Psychotherapist and songwriter Bill O’Hanlon (is back again!) and he joins us with J4, a multi-instrumentalist, artist & producer as we discuss their collaborative album ‘Being of Sound Mind,’ which explores mental health themes through music. They share insights on the creative process, mental health journeys, the power of music and how it fosters understanding and healing.

And if there’s one thing they hope this album brings it’s this: “Let me reassure your soul that someone knows you, let me reassure your soul that someone cares.” ~ Essra Mohawk

Follow them to support this important project and get updates on their upcoming album release (coming October 2026)!

Listen to Anxiety here: https://open.spotify.com/track/3yt05ryHcNcsFTSLTOP4z6?si=6e66065399df4e13&nd=1&dlsi=eff5e9a0836c4459

A note from Bill & J4 about Anxiety:

Anxiety. When it comes on strong, you want to be anywhere but in your skin. It can torture you with insomnia, panic attacks, phobias and other daily sufferings. As a psychotherapist for 40+ years, it was perhaps the most common issue I saw.
I suffered from anxiety myself. Shy and anxious as a child and, as an adult, social phobia, a severe phobia of dogs that kept me homebound for a while and other forms that hampered my daily life.
It took me some years to overcome my anxiety. Hence this song. It was the first J4 and I wrote for this project, after we had a discussion about how common this was for younger people these days.

One of the things music can do is to validate your experience. Help you feel seen and get a sense you are not alone. We hope this song does that for you. by @realnatalieotto

@backstagenashville never disappoints! So amazing to watch one of my favorite songwriters (@kendell_marvel ) play a song he wrote for one of my favorite artists (@chrisstapleton )! @sarahbuxton , I wish we were friends because you get me! (IYKYK - the more estrogen I lose the less I give a sh*t!) @tylerreeve was HILARIOUS and @bayleelynnmusic at the sweet age of 18 killed it with her song “John , Dear”! My heart is full! ❤️👏👏 by @realnatalieotto
