Amythyst Kiah on psychic sovereignty, success envy, and the self-improvement doom loop.

Grammy-nominated songwriter Amathyst Kiah has performed with Moby and Billy Strings, and is a member of the supergroup Our Native Daughters. She joins us for a startlingly honest look at the "farce of surface-level success". After a label debut and a whirlwind of global exposure, she found herself "barely hanging on for dear life" amidst the pressure of a rat race industry. We explore her journey to achieve a detachment from outcomes, writing for sync as a creative recharge, and the ancient wisdom that helped her trade the self-improvement doom loop for a slower, sustainable creative life.
