During a visit to our Los Angeles studios, sister Rock trio The Warning, took a moment to talk about mental health, the importance of continuing the conversation, and the tools they use for themselves, as part of our ongoing I’m Listening initiative.
LISTEN NOW: The Warning Talk Mental Health
The Villarreal Vélez sisters have learned a lot in their young careers, en route to their upcoming fifth studio album, Everything's Falling, set to be released on August 28.
“I think it's important to continue having conversations about mental health because talking is the best thing you can do when you're feeling alone,” they share, “and connecting and removing that stigma of like, you have to keep it to yourself is the most helpful thing we can do as a society for other people.”
“I think our views about mental health have evolved a lot since we started, being a touring band and being away from home and changing our day to day schedules,” Daniela says. “We just have to adapt to a lot of things and mental health and therapy have helped a lot. It's just evolved into seeing it as getting to know yourself a lot better and then getting to know yourself, you know how you work and how you can adapt to the world around you, so honestly I think that's like so beautiful and I hope we can still do it.”
It’s okay to not be OK. We know the power of talk can save lives. Audacy's I’m Listening aims to share valuable resources for those who need to connect, heal, and share their own stories. To those who are dealing with mental health issues, understand you are not alone. If you or anyone you know is struggling with depression or anxiety, know that someone is always there. Additionally, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 988. Find a full list of additional resources here.
