Moderated by <em>Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Hannah Dailey and BetterHelp\u2019s Sana Khwaja, the group discusses how the music industry pits women against each other, the difficult but beneficial act of scheduling a therapy session during a busy periods and the stress that comes with following up a successful album. Peters and Humberstone reminisce about their friendship over the years, how they constantly would get compared to each other and gush about their appreciation for each other\u2019s work. They also dive deep into their mental health over the years, talking about how hate didn\u2019t phase them when they were younger, how an online pile-on can really affect your headspace and how much easier it is to create art when you are mentally in a good place.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHolly Humberstone: I was quite intimidated by the concept of therapy.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMaisie Peters: Finding some better ways to cope with better ways to communicate, and I think that was really beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHolly Humberstone: Investing in yourself and investing in your mental health is always going to be a good thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMaisie Peters: I definitely should apologize to my therapist, because I\u2019ve not replied to her in some months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHannah Dailey: Hi, everyone. This is Hannah Dailey with <em>Billboard<\/em>. Welcome to Like Minded, which is our series in partnership with BetterHelp, where we bring artists together for an honest, open conversation about mental health to shine a spotlight on what it\u2019s like to be an artist in 2026 balancing mental health, and hopefully, in the process, learning from each other along the way. Today I\u2019m joined by two people I could not be more excited to talk to. We have Holly Humberstone and Maisie Peters, and then also with me is Sana Khwaja. She is here on behalf of BetterHelp. She is an incredible, experienced therapist and mental-health professional, and we\u2019re excited to all be here together, right.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSana Khwaja: Excited. And really looking forward to hear some of your experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHolly Humberstone: Me too.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHannah Dailey: For people who don\u2019t know, you two are actually friends in real life, correct?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHolly Humberstone: We see each other a lot on, like, we are on festival circuits. We followed each other around for a summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMaisie Peters: What a time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHolly Humberstone: Oh yeah, that was a good time.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHannah Dailey: Has a real cornerstone of your friendship been having these similar experiences as artists and supporting each other?<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>Keep watching for more!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> Katie Cao<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/video\/maisie-peters-holly-humberstone-pitted-against-each-other\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is partner content.
