Matthew Murphy - A Sober Wombat

Про цей епізод

Matthew Murphy, front-man of the iconic UK band The Wombats, joins us in our first VulnerabiliTea House of 2025. In this episode, Murph answers one of life’s most terrifying questions, “In what ways do you fear you could negatively impact your children?” He also shares his experience with panic attacks, anxiety and depression and is extremely honest detailing how alcohol became a crutch. Becoming sober, which Murph describes as the best decision of his life, was not easy.  Murph goes into detail about what the withdrawal process was like and how he began to find joy in activities again. Murph, thank you for soundtracking our youths (and current lives), and thank you for this incredibly helpful conversation.  If you would like to watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link: https://bit.ly/4i6hRRi  💿 Things to listen to: Love Fame Tragedy (Murph’s solo project) - https://apple.co/432zLQP The Wombats new album Oh!
