    We’ve all had these moments pictured below but how do you bounce back? TONIGHT on the Canada Wide DJ Call (CWDJC) - A DJ talk that goes deeper - Behind The DJ Booth - Mental Health In The Spotlight. The truth is… even behind the decks, under the lights, and surrounded by the hype — there are moments when it all feels heavy.

    That voice in your head that says, “You’re not good enough.”

    The set that didn’t go how you hoped

    That one drunk person just keeps getting on your nerves thinking they know how to DJ better than you

    The night you smiled on the outside while falling apart inside.

    Tonight, Tuesday, July 8 at 8 PM EST, Amanda Stuhl - President of the CPDJA and professional motivational speaker, is honoured to speak at the Canada Wide DJ Call on a topic we don’t talk about enough in this industry: Mental Health. Some topic covered and discussed will be:

    Overcoming negative self-talk

    How to bounce back when nerves take over

    What to do to bounce back mentally when the event doesn’t go how you wanted it to or things in life just seem to heavy - when you’re smiling on the outside but secretly dying inside. 

    We all hit low notes. But strength isn’t pretending you’re okay when you aren’t. Strength is leaning in each other for support. Tonight, let’s do that. 

    Whether you’re a seasoned vet or just starting out, I hope you’ll join the CWDJC tonight. Let’s lift each other up — because no one should have to DJ through the darkness alone.

    Canada Wide DJ Call

    July 8 @ 8 PM EST (5 pm BC, 6 pm AB & SK, 7 pm MB, 8 pm ON & QB, 9 pm East Coast, 9:30 pm Newfoundland)
