Denise Devenish - Help and Drugs and Rock and Roll

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

-------------------

Hey kids

I love the chat I had this week the lovely Denise Devenish, a counsellor (slightly different from a therapist) who works predominantly with people from the music industry.

Here we go deep as we discuss the pressure around tolerance for booze, drugs and hedonism around music culture and how hard musicians can find it to reach out for help. I really enjoyed hearing about Denise's approach to helping people with their mental health, and I hope that our more general chat around all the different types of counselling and therapy is useful to someone out there.

You can find Denise on Instagram where she is @dd.counselling

You can find the Campaign Against Living Miserably here:

Another good place to start exploring theraputic options is MIND, which is here:

About the Podcast

Stupid Hearts Club

The podcast community for the stupid hearted!

I'm Nico. Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club Podcast. Allow me tell you a little about the show....

In Summer 2021 after having such lovely feedback from Matt Morgans gorgeous Patrons I decided to start my very own podcast. It started out exclusively here on Patreon, but now it's out in the wild for everyone to hear! I initially called it GSOH and I (usually) delivered one podcast per week. It has become a really cool thing in my life and my community of patrons are legends who give lots of me ace feedback and love. And it helps me support my creative endeavours during the peaks and troughs of the TV comedy world, (script writing is my main 'job').

Since then I have doing lots of music with the name Stupid Hearts Club, and as I am going to be out and about trying to pull people into enjoying all of 'my stuff' I thought I would re-brand (puke) my podcast as Stupid Hearts Club too in the hope of pulling in the odd new listener. Is that YOU? If so Hello, come in, sit down.

You might be wondering what having a 'Stupid Heart' is. Well it can mean many things. It might mean you have a silly sense of humour, and like titting about and being naughty. (which is what this show is) It might mean that you are a hopeless romantic fool despite all the terrible evidence that love is a cruel joke that pokes you in your stupid heart (which is what all my songs are). Either way everyone with a stupid heart is welcome here.

The podcast itself will still be me having a laugh with another person I have met along the way, whether they are funny, interesting, daft, or just plain adorable. But I won't just chat to comedy people anymore. And I will *usually* put a little Stupid Hearts Club tune or cover at the end of the episode.

I'll shut up now. But whatever you are here for, thanks for coming along!

Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby!
