012: Rapsody on the Journey to Being Brave Enough to Love (Herself)

Rapsody is a multi-Grammy award winning rapper and songwriter whose excellence has set the standard what a good lyricist is for the last decade. But, in her new album "Please Don't Cry," she's making it less about the acrobatic bars and more about the vulnerability it took for her to become this new, more healed version of herself. Through deep talks with friends, listening to music from her heroes like Lauryn Hill, meditation and more, she is sharing her heart and her talent in a whole new way. And in this conversation, she and Gia take the journey from little Marlanna Evans in North Carolina, to the superstar rapper that is the Rapsody we know and love today. Listen as she shares lessons, defining moments, and the mindset she developed to put industry standards down to pick up the parts of herself she put away to fit in.And how love helped her do it.As always, this is going to be GOOD.
