While MeghanTrainor is all about that bass, she’s also all about conversations surrounding mental health. The 30-year-old mom of two recently opened up to Audacy about the importance she places on tending to her own mental heath along with some of the boundaries she keeps.

“Mental health was always very important to me before [my kids] were born, but now that they’re here, mental health is number one for me,” she shared. “I have to think about that visual when you’re on an airplane and you put on your mask first and then you put on the kids mask ‘cause if you don’t take care of yourself, how are you gonna take care of someone else? I want to be the best I can be for them.”

In order to be her best, Trainor has set some personal boundaries for herself, especially when it comes to social media. The “Been Like This,” singer shared she does her best to protect herself from the haters and not give any energy to negative comments by avoiding them all together.

“I don’t go digging for comments, I don’t sit there for a long time going through trying to figure out how people feel about me because I know not everyone is going to love me,” she said. “I don’t search me, I don’t take the time to do that.”

By being open about her own struggles with mental health, Meghan hopes to let others know they aren’t alone — just like another star did for her when she was in the depths on anxiety. “When I heard CarsonDaly talk about his panic attacks, that was the only thing that made me feel like I wasn’t crazy,” she shared. “Hearing someone explain exactly what I felt… made me feel so seen and so not alone that I was like, ‘I gotta talk about what I went through.’”

She concluded, “I think the more we talk about it, the more people we’re helping and that’s such a gift.”
