How Travis Barker overcame his deepest fears and trauma
Travis Barker shares how falling in love helped him finally conquer his fear of flying
Musician Travis Barker is opening up about the profound impact that love, family, and healing have had on his life's journey. Reflecting on his upcoming documentary, Barker revealed that the project had actually been delayed for a decade because it lacked the hopeful conclusion he wanted. For years, he was entirely against stepping near an airplane following a past near-death experience.
However, Barker credits his children for giving him initial strength and his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, for instilling the hope he needed to finally fly again. By learning to run toward his fears rather than letting them hold him back, he was able to rewrite his story. Now that his children fly as well, Barker hopes that sharing his deeply personal experiences through his documentary will offer a much-needed glimpse of hope to others facing their own immense struggles.
