You Never Forget Your First

Picture yourself at a music festival, the bass thumping through the crowd, but instead of excitement, you feel overwhelmed by anxiety or sensory overload. This is where 'Clear Mind Events' steps in. In this episode, hosts Andi Horner, Eric Smith, and Tara Knudsen dive into their mission to create safe spaces at live music events for those grappling with mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, PTSD, autism, and addiction.

The episode sheds light on the unique struggles faced by individuals with these conditions and how Covid-19 impacted Clear Mind Events' operations. You'll hear from guests who share their personal experiences and reflections, highlighting the importance of community engagement and the role of Clear Mind Events in supporting veterans with PTSD. The conversation also touches on the benefits of taking ownership of one's recovery journey and the necessity of having safe spaces and exits at live events.

The hosts discuss the added challenge of socializing and communicating with facial coverings, a reality many of us have had to adapt to. As Eric Smith puts it, 'If it helps one person, just hang in there, then it was worth it'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in making live music more inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.
