Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1663DM Rachel Platten thought having kids would kill her creativity. It did the opposite. She says creating a child is the most creative act there is, and now she pulls from a wider, wilder range of emotion than ever before. But the real gold is her pre-show ritual. Three columns. Column one: every fear and worry. Column two: her actual job, just breathe, be present, have fun. Column three: God's job, which is everything else. She writes "go God, go" and gives Him a checkmark when He comes through. Taylor Swift once told her something that changed how she survives packed seasons: you don't get days off, you get moments off. Small, honest, and genuinely funny.

Rachel Platten reveals the three-column exercise she uses before every big performance, writing down her fears, her actual job, and everything she hands off to God. She also explains why becoming a mom didn't steal her creativity, it multiplied it, turning grief and terror into songs that still somehow sound joyful.
