I'm so grateful for this candid discussion with Drea and Gaby from The Venomous Pinks. Drea lets us into her private world explaining the recent struggles on the European tour with her mental health and how the band dealt with this. She discusses feeling dead inside, lacking motivation and how she was able to shift out of this place. We look at post tour recovery, managing overwhelm and how their song " Hold On" has become somewhat of an anthem now to them as they manage their mental health struggles by, "pushing through and holding on" as well as a useful tool of a "code word" to alert mental health situations. Some lessons learnt from touring with the legendary Dead Kennedys and a beautiful discussion around the heart/heart chakra and how to access this to reach new limits in their creative process. We also talk about phrases that piss us off when going through a mental health moment and all the good stuff too like what we can expect from them in the near future.It really is so special when people let you into their space and I am always so deeply moved by this. xxx
