EPISODE 18 - tyler herwig
From Sobriety to Spotlight: Tyler Herwig on Music, Fatherhood & Fearless Living
This week on the Mental Health and Music Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Tyler Herwig—chart-topping indie artist, road warrior, husband, father, and fellow traveler in recovery. From performing over 250 shows a year to touring with his wife and kids in tow, Tyler shares his inspiring journey of addiction recovery, the mysticism of music, and the deep purpose that fuels everything he does.
We talk about the fear of success, the power of mentorship, the strength of healthy relationships, and what it means to truly go all in on your dream. Tyler opens up about the emotional backbone of his music, the “gift of desperation” that launched his full-time career, and the tools he uses to stay grounded in the chaos of touring and creation. This episode is about grit, grace, and building a life that sings with meaning.
