Lzzy Hale of Halestorm faces her Nemesis– Herself | #14

On this very special episode of “Harder to Breathe'', host, founding drummer of “Maroon 5”, and licensed therapist, Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian “Duck” Maillard for a phenomenal conversation with the lead vocalist and songwriter of “Halestorm”: Lzzy Hale.

 

Lzzy Hale, alongside her band “Halestorm”, has become a household name in the Hard Rock space. With more than 3.5 Million monthly listeners on Spotify, a Grammy Award, and hundreds of millions of views on Youtube, she has reached the absolute pinnacle of what it means to succeed in the Metal music genre… a task made especially difficult as a female vocalist.

 

Having accomplished everything that she has, it would be easy for Lzzy to sit back comfortably with the life she has built. Instead, she has chosen to become an advocate for Mental Health, and today is utilizing her incredible charm and charisma to share her own struggles with us– Struggles which have included Imposter Syndrome, Anxiety, Alcoholism, and more. 

 

This conversation with Ryan and Duck features aspects of Lizzy’s alcoholism that she is speaking about publicly for the first time ever. It is incredibly vulnerable for a person of her position to express herself in the way that she does here, and it makes for an absolutely inspiring, can’t-miss episode of the “Harder to Breathe” Podcast.
