I Had to Break Myself Down First

This week, we’re getting real about evolution, not the pretty kind, the painful kind. In “I Had to Break Myself Down First,” we talk about: The story and energy behind Mom’s new single and what this era represents Reinventing yourself publicly and unapologetically What it actually looks like to evolve as a woman in music and media Releasing the songs sitting in your notes app (yes, we went there 👀) How AI is starting to play a role in our creative process and the future of the podcast Why breaking yourself down is sometimes the only way to build something better This episode is about growth, risk, and stepping into the next version of yourself before you feel “ready.” Because sometimes… you don’t glow up. You break down first.
