  • Ella Langley on Struggling During Success
    May 13 2025

    With a massive week at the 60th ACM Awards, it might seem like Ella Langley doesn't have a trouble in the world, but that's not always the case. The award-winning "you look like you love me" singer weighed in on her own mental health before taking the stage at last week's show, and shared that although it looks glamourous from the outside, two things can be true.

    "I won't lie, this last week has been probably one of the toughest mental health weeks I've had in a long time," Langley shared at 'Sharla McCoy's Buckin' Broadcast' during ACM week. "Which is crazy because so many good things are happening, so many things I've prayed for, and dreamed about."

    These struggles are not new for Ella, who shares that it's a disease in her family. "I think it's important to talk about it and to share that."

    Sometimes behind the glitter of success, there's often more to the story, Langley reminds us. "Just because I might seem like on the top of the mountain right now, it doesn't look like that all the time. Also, it's okay to be two things."

    While navigating her own hurdles and struggles when it comes to mental health, Ella says for her it's about being grateful. "I think at the end of the day, just spinning it back on being grateful for what God's given me and the place that I get to be in," she admits. "Hopefully my honesty and realness, some little girl or little boy who wants to do this gets to gets to see that. It is tough, but tough things are worth going through if you want them bad enough."

    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.

  • benny blanco on Talking About Mental Health
    Feb 26 2025

    During our recent Check In with benny blanco detailing his surprise album, 'I Said I Love You First,' with fiancée Selena Gomez, benny spoke of the importance of finding someone to talk to who can help manage your anxieties and stress, while offering a simple way to turn down the pressure when it becomes too much.

    "I think we're in a position where, people look up to us and people put artists and musicians on this pedestal," says blanco, "and I think it's so important to show that everybody's the same, no matter who you are."

    "Everybody's going through something," he admits. "I get crippled by anxiety and it's OK to not be OK all the time. I feel like more people should just be real about it and say that everything isn't always perfect. It's not always fine. We're always in some sort of battle and you should talk about it, and talk to other people, and find someone great that you can talk to."

    Getting outside for a little bit of exercise has proven to be a great way for benny to reset his own mental health. "For me, going on a walk and just clearing my head always helps me," he says. "Whenever I don't know what to do, whenever I'm feeling stressed, I always drink a big glass of water and then go on a walk. Then, I always feel a little better when I come back."

    Audacy's I’m Listening initiative aims to encourage those who are dealing with mental health issues to understand they 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.
