Show Notes
We’re so lucky to start off this season of On The Mend with actress and musician Emily Kinney. You may know her as Beth from "The Walking Dead" or from her music (when she sang "Oh, Jonathan" to us we seriously got the goosebumps), but did you know she was also an OG Mender?
We sat down with Emily (on her birthday!) to discuss her past relationships, her breakups, the lessons she learned in her twenties, how she takes care of herself and what inspired the songs on her new album "Oh, Jonathan." She takes us through her early heartbreaks and into her dating days in New York. She also provides valuable insight on how to channel your energy post-breakup and how to maintain some balance when you're an artist. We're sure you're going to love every bit of it.
Her new album "Oh Jonathan," a beautiful record of love and heartbreak, is out now and you can find it on iTunes and Spotify. You can also get tickets to see her live at emilykinneymusic.com. To see behind-the-scenes footage from the episode, be sure to follow @letsmend and @ellenhuerta on Instagram.
This episode of On The Mend was produced by Candice Lim and our music is by Booker Hill.
