Episode 80: Finding Her Voice: How Songwriting & Healing Led to True Faith w/ Alana Springsteen

This week, we sat down with country singer-songwriter Alana Springsteen for a raw, honest, and deeply personal conversation about growing up in the church, living as a people-pleaser, and what it actually takes to step into your own voice.Alana shares how, for much of her life, she shaped herself around expectations, becoming who others needed her to be, inheriting a version of faith that did not fully feel like her own. It was not until she started getting honest, doing the inner healing work, and allowing herself to question everything that something shifted.Through songwriting and healing, she did not just find her voice, she encountered a more authentic and grounded experience of God.We also talk about one of the most relatable tensions so many people face, how to stay connected to family members who do not agree with where you have landed. Alana shares what it has looked like to hold love, compassion, and boundaries at the same time, and how to honor your growth without losing the people who matter to you.Her upcoming album, I Hope This Helps, is a reflection of this journey, vulnerable, honest, and deeply human.This episode is for anyone who is ready to stop performing and start living from what is true.FOLLOW ALANA & LISTEN TO HER MUSICInstagram/TikTok: @alanaspringsteenYouTube Website + Tour DatesGet ticketsListen to the NEW ALBUM!!
