Alex Warren: Songs About Dead People
b"TW: substance, emotional, physical abuse\\xa0\\xa0\\nSocial media sensation and powerhouse singer-songwriter Alex Warren joins the Lautners to discuss his challenging childhood that made him who he is today as a friend, partner, and artist. Alex lost his father to cancer at the age of 9, and his mother a few years ago to addiction. He suffered emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his mother, before being kicked out at the age of 18. He was homeless and started posting content on the internet, then watched as his life quickly took a turn. Despite millions of followers tracking his every move, he\\u2019s opening up now like never before in his music. In addition to sharing his childhood with us, he opens up about current family dynamics with his siblings, his outlook on death, and the most cathartic song he\\u2019s ever written. Lastly, he talks about his fianc\\xe9, Kouvr, and the incredible support she\\u2019s been in his life.\\xa0\\nBe sure to follow Alex @alexwaarren\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nThanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode:\\xa0\\nCerebral \\u2014 To get started on your path towards better mental health, cerebral is giving our listeners 15% off their first month of online therapy, medication or both.
