THE PODCAST

SEASON 1:

This show is for creatives who are at a crossroads between chronic anxiety and creative fulfillment.

If you struggle with creative blocks or just getting started because of anxiety, this podcast is for you.

I’m currently preparing for my cabaret debut in 2027. I’m taking a year to prepare and figure out how to support my nervous system as I build a life as a cabaret artist.

Some weeks I’ll talk about the reality of being a performer with chronic anxiety, share behind the scenes of preparing for a cabaret debut, the lessons I’m learning, and the tools that are keeping me from abandoning everything. Other weeks, I’ll invite other creatives to share their perspectives and the tools they use to stay consistent.

So, if you’re a creative who’s trying to juggle anxiety, creativity, and a personal life—you’re in the right place.

Hey! I’m Greg…

I’m a cabaret artist and business coach 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.
