Country music star Ashley McBryde sits down with Bobby and gets real about the lyrics that forced her to admit she wasn’t okay and the moments that followed when her drinking went from “after the show” to off the rails. She walks him through the intervention-style wake-up call, what it felt like to actually stay in rehab, and the tools she had to learn just to be around alcohol again. Plus, Ashley talks about the identity shift from being the whiskey-drinking badass to making sober music, why she believes stage choices can hurt more than just one person, and how her new N/A bar on Broadway has turned into an unexpected safe space—especially when fans walk in having no idea she might be there.
