Series 2, Episode 2 - Brain Leak on addiction, using songwriting as expression and, randomly, the joys of joinery

As Series 2 of Mental Notes continues, Tara Gabriella Engelhardt – also known as Brain Leak – talks to me about her recent music. We dive into some of her lyrics, exploring how they relate to mental health – with a particular focus on how songs and songwriting helped her overcome addiction, make sense of her mind, and be open.Throughout the episode, we discuss the many ways that music helps good mental health, the things Tara does to look after herself, joinery, and Blink 182. 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.
