For our last episode, I sit down with functional mental health practitioner Kelley Erickson to explore The Life of a Showgirl through the lens of emotional integration, identity, and resistance.
We unpack why this album feels so different, the emotional arc of Taylor’s discography, and why this album is a culmination, not a contradiction.
We talk about performance, power, and what it looks like refuse to play by patriarchy’s rules while remaining within the system—and we go DEEP.
I learned so much from this conversation, and it unlocked a whole new level of appreciation for both the album and the brilliant artist behind it.
