Chelsey Kucera, was going through a mental health crisis when she wrote &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4FaH1HcGG3k\" target=\"_blank\">She Is Brave,<\/a>&#8221; but the tune ended up becoming her &#8220;mantra during that time period,&#8221; the singer exclusively tells <em>GRAZIA USA<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure what exactly inspired me. I was just messing around on my guitar one day and what needed to come out of me that day did. After I <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/rege-jean-page-singing\/\">wrote the song<\/a>, I sang it to help me get started with my day,&#8221; she continues.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chelsey Ann- She Is Brave (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4FaH1HcGG3k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The country star has struggled with anxiety and depression disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder, Panic Disorder and PTSD for most of her life. In June 2020, she hit a breaking point and attempted to take her own life. She then went to a mental health rehabilitation center where she was able to find herself again, which is how &#8220;She Is Brave&#8221; was born. &#8220;I now view this song as an uplifting, empowering <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/mya-is-coming-to-australia\/\">song for all women<\/a>,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Since releasing the song so many women have opened up to me about their struggles and how this song has helped them as well. There&#8217;s no better feeling than someone else resonating with your music and feeling like you made a difference in their life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These days, the blonde beauty is candid about discussing issues that people are going through because &#8220;there are so many misconceptions around these topics,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;For instance, before I opened up about this, no one had any idea how bad I was feeling on the inside. They would say things to me like, &#8216;You&#8217;re such a calm person&#8217; and &#8216;You seem like you have it all together,&#8217; when in fact I was falling apart and riddled with anxiety. You never know what someone is going through on the inside and if you&#8217;re like me you&#8217;re really good at masking it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61881\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61881\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-61881 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/08\/thumbnail_Image-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1892\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amber Geist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She adds, &#8220;By being open about my life and struggles I hope to help people feel less alone. If they are going through a situation where they need help, I hope by myself being vulnerable that they will find the strength to be vulnerable as well and seek help. I feel like we&#8217;ve come far in the past couple of years, but I think if we continue to be open with one another and willing to help those around us who are hurting we will continue to do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, the songwriter uses music &#8220;as a form of <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/famous-women-dealing-with-anxiety\/\">therapy in some ways<\/a>,&#8221; she says. &#8220;Putting my emotions into song helps me exert my anxious energy and come back to my body. I always feel lighter after a writing session.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She adds, &#8220;My favorite part about being in the music industry is making connections with people. As songwriters we become very vulnerable with each other, and I think it is truly something special. The people I&#8217;m around are constantly inspiring me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61880\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61880\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-61880 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/08\/thumbnail_Image-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"801\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61880\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amber Geist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for what&#8217;s next, Chelsey is &#8220;working on writing an EP,&#8221;
