Episode description as stored
Good Grief, the album, is out everywhere this Friday, and the documentary comes to theaters nationwide September 2!
Our dear friend Sara Bareilles joins us to talk about Good Grief—her deeply personal new album and documentary—and what she’s learning about grief, love, mental health, and the terrifying practice of trusting life to hold us.
Sara shares how infertility, loss, and some of her hardest moments became music; why grief might be love that has everywhere to go; and what becomes possible when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start telling the truth.
-Why Sara says avoiding pain doesn’t work: “It hurts anyway.”
- Sara on mental health, the fear of being “too much,” and learning to trust that life will hold her
-The unexpected connection between Sara’s infertility journey, Andrea Gibson, and the creation of Good Grief
-The stories and meaning behind the songs and lyrics including what it means to “worship your weather” instead of fearing your feelings
For everything Good Grief—the new album, documentary, and more—visit sarabmusic.com.
