, and the importance of sharing personal stories in recovery. Whether you're an artist in recovery or just curious about how sobriety can impact creativity, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to discover how creativity can flourish without substances and why recovery might just be the best thing for your artistic soul.
