High Self-Esteem = Better Mixes?

In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu dive deep into the relationship between self-esteem, insecurity, and communication in the studio. Beyond gear and plugin chains, your ability to collaborate, accept feedback, and maintain emotional stability may be the real secret to becoming a trusted professional. We explore how low self-esteem can lead to defensiveness, people-pleasing, or creative burnout — and how building authentic confidence can improve client relationships, reduce revision stress, and elevate the quality of your work. Whether you're just starting out or trying to level up your freelance career, this conversation is packed with insight, vulnerability, and practical advice.
