Dead Mic Society

Without mistakes, there is no learning. 
Without learning, there is no change.

Feel the anxiety and do it anyway.
Being kind to yourself – at least try. Let that be enough!

What is Dead Mic Society?

Dead Mic Society is a creative-wellness series about survival, specifically, the everyday habits that keep us from breaking. Each session blends spoken word, meditation, and music-driven reflection to explore what it means to endure, to heal, and to rebuild your voice when the world goes quiet.

This space was created for those who have lived through silence, pressure, expectations, or pain—and are learning to breathe, feel, speak, and exist again.

The Heart of the Sessions

Every episode centers on a Habit of Survival, the instinctive ways people learn to cope, protect themselves, or stay afloat when life gets heavy. Dead Mic Society transforms those habits from unconscious reflexes into intentional rituals that can be practiced, refined, and shared. Through sound, breath, story, rhythm, and reflection, the series invites you to shift survival from something automatic into something deliberate, embodied, and communal.

Survival is not passive. It is creative. It shows up in every small act of new habit formed, persistence, every journal entry, every pause, every time you choose to show up.

Dead Mic Society was inspired by the truth - The Couch: speaking up, writing, or simply being present is a rebellion against silence - Trauma. Each session is an offering of a space to practice presence, to witness your own aliveness, and to turn pain into process.

The Habits of Survival

These sessions explore the rituals, reflexes, and creative acts we develop to make it through:

  • Showing up even when it hurts

  • Turning pain into rhythm or language

  • Using the mic as a witness, not a weapon

  • Finding rest inside resistance

  • Choosing creation instead of collapse

 

Creativity + Advocacy

Dead Mic Society exists at the intersection of:

Mental Health • Storytelling • Music • Mindfulness • Community

This is where expression meets healing.
Where stories are honored, not polished.
Where silence is broken - gently, creatively, and together.

What You’ll Find Here

We tell stories that support healing.

New Sessions are released every week on YouTube.
Because some narration - some stories - save lives.
