Episode 123 - Balancing a Music Career and Personal Life with Matteson Gregory

As artists, we’re constantly finding ways to create a healthy balance between our music careers and personal lives, though this isn’t always easy. I’m delighted to welcome Matteson Gregory back to the show for an outstanding conversation about this complex topic. The quote for this episode is by Jana Kingsford: “Balance is not something you find; it’s something you create.” During our conversation, Matteson and I talk about creating a healthy balance and how this is different for everyone, making changes when things are out of balance, taking breaks for self care and mental health, setting ourselves up for maximum creativity and productivity, the unique reality artists have when it comes to separating our personal and professional lives, having a balanced schedule, setting boundaries, not crossing personal lives in professional situations, building a social media presence based on a comfort level with what to share, being mindful with business relationships and industry friends, and much more. We also chat about Matteson’s single, “Have You Seen My Friends?” I loved having Matteson back on the show, so I hope it inspires you to create a stronger balance in your life.
