THE PODCAST

SEASON 1:

This podcast is for creatives at the crossroads between chronic anxiety and creative fulfillment.

If you struggle with creative blocks, inconsistency, or getting started because of anxiety, you’ll find something here.

I’m preparing for my cabaret debut in 2027 and sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a creative life while learning to support my nervous system.

Some episodes explore the realities of being a performer with anxiety, along with the lessons and tools helping me stay in it. Others are more reflective and personal.

If you’re trying to balance anxiety, creativity, and a full life—you’re in the right place.

Hey! I’m Greg…

I’m a cabaret artist in the midst of a full midlife reinvention, preparing to debut my first show in March 2027 while building the mind, body, and nervous system to sustain a performing life. Through my podcast and Instagram, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of starting cabaret at 56, including the fears, hard lessons, breakthroughs, and the work of overcoming severe anxiety while staying sober.
