About this episode

Tyler Blackburn discusses his journey through acting, personal struggles, and the importance of self-worth and seeking help.

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with actor and singer Tyler Blackburn! Tyler reflects on how he first got started in acting, the audition process that led to his role on Pretty Little Liars, and what it was like navigating sudden fame and attention from the show. He opens up about growing up being bullied, his struggles with body image, and the journey of coming out with his sexuality. Tyler also shares about the dark place he found himself in last year, what ultimately brought him to that breaking point, and the moment he realized he needed to ask his family for help. He also talks about how his definition of self-worth today looks very different than it did ten years ago, what it takes to learn to love and celebrate himself again, and what he’s most proud of in himself today!
