Episode 17 - Alec Benjamin Opens Up about Mental Health and Songwriting

In this heartfelt episode of The Peer Project, I sit down with Alec Benjamin for an open and honest chat about music, mental health, and the power of meaningful songwriting. Alec shares how his personal struggles have shaped his music, his journey with ADHD and OCD, and what inspires him to create songs that truly connect with people.

We also chat about the importance of fitness for mental well-being, the story behind Mind is a Prison, and the impact of powerful lyrics like I Built a Friend. Plus, there’s a touching moment where my daughter joins us — and it’s one I’ll never forget.
