  Between Episodes - You Wanna Fight?

  Sep 10, 20268 min

  Maybe you don't want to fight anymore. In the fourth installment of Between the Episodes , Rich talks about reaching a point in life where not every disagreement needs to become an argument and not every hill is worth dying on. He has opinions. He cares about things. He enjoys a good discussion and doesn't mind disagreeing with people. But these days, he'd rather protect his peace than spend his energy fighting battles that don't really matter. Sometimes walking away isn't weakness. Sometimes it's simply knowing what deserves your time, energy, and attention. A short, honest, personal conversation about getting older, choosing your battles, avoiding unnecessary conflict, and realizing that sometimes, you just want some peace.

  TIWMNT EP19 - I'm Too Old For This S**t

  Sep 5, 202651 minS1

  Getting older has a funny way of changing your perspective. The things that seemed incredibly important when we were younger don't always seem quite so important anymore, and sometimes, the things we once took for granted becomethe things we appreciate most. In Episode 19 of This Is Why Musicians Need Therapy , RichDavidson, Eric Forbis, and Craig Hendry talk about what happens when three gigging musicians realize they're not exactly young men anymore. We talk about how getting older has changed the way we look at music, performing, life, relationships, and ourselves . There are plenty of laughs, a healthy dose of "I'm too old for this," and, as always, some honest conversations about the things that come with getting older. Because getting older doesn't necessarily mean you stop doing what you love. Sometimes it just means you need better shoes, more recovery time, and a slightly earlier bedtime. Listen, laugh, and maybe recognize a little bit of yourself along the way. #ThisIsWhyMusiciansNeedTherapy #MusicianLife #GettingOlder#MentalHealthPodcast #GiggingMusician

  Between Episodes - Suck It Up and Get Over It

  Aug 13, 20267 minS1

  I wasn't exactly raised to talk about my feelings and emotions . In fact, quite the opposite. So while I've learned that being open, vulnerable, and honest about mental health is healthy, that doesn't mean it comes naturally. In this episode of Between Episodes , I talk about that conflict, and why I'm going to keep opening up, even if part of me is still uncomfortable doing it. Sometimes personal growth isn't about becoming comfortable. It's about doing the uncomfortable thing anyway. ❤️ #BetweenEpisodes #MentalHealthMatters #EmotionalWellness #Vulnerability #MentalHealthAwareness

  TIWMNT EP18 - Should My Wife Leave Me?

  Aug 6, 202655 minS1

  Okay... before you panic, hear us out. Being a gigging musician isn't just about playing music. It's late nights, weekends, holidays, missed birthdays, family dinners, soccer games, and trying to figure out how to be a great musician without forgetting how to be a great husband or dad. In this episode of This Is Why Musicians Need Therapy , Rich Davidson, Eric Forbis, and Craig Hendry have an honest, and occasionally funny, conversation about the unique challenges of balancing life on stage with life at home. We talk about the guilt that comes with missing important family moments, the sacrifices our spouses and children make, and the constant struggle to find that elusive work-life balance. Whether you're a working musician, someone with an unconventional schedule, or anyone who's ever wondered if they're giving enough to the people they love, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the hardest part of chasing your dream... is making sure it doesn't come at the expense of the people who helped you chase it. Listen now, and if this episode resonates with you, don't forget to like, subscribe, follow, and share . Every listen helps us reach more musicians, and more people, who could use an honest conversation about life, music, and mental health. #WorkLifeBalance #MusicianLife #MentalHealthMatters #MusicPodcast #ThisIsWhyMusiciansNeedTherapy
