In this deeply personal solo episode of Music Is My Mantra, I open up about my journey with alcohol, my father’s battle with alcoholism, and the story behind my song “Save Yourself.”
This conversation is an invitation to look inward—with compassion—and consider the ways we cope, what we normalize, and the courage it takes to break generational cycles.
As part of my re-released EP for Mental Health Awareness Month, “Save Yourself” is more than a song—it’s a plea, a boundary, and a spiritual declaration of self-worth and surrender.
If you or someone you love has been impacted by alcohol misuse, this episode is for you. You are not alone—and you are allowed to save yourself.
Episode Highlights:
- The real story behind “Save Yourself”
- How alcoholism shaped my childhood and adulthood
- What I learned through Al-Anon and setting boundaries
- Why I stopped drinking—and how it changed everything
- Signs you may be using alcohol as a coping mechanism
Takeaways:
- Alcohol abuse isn’t always loud—but it is always damaging
- Songwriting can be a path to clarity, grief processing, and emotional freedom
- Watching someone self-destruct doesn’t mean you have to go down with them
- Saving yourself isn’t selfish—it’s sacred
- True healing begins with honesty
