Touring can be exciting, but behind the curtain it often brings sleep disruption, financial strain, poor diet, and long periods of isolation, all of which take a toll on mental health. In this episode, I’m joined by Grace Meadows of Music Minds Matter, the mental health arm of Help Musicians, to unpack the realities of life on the road before touring season begins this autumn.

We discuss why mental health issues are so prevlalent within the creative industries, the work Music Minds Matter are doing and talk through Grace's practical tools and tips for protecting your wellbeing on tour.
