In this episode, I spoke to Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Alessia Cara. Discovered at the tender age of 18, she\\u2019s grown up in the spotlight, and shared that journey with her fans through her music \\u2013 often showing us a perspective far outside the confident, sexy pop-princess norm. Her unique voice and emotional vulnerability gives her lyrics a power; a sense of relatability for anyone who has ever felt alone or unloved or sad.

What struck me about this conversation is her ability to be so completely open about her struggles with maintaining mental health. For many, those internal battles can be incredibly lonely, and Alessia, through her music and openness, is bravely creating space for them. She\\u2019s refreshingly honest about her personal battles, and throughout this conversation I couldn\\u2019t help but feel encouraged and uplifted by being able to share our common experiences.
