Band Wives Episode 48: Tamsin Embleton: Writing the Book on Touring and Mental Health

July 12, 2023

It's been one year of Band Wives and this week Chondra and Misha are back with a very important (and very brilliant) guest. Join them as they welcome Tamsin Embleton, Director of Music Industry Therapists and writer of "Touring and Mental Health: The Music Industry Manual" for a deep conversation about surviving life on and off the road, the impact the industry can have on mental health including specific issues like performance anxiety, addiction and post-tour recovery, as well as strategies to bridge the gap between the bus and home that are useful for health and relationships even if you're not a road warrior. From maintaining a psychological presence when traveling with a pro tip from Taylor Hanson to Tamsin's advice that "saying something is better than saying nothing," you don't want to miss this poignant talk.


Also, Chondra broke her kneecap, Misha got a mammogram...and the Wives are drowning in summertime fun (or maybe it's just the humidity.)
