RaeLynn is back in the studio and this conversation is SO good ✨ We talk about the evolution of her music career, how embracing her style helped her fully step into herself, balancing motherhood with music, and the wild full-circle Jonas Brothers moment that honestly feels straight out of a movie. So much honesty, laughter, growth, and perspective in this one 🤍 I’ve known RaeLynn for over a decade, and getting to watch her story unfold, from the early days to the woman, artist, and mama she is now, has been such a cool thing to witness.

Julia Cole is a Texas-born, Nashville-based artist who’s built her career independently, turning heartbreak, confidence, and real-life stories into what she calls Sisterhood Country, music that empowers, heals, and brings people together. A former elite athlete and volleyball standout, she’s brought that same drive to the stage, growing a loyal fanbase, earning hundreds of millions of streams, making her Grand Ole Opry debut, and becoming one of country music’s most exciting rising voices.

Some conversations stay with you forever, and this is one of them. Getting to talk with Amy Grant felt surreal. We talked about her powerful new album, The Me That Remains, her first album in 13 years, a project that beautifully weaves together the stories, seasons, and soul of a life fully lived.

We went all the way back to the beginning… from being discovered and signed over the phone at just 16 years old, to building a beautiful life and love story with Vince Gill (who, as it turns out, measure their love in dogs ❤️).

Amy was the very first artist I ever truly fell in love with. My sister and I absolutely wore out Heart in Motion, singing into our hairbrushes like we were on stage right beside her.

To get to talk with someone whose music helped shape your childhood, and hear the stories behind the legend, was something I’ll never forget.
