Series 2, Episode 1 - Tenderness talks overcoming grief through music, songs that give you hope, and choosing a band name you're not ashamed of

As Series 2 of Mental Notes kicks off, Katie Beth Young - also known as Tenderness - talks to me about her debut solo album True. We take a deep dive into some of her lyrics, exploring how they relate to mental health - with a particular focus on how songs and songwriting helped Katie to overcome grief, make sense of past relationships, and investigate her own way of thinking.Throughout the episode, we discuss the many ways that music both helps and hinders good mental health, the things Katie wishes she could tell her younger self, and music by other artists that resonate with her own mental health experiences. Also, my podcasting app refuses to let Katie tell me where she lives,If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to the podcast on your favourite podcast app. You can also subscribe to the Mental Notes website, or follow me on Instagram or Bluesky.
