A Program Built by Songwriters, for Songwriters
In the music industry, success can often come at a high personal cost. Many creatives face immense pressure, living by metrics and achievements while often working behind the scenes. Our Creatives Support Network works to address these unique stressors, creating a network of support and mentorship that can help writers continue producing great work without sacrificing their well-being.
Services are available to those who are a professional songwriter with documented commercially released songs.
Does this sound like you?
Guiding you to your fullest potential
It’s no secret that life in the music industry creates high levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout. Studies show that those in the creative sector are 3x more likely to face mental health challenges than the general population. According to MusiCares recent Wellness in Music Survey:
- 47% of musicians attribute financial insecurity to high levels of stress and anxiety
- 53% note that their earnings have not stabilized post pandemic
- 69% say they are not able to meet their financial needs comfortable through work in music alone
- 8% of musicians reported having thoughts of suicide (higher than the national average of 5%)
Whether you are struggling to juggle everything coming at you or simply want to optimize life with renewed vision, meaning, and purpose, this program will help you disconnect in order to reconnect to what really matters.
“Success doesn’t mean much if you’re not okay. I want to help songwriters make time to care for themselves, because without that, we’re not showing up fully in our work or lives.”
– Ashley Gorley

“I’ve been at the intersection of Music and Mental Wellness for the better part of my career and have experienced firsthand the challenges and opportunities facing today’s creatives.
