EP 89 - Alanis Morissette
What a thrill today is for me. My guest is Alanis Morissette. It is no exaggeration when I say Alanis is my favorite musical artist of all time. I am so honored to get to spend this time interviewing Alanis. It is not surprising that her music resonates with me. We love talking about all the same things. We love diving deep. Exploring our inner selves, to get the best out of life for us and everyone we spend time with. Alanis and I talk about motherhood, partnership, friendship, and yes music. Alanis was kind enough to walk me through a bit of her artistic process behind "Such Pretty Forks in the Road.” We talked about everything from being on stage, to meditation, to unschooling. We covered some ground. I can’t wait to be at an Alanis Morissette concert again…and guess what, neither can she. Enjoy today's episode.
