Teagan reflects on how travel, heartbreak, family wounds, and a life devoted to artistic expression have shaped her outlook on love, authenticity, and personal growth. She shares how her upcoming album emerged without a plan or agenda, teaching her to trust the work itself rather than force outcomes. Together, they discuss the power of showing up honestly, building meaningful connections, and finding the courage to create from a place of emotional rawness. The result is a thoughtful conversation about letting life, art, and purpose unfold naturally.Key TopicsThe relationship between valour and vigour in creative pursuitsTravel's impact on personal and artistic growthThe importance of authenticity and raw communication in artBuilding community and collaboration in musicHeartdea13r theme song by William J.
