Mental Health Comedy

Brett Newski is a musician and Alt. Rocker from Milwaukee who writes songs about Anxiety, Depression, Mental Health and other joys. He’s also an Illustrator with a new book called “It’s Hard to be A Person.” He’s been touring all over the world for years, has many albums, songs, media, tour dates and merch; which you should check out here: https://brettnewski.com/. We talked about being aware that there are highs and lows and that just knowing that makes riding the roller coaster a little easier. We talk about what happens if you’re the kind of person who picks up a lot of other people’s energy, especially if you’re a performer like Brett, how do you take care of yourself? And Jennifer shares a technique you can use where you put your palms together and cross your legs and it’s a way that immediately locks down the energy around you. We also talked about Brett’s dad who is a high energy, very positive person and how sometimes it’s important to meet people’s energy where they are, and how Brett navigates that. So, it seems like this is the energy show. There is also a road story that involves a motel, maybe in Southeast Asia where there was a lot of blood in the room. I may be getting it wrong, so listen for the blood section. One of the things I really likes about Brett is his honesty about where he’s at, and a courage, like he’s not really ever a victim. It’s his tone of voice, it’s really unique. Listen if you get a chance. There’s also some weird sound going on with my mic. I must have hit the wrong button or something. My tech, my research is second to everyone.
