Charity Rose Thielen and Kenny Hensley of The Head and The Heart join Going There with Dr. Mike as Consequence Podcast Network and Sound Mind Live kick off Season 6. The artists – known for hit singles like "Rivers and Roads," "Another Story," and "Lost in My Mind," and their new album Aperture featuring the single "Time With My Sins" – dive deep into the complex relationship between creative collaboration, the music industry, and mental health.
Speaking with Dr. Mike, Charity and Kenny explore their personal and collective journeys, including the supportive "welcoming energy" of the Seattle music scene that fostered their start, the delicate chemistry within a band, and the intense pressures of touring. They discuss former member Josiah Johnson's struggle with addiction and Kenny shares his own battle with addiction to alcohol and prescription medication, detailing his path to recovery and the importance of being open to the changing function of coping mechanisms. They share coping strategies such as group therapy for the band, finding new hobbies and creative outlets outside of their primary musical work, and turning to different forms of music (classical, film scores, nostalgic songs) for comfort and catharsis.
