✨The Venice Family Clinic Heart Gala this month was a truly inspiring showing of generosity for a tremendously important cause: providing free healthcare to individuals in need, regardless of insurance status. 🙏 I want to thank @venicefamilyclinic for inviting my family and close friends to attend and contribute to their amazing work, serving the Los Angeles community! ❤️ I also want to send a big thank you to my parents Kenny & Gina Dusick for introducing us to this vital organization, to my old friend from Brentwood High School Ben Cherney and his lovely wife @jennacherney for coming along with us to support the cause, and, of course, to my beautiful date @ashleyvanegeren for being the life of the party as usual! And thanks to @bibhumohapatra for her fabulous outfit. She got compliments all night! And believe it or not, I was wearing a suit I wore to the Grammys 20 years ago 😉 If you’re feeling generous and inspired, I highly recommend donating to the @venicefamilyclinic . With so many people struggling to afford quality healthcare these days, this is an organization you can trust is actually helping people get the care they so desperately need. Make a difference today! 🙏❤️ #gala #event #venicefamilyclinic #charity #donate

We always have the best time at @thenammshow ! Last week, MITC presented two panel sessions in collaboration with @we_are_esta , focusing on mental health and psychological safety within touring environments. Our first session, Mental Health in Groups: Supporting Each Other on Tour, explored how group dynamics can affect individuals on the road, and the vital role of peer-to-peer support in touring settings. MITC psychotherapists @jodimilsteinlmft_lpcc , @whitneyomalleypsychotherapy , and @ryan_michael_dusick shared practical, stigma-free strategies for recognising early warning signs, listening effectively, and guiding colleagues towards appropriate support, with the aim of safeguarding crew wellbeing before challenges escalate. Our second panel addressed Psychological Safety on Tour, one of the most pressing topics facing the live industry today. We were delighted to be joined by tour manager @tinafarristours , alongside MITC psychotherapists Whitney O’Malley, @_intunewellness , and @leily_labuda_therapy . The discussion focused on how touring teams can create psychologically safe and inclusive environments under intense pressure: spaces where people feel able to speak up, share knowledge, ask questions, and learn from mistakes without fear. Also, Amanda Wheeler Flotlin represented MITC at the She Rocks Awards and had a terrific night meeting inspiring people with a commitment to improving mental health awareness in the industry. We’re deeply grateful to NAMM, ESTA and SheROCKS for creating space for these important conversations, and to our panellists for their insight, care, and leadership.

For our second panel in collaboration with our friends at @we_are_esta at @thenammshow , we’re turning our attention to Mental Health in Groups: Supporting Each Other On Tour 🎶🚌 Join MITC psychotherapists @jodimilsteinlmft_lpcc , @whitneyomalleypsychotherapy , and @ryan_michael_dusick for a discussion which will explore some of the ways that group dynamics can evolve and affect individuals, focusing on peer-to-peer support in high-stress touring environments - including how to spot early warning signs in those around us, listen effectively, and guide colleagues towards help before issues escalate. You’ll leave with practical, stigma-free tools for building supportive team cultures and protecting crew wellbeing on the road. 📍 Hilton Capistrano AB | Sat 24 Jan | 14:00–13:00 #NAMM #ESTA #TouringLife #MentalHealth #CrewWellbeing #LiveMusic #TouringCrew #PeerSupport

As the calendar turns to 2026, @ryan_michael_dusick and I have come to a crossroads regarding the @hardertobreathepodcast . Maintaining a weekly podcast for 2 years and over 70 episodes has been a full-time job in and of itself, and the reality is that Ryan and I already have those. And while this show was always a labor of love, whose goal was to help others and have those necessary conversations about mental health, it was also important to us to produce an entertaining , professional product. With increasingly busy schedules and changing priorities, it became clear that maintaining that pace and quality was not going to be feasible, so rather than give our audience anything but our best, we have decided to take a break from producing the podcast at this time. So while this is not officially a “goodbye” episode, it is a chance for us to talk about why we’re pressing “pause” for the time being, look back on all the things we’ve learned doing the show, and share our gratitude for everyone who came along on this journey and listened. We love you and are eternally grateful for all the love and support you have shown us over the past few years. Keep breathing.

Forget resolutions for a moment. Let’s talk about evolution. It’s easy to judge older generations for being “practical” or lacking the reckless abandon of youth. But perspective changes as life experience deepens. That shift isn’t about losing energy—it’s about gaining wisdom. If we stay open, time doesn’t harden us… it refines us. Growth is inevitable—and that’s a good thing. 🥂 Here’s to evolving in the New Year. 🎧 Catch the full Holiday Special episode of The Harder To Breathe Podcast now! #lifeexperience #perspectiveshift #podcastlife #hardertobreathe

When you look at old age through the lens of your 20s, it looks like you're losing everything you care about. But here’s the secret: what you care about changes. We’re so focused on what we lose with time, but we rarely talk about what we gain: perspective, peace, and a shift in priorities. Aging isn't a decline; it's an evolution. Are you optimistic about what life has to offer down the road? Let us know in the comments! 👇 🎧 Catch the full Holiday Special episode of The Harder To Breathe Podcast now! #longevity #biohacking #aginggracefully #mindfulness #podcastlife #hardertobreathe

We all picture that “perfect” holiday gathering… but reality? Messy, loud, and full of people who push your buttons. This clip dives into handling family triggers. Instead of wishing your family was different, be the calm in the chaos. Be part of the solution, not the stress. ❤️✨ 🎧 Catch the full Holiday Special episode of The Harder To Breathe Podcast now! #HolidayStress #FamilyDynamics #MentalHealthMatters #Mindfulness #PodcastLife #HarderToBreathe #SeasonFinale #Gratitude #RealTalk #HolidaySeason

A true throwback film reel from my band days! This is the raw energy and chaos where it all began. Getting tattooed, recording in the studio, and living on the green couch. The journey itself was the reward. I wouldn’t trade those years for anything. 💬 What’s a song from your past that perfectly captures your youth? Drop the title below! 👇 #Throwback #BandLife #SpokewithKate #Maroon5 #Vintage #MusicJourney
