FORMERLY "MENTAL HEALTH MONDAZE". The official podcast of LA based musician Frankie IV. "Am I Crazy?" is a place to come when you're feeling just that: crazy. An unfiltered look into the world of pop culture, music, art, mental health, and all the things we experience as humans on this strange spinning rock in space. The daily things that have us asking ourselves if we're crazy. Spoiler alert, you can't be the crazy one if everyone's crazy, and they are.
Stay tuned for guests, musical performances, and all other kinds of stuff I haven't come up with yet.

After a long reset the pod is back. And a lot has happened. Meditation has changed everything for me, also I'm being (personally) attacked by flies, and family is wonderful, but difficult.

#7 - Judgement Day (00:56:03)
Our fear of judgement from others comes from our constant judgment of ourselves. Lose that! Plus, I share my prized possession. Also, I bet your ego is big...

#5 - Closure (Isn't Real) (01:02:12)
Had a lot of fun stuff going on this week. But I also realized it isn't smart to wait to get "closure" before we move on with our lives. Plus, I think I discovered I'm not actually an introvert and I've just been lying to myself lol. And a surprise music lesson?

#4 - Depersonalization (01:00:10)
I keep going back to gratitude being the most important thing to keeping my mind right currently. Also, it's almost baseball season and I'm very happy about it which is cool because life doesn't always have to be serious. I also dive into my experiences with depersonalization disorder.

#3 - Vultures (01:02:07)
Listened to Vultures... I have opinions. Can we separate the art from the artist? Should we? Am I also a genius? I don't know... but I'm learning to always be myself.

Stage Fright (01:00:00)
Took a week to breathe and reset. After another performance this week I reflect on why I think I keep getting so nervous and how I can overcome it. Plus, don't forget to do something nice for yourself every once in a while.

Focusing On The Moment (01:01:53)
This episode really has everything. And absolutely nothing. But somehow I come to the importance of staying in the moment. The past is but a memory, and the future is an unknown - the only thing we can be sure of is NOW.

Just Say Yes (01:02:17)
The need to control everything in our path can often compel us to say "NO" to moments and opportunities that would ultimately enrich our lives. My solution recently has been simple: Just Say Yes.

Buy In (01:04:47)
Life is good! And I'm finally starting to accept that. But I think the reason I'm at that place now is from buying in to all the changes I've made. Plus I describe my most recent struggles with depersonalization. Not fun.

This week marked the 14th anniversary of my father's death, so I reflected on what the process of grief has been like for me and how it has evolved over the years. Plus: perspective, priorities, and the filter of life.

Just celebrated my 29th birthday and it really forced me to reflect on what this decade of my life has meant. Also, just take that leap of faith. It's worth it 100% of the time.

We Need Answers (01:08:30)
Excited to announce my upcoming show with Breaking Sound at Madame Siam on April 11th! Spring is in the air and it has me feeling great. But I felt I had the need to speak on this past week's tragedy in Nashville and how it all relates back to mental health. We need answers...

Spontaneity (01:01:48)
Maaaaaan this week was a doozy. Car broke down...twice. Plus, is channeling what someone you lost might say (in terms of advice) kind of like a built in AI inside your head? Also, having the ability to improvise is key.

Inner Child (01:01:25)
Are we really living in the craziest time in human history, or are we just exposed to everything more than ever before? Plus, spending some time with my inner child this week really helped me get out of the dark spot I've been in recently. And do I love or hate the grocery store?

Childhood Trauma & Letting Go (01:02:56)
Lately I've been having trouble accepting where I'm at in life and remembering that you're always right where you're supposed to be at any given moment. Also, I experienced a sound bath for the first time. Plus, our childhood traumas can come back to us at the strangest times, but they are always a good lesson in letting go.
