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.

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.

Have you ever been in the middle of an amazing concert, a great movie, or a long-awaited vacation... only to catch yourself thinking about the moment ending before it's even over?

In this week's episode of This Is Why Musicians Need Therapy, Rich explores what it means to struggle with living in the present. Why do some of us spend so much time anticipating the end of life's best moments instead of fully experiencing them? Is it anxiety, habit, or something deeper?

Through the lens of a working musician, this honest and personal conversation looks at how our minds can pull us out of the present and into the future, and how that can quietly steal our joy. Whether you're a musician or not, if you've ever found yourself worrying about tomorrow while today is still unfolding, this episode is for you.
