Kesha on The Music Industry, Legal Battles & Starting Therapy

Video Description

In this deeply soulful and wide-ranging conversation, Monica sits down with singer, songwriter, and now record label founder Kesha to talk about healing, spirituality, and the long road to joy. Kesha opens up about her fight for autonomy, the emotional toll of public scrutiny, and how her spiritual journey and her work with Rick Rubin helped her reconnect with herself. From crystals and plant medicine to reclaiming her voice in every sense, this episode is a celebration of vulnerability, truth, and radical self-love. She also shares why she made the decision to change the opening lyric in her hit song "TikTok" as an act of solidarity and advocacy. Plus, Kesha talks about the inspiration behind her new single Joy Ride and what the “Tits Out Tour” really means.

(That’s me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people – recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends – about what it means to reclaim what’s been lost or taken in the broadest sense. Every week, I’ll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves. And because I love a good tangent, we’ll probably also touch on other stuff, too.
